Hijab protest in Karnataka

At the beginning of January 2022, a dispute erupted in the Indian state of Karnataka, when Muslim students wearing hijab in a junior college were denied entry to classes. Over the following weeks, it spread to several other schools and colleges across the state. On 5 February 2022, the Karnataka government issued an order to make uniforms compulsory in educational institutions. Several schools cited this order and denied entry to Muslim girls wearing the hijab. Following this, two petitions with regard to this issue were filed in the Karnataka High Court. On 8 February 2022, the Government of Karnataka announced the closure of high schools and colleges for three days after the protests and disputes over the wearing of hijab intensified.

Incidents

In late December 2021 and early January 2022, a dispute broke out between students and the administration in multiple educational institutions across the state of Karnataka regarding the wearing of hijab. The controversy intensified in early February 2022.

Muslim students wearing hijab in a junior college were denied entry to classes. Later, on 5 February 2022, the Bharatiya Janata Party led Karnataka government issued an order to make uniforms mandatory, while also stating that in the absence of a dress code, students can wear "the dress which will not affect equality, integrity and law & order". The order mentioned that the uniform were to be decided by the state government in government schools, and by the school management in private schools. Several schools cited this order and denied entry to Muslim girls wearing the hijab.

Several students from the 'Government Pre University College for Girls, Udupi, petitioned the Karnataka High Court against the ban, stating that wearing the hijab was their constitutional right. Two petitions related to this issue were filed in the High Court.

On 8 February 2022, the Government of Karnataka announced the closure of high schools and colleges for three days, after the controversy over the wearing of hijab by Muslim students intensified. The Bangalore Police prohibited protests and agitations from 9 February until 22 February within the vicinity of any educational institution.Two men were arrested when they were found carrying lethal weapons during a protest about this issue. Three others managed to flee.

Reactions

  • Apoorvanand, a professor of Hindi at the University of Delhi, called the controversy a part of a larger project in which “Muslim identity markers are being declared as sectarian and undesirable in public spaces". He said "It is telling Muslims and non-Hindus that the state will dictate their appearance and their practices,".
  • Malala Yousafzai – In her tweet, Malala said that it is terrible to prevent girls wearing hijab from entering school. She said that there were still objections against women in the matter of dressing more or less and demanded that Indian leaders should stop the process of separating Muslim women from the mainstream.
  • Vishva Hindu Parishad - Leader termed the hijab row “a conspiracy to propagate jihadi terrorism” and said that Muslim students were attempting “hijab jihad” in college campuses.
