'Hijab first, Education second': How Karnataka's Muslim students are fighting back | Ground Report

The Hijab versus Saffron protests have been raging across Karnataka. The protests by Muslim students first erupted at the beginning of 2022, when Kundapur PU College students alleged that they were not allowed in colleges with Hijabs. Soon other students wearing saffron shawls started protesting the demand by Muslim girls. While the Karnataka High Court hears the petition filed by Muslim girl students demanding that they be granted their constitutional rights, Hindustan Times reached Udupi the focal point of the stir. While speaking to students, Hindustan Times learnt that the entire controversy has divided the classrooms into two groups and in some cases even led to breakage of friendships. While Muslim girls refused to compromise on their demands, other students demanded that education should be given priority over religion. Watch this video for more details.

It's said that, "If a boy got education so only he is educated, but if a girl is educated so full family gets education ". When she says Education is her Second Priority, so it shows her family background & her upcoming generations future.

"Education is our second priority -" well done girl. You gave other well educated Muslim girls second hand embarrassment. 👏👏👏

[rahulgunjal]

Education is the second priority....wow... thank God I have completed my college before to see this😀😀😀

Education is the tool that breaks down all barriers. Education is part of the foundation of all progress and growth, both as an individual and as a society.

I m waiting when BBC news, lallantop & NDTV will show this brave hijab girl who is bravely saying for her religion is 1st priority education is second.🤦

I'm proud of karnataka students for standing up for this propaganda 👏
My salute to those little ones
Its good that I'm seeing some progress in saving n standing up for Hinduism, all these yrs ww wer brainwashed to not interfere, not question, not stand up for religion even if we are completely on the right, we wer just made to ignore or adjust n go ahead, but my dear friends, the games changed 🚩😇👊
Hindus are waking up, started to realize that it's enough is enough
Its time to push back 💪
I'm not saying we hv to go crazy n start beheading n butchering humans, thatz not what santana dharma stands for, we just want to fight for our existence n stop Hinduism from disappearing from India in another 100yrs, we will unite to gv a better life and a better country to our children!!!
Vande mataram 👊 ♥
