#HijabRow #KarnatakaSchoolsReopen

NDTV you should not show biased narrative. Just showing a single girls opinion, you cannot paint the whole community with the same paint. The beauty of islam is freedom to follow religion, if you not willing to wear hijab nobody can force you to wear. If you want to practice religion and want to wear hijab nobody can dare to ask to remove. This is hypocarcy of india where hidutva public elected representative of country Modi can visit temple and wear hindutva dresses and preach hindutva, but minorities cant follow they own religion freely and need to choose education or religion. Shame on india and shame on people of india. Our western world is better where everyone is respected for inclusion and diversity. Indians need to understand Hindus are minorities all over the world except india. If every country western world or arab nation starts kicking indian hindus out of they land, Modi/BJP/RSS will not provide bread and butter to your family. So every indian should think wisely and dont pretend that you are the frog in the well and there is no world outside.

india is moving back to stone age, ,, that is for sure ..!!!! more concered on relegion than on infra structural development !!! its a shame !! outside india, once we were known for trading now on fascism !!!

Muskan through her action has proved that basis of partition in 1947 " TWO NATION THEORY" was and is correct. Wisdom and vision of Muhammad Ali Jinnah is proving to be true after almost 74 years. Freely practicing and following religion is becoming extremely difficult for Indian Muslims. Love from Pakistan.

Student should follow the dress code rule, I think they should not make it religious matter.

[historyman]

With utmost respect to all religions, If wearing a Tilak, Turban, Cross inside schools and colleges are allowed so should Hijab!.

If your preaching to be uniform then ban other religious wears.
Banning hijab only is right in what angle? Discrimination!!

Support you Girls.

[smartest]

Feku= panauti.
Constitutional right to wear live freely.
Those who wrote apologies letter now show us path.

[puneetkumar]

Good step but I would add something there should be no hindu prayers and celebration etc

[bazookagaming]

Muskan Khan father PFI District Leader.
But NDTV did not question that like they did to Students who wore Saffron Shawl.
Ban all Kerala Organizations in Karnataka.

[manmanpyngrope]

School building looks very bad in condition, people of Karnataka should call Kejriwal to make a new School.

[YesYes-opmq]

Hijab is necessary in islam whether Islamic or non Islamic countries constitution is not bigger than religion

[raheel]

Dress code rule can be complemented with hijab also. It is a choice and fundamental right to practice freely. It is like you stripping them naked and teaching them. What kind of teaching is that?

[intuitivecontrolsystem]

Create some issues, relax in homes,
Once tasted the school, college from home who wants to get back.
United by laziness divided whenever we need to work hard.
Note:Neither supporting either religion or community.
Go to school/ college, work hard study make India great again, if you can else let others do the job.

[waseematabassum]

No rule should be enforced all of a sudden.

[MrAhamedrusal]

Best use of 'Uniform' is to identify which school a student may belong to. Apart from that, if some of you seriously believe that it would be bring some kinda 'equality' and 'Uniformity' then you are seriously living is some kinda fools paradise or your agenda is something else. How could we keep religion out of schools? We could easily identify students religious identity by their names. In such cases will we start using pseudonames, like we see in the internet(fake ids). Also what about students being racist bullies? Would we ask students to wear masks (modi mask would be better if so😋) so everyone would look alike to counter it?
Non of the major MNCs don't even enforce a dress code, to make sure everyone feels comfortable in the dress they prefer to wear. All these are distractions and nothing else. Peace 😊

[mohammedkoya]

I am a follower of Naga Baba Swami, can I go to school and office without clothes as per custom ?? This is my right !!

[MY-bspp]

I think you have forgotten that the hijabi girls didn't even allowed to enter the campus. So that's why they started protests. Now you are changing the story 👏 wow ndtv

[learningpointinlife]

No freedom for women choice clothes why

[bimalkumarnayak]

Follow the uniform, end the controversy

[anirudh]

Hopeless students who don't adhere to rules and regulations of school or college should be thrown out. How they do in pvt institutions.
This drama must not affect other sincere students who come to study and make future.
First hijab then kitab then study online.
