The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On March 15th, a high court in southwest India ruled in support of allowing the banning of the hijab in government-run colleges and high schools. According to the Chief Justice of the High Court of Karnataka, Ritu Raj Awasthi, “wearing of hijab by Muslim women does not form a part of essential religious practice.” Al Jazeera reported that he stated that the government has the “power to prescribe uniform guidelines.” The hijab ban, ordered by the Karnataka government last month, sparked protests throughout the state in which Muslim students & parents expressed their outrage at what they say as an infringement of their fundamental rights, while many others counter-protested in support of the ban. Students who petitioned the initial order argued that their right to wear hijab is guaranteed under the Indian constitution. They also claimed that wearing a hijab is a fundamental and obligatory practice for Muslim women. Anas Tanwir, the lawyer who represented the students, called the ruling “disappointing and erroneous.” The Students Islamic Organisation of India, an organization representing thousands of Muslim students, are concerned that this ruling could signal other states to follow suit. The ruling has been appealed and the matter will be heard before the Supreme Court of India.
