Forced to read Bible: Hindu organization
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti’s state spokesperson Mohan Gowda claimed that the school was forcing non-Christian students to read the Bible. Right-wing groups have claimed that there are also non-Christian students in the schools who are forced to read the Bible. However, the school has defended its move.

Hijab controversy started in Karnataka
The controversy over the hijab started in Karnataka this year. In the state’s Udupi, six Muslim girl students were barred from sitting in a class room in the college for wearing the hijab. The college management had cited the new uniform policy as the reason.

The Karnataka High Court had dismissed all the eight petitions filed by Muslim girls and others in support of the hijab.

However, in this case, the Karnataka High Court, in its judgment after 74 days of hearing, said that wearing hijab in schools is not mandatory. The matter is currently pending for hearing in the Supreme Court.
