A controversy has erupted in Kerala over an Islamic organization conducting classes on ‘gender politics’ for a section of students at a medical college here, in which male and female students are seated separately, divided by a curtain . The matter came to light when an office-bearer of the group conducting the class posted a picture of it on social media.

The office-bearer, who posted the photo on social media, said the cost of the classes was borne by the group, which thought they could put up a screen or veil to separate the two sexes. Reacting to criticism of the incident, the official posted on Facebook, “Just show your frustration and go kids.”

As the incident was widely condemned on social media, the group defended its action, saying there was nothing wrong in covering up the segregation of students on the basis of their gender. The Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad, a progressive mass science movement in the state, condemned the incident.
