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.

The 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 classroom in the college for wearing the hijab. The college management had cited the new uniform policy as the reason.

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