Hijab row: Should schools have uniform dress code | Opinion by Anurag Sason

With the onset of 2022, the hijab controversy gripped the south Indian state of Karnataka. At the beginning of January 2022, some Muslim students wanting to wear hijab in a junior college were denied entry to classes. Soon, it spread to several other schools and colleges across the state.

Within no time, the row took political colour with names like Kangana Ranaut and Asaduddin Owaisi commenting on it.

Should educational institutes have a uniform dress code? Or some small changes depending on the religion should be allowed?
