GOod question, but the sae rights are asked by Hindus and Christians allow them too? I want to wear vibhooti, and safrron shawl , white robes etc? May be it is reactionary, but then who are you to decide that ..

 

Fact is religious symbols to a certain extent may be allowed but when it becomes your identity , schools are not the place..Keep it outside the education institution..

 

What purpose do vibhuti and saffron shawl serve apart from being religious symbol?

 

Hijab serves purpose of covering hair apart from being a religious symbol?

I don't decide anything, I'm against the idea of deciding for others in general. 

 

Have noticed the Om t shirts long long back in college, never thought there was anything wrong with them and wouldn't want them banned either.

It is my fundamental right to profess my religion , this is what these students are also demanding..

These are +1 and +2 kids where there is a uniform..Not a degree college where there is no dress code.

Either remove the uniform, let students decide what they want to wear...That will end this nonsense. From 8th standard, there should not be any uniforms..

Where do you see 4th type of dress in the image? And isn't face mask clear in those videos?

It may not be Burka but can you see the uniform? It is Niquab or Chador according to this pic.

I know that its all allowed, i'm just puzzled by this stupid controversy. Women should be free to cover themselves unless there are genuine issues like the ones I've mentioned (crime/identity verification).

so i am conflicted on this one, on one end i agree with religious freedom and if hijab is what gets these girls to school/college rather than sitting home so be it however in an already segregate society like ours should we promote differentiating attires which single out a small group of students and creates further divides

hmm, is that so ? When I first saw the video, I didn't notice entirety of a uniform among the protesting guys, maybe its the blue shirt now that you mention it. 

 

I don't think any religious clothing should replace the uniform, thanks for adding the key info here.

Black hijab with a black scarf tied on the face like a mask exposing only the eyes - teachers complained that they cannot recognize the student. 
 

Read this timelines, girls wore Hijab in campus , but not in class. This year 6 students wore it in class. School denies the students entry because it is against the uniform code

Now Hindus wants to wear saffron scarves and pagdis to class. Girls are saying , we will comply if they do too

Crazy to see how much money effort and time is wasted by Mankind on religion. Being an atheist and seeing this is frustrating, like seeing two groups of baboons fighting for a non existent Banana. 

The last atheist purged all the religious folks in china. So there is that. 

[gattaca]

This is stupid issue. Religion has no place in a private organization though. One should practice religion at home and leave it at home. Brining it outside causes these issues.

It is good to see finally Indian muslims have started demanding their rights.

Yes. It's their birth right...... To migrate to Pakistan...

This is not a religion issue, but a uniform issue. Why is that hard to get for all ya atheists?

Kerala HC has set the precedent, but BJP ruled state is facist

Wow stupid a** issue.  Just saw mainstream media has caught it now as well lol. 

Surprised to see this in a state like Karnataka.

So where do they plan to draw the line ? If hijab is banned, is pagdi allowed ? If a women is married, is mangalsutra allowed ? What about sindoor ? 
 
This is a slippery slope best avoided unless there are identity verification problems due to burqa (say a woman does not show her face to verify identity), which I don't think is the case here. 

There is no line…they’re anti Muslim.

[cric_fan]

It’s a piece of cloth covering heads…im sure elderly Indian non Muslim ladies cover their heads…will that be banned too? Doubt it.

asking to wear a hijab is a right? Only in stupid countries which are formed on religion , which is based on imaginary creature. Imagine people bend to imaginary creatures too

What's wrong with burqa ? Aren't we all used to it ? The women are wearing it by their choice, sure upbringing has a role to play. 

 

If there were criminals using it as an instrument to hide their identity, its a valid debate, and I'm partially on the side of a ban. That isn't the case here. 

 

What's your thought on pagdi ? Isn't that a religious symbol too ? Would you want to give it a pass coz it was worn 20 years back too ? Don't these practices change all the time ?

You want burqa to be allowed in school? Pagdi is an essential part of sikhism. Burqa, hijab aren't.
