@Article14live

Chief Justice N V Ramana retires on 26 Aug, delivering during his tenure 29 lectures on guarding/improving #India’s laws & #Constitution. Yet, as @OfficialSauravD’s analysis found, he did not walk his talk, providing no hearings for vital cases. 1/11

article-14.com/post/lots-of-s…

Instead of 5-6 days, it’s been 159 days since a special petition was filed against #Karnataka HC ruling upholding govt hijab ban in state educational institutions. “It just shows #SupremeCourt is reluctant to hear the matter:” Fauzia Shakil, case lawyer. 2/11

2 requests to urgently list the #hijabban case were made before Chief Justice’s bench. On 26 April, Chief Justice Ramana said, “Wait for two days.” On 13 July, he said, “Wait till next week.” The case has not yet been listed. The #hijabban continues. 3/11

Here, @KalpanaWilson asks Karnataka Edu Minister @drashwathcn "U spoke abt equity & inclusion being at the heart of ur policy on education & in particularly women from marginalised community, I wonder if u c any contradiction with what we r seeing under ur leadership..
#HijabBan

'We've seen young Muslim girls being systematically excluded from their colleges purely coz they're expressly their faith by wearing a hijab. That under ur watch we've seen these students being taunted & harassed by gangs shouting Islamophobic abuses empowered by ruling party.'

'Under ur watch we've seen Muslims women teachers being humiliated at school gate & compelled to uncover simple to pursue their employment & most recently we've seen an EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION in Karnataka being used for an arms training camp by bajrangdal..'

Fantastic editorial by @the_hindu on the #HijabBan today. The court had to merely assess if "wearing of the hijab, in addition to the prescribed uniform, without variation in colour, was a ground to refuse entry into a school or college" not if hijab was an ‘essential practice’.

@the_hindu "If something is egregiously religious, it is more likely to be kept out of the campus, if uniformity and eliminating any ‘sense of separateness’ are the hallowed goals."
thehindu.com/opinion/editor…

"The ‘essential religious practice’ test itself is a pointless exercise, as the Supreme Court has established a nearly unattainable standard to determine it. Something is an essential practice only if its absence or removal has the effect of destroying the religion itself"

Alright! Time for a controversial thread. Recently #KarnatakaHighCourt released its verdict about the #HijabBan & the status was the ban should persist. What does it really stand for?

I have an anecdote. I don't know which class, but I distinctly remember an illustrative depiction of a conversation between a Sikh & a common man.

Sikh wasn't wearing a helmet & the common man asked why? Wouldn't you be charged? Sikh said as he was wearing a turban, he could not be charged.

Muslim girls have been wearing hijab to school in several schools across the country for quite a while. It has hardly been an issue until now.Schools themselves did not think it created a conflict with the uniform. In fact in several schools the hijab was in the color of uniform

By raising this issue now the opportunity is created for Hindutva groups/Govt to force schools into taking a stand. This will further alienate the Muslim community and importantly, put their own girls in a difficult situation. Educating the Muslim women is the best chance we have

of solving issues of fundamentalism within the community and ensuring their greater social integration.Hatred should not be allowed to trump common sense.The choice of wearing a hijab must be left to Muslim girls,not her parents,not the State, not religious preachers. #HijabBan
