In India, schools in the southern state of Karnataka have shut down as protests grow over a recent decision to ban hijabs and burqas in colleges.  

New Delhi, February 9 (RHC)-- In India, schools in the southern state of Karnataka have shut down as protests grow over a recent decision to ban hijabs and burqas in colleges.  

A social media video showing a hijab-wearing student being harassed at a college has further intensified the outrage over anti-Muslim persecution in Karnataka, whose local government is ruled by the right-wing Hindu nationalist BJ Party. 

Muslim students gathered in protest earlier this week.  One of the organizers of the protest told reporters: “We will enter the classroom wearing our hijabs.  We will not remove the hijabs until we receive an order from the High Court.”
