Public Release of ‘Impact of Hijab Ban in Karnataka’s Educational Institutions: An Interim Study Report’ by People’s Union for Civil Liberties – Karnataka (PUCL – K)

In December, 2021, the Government PU College in Udupi, Karnataka prohibited six girls from attending classes after they came to the institution wearing the hijab. Similar restrictions began to be placed in other institutions in various districts and the issue soon escalated across college campuses in the state even as widespread violence followed. The Karnataka State Government issued an order on 05.02.2022 justifying restrictions on wearing head scarves in educational institutions arguing that it is not violative of the right to religious freedom under Article 25 of the Constitution. Shortly after, the Karnataka High Court on 10.02.2022 directed universities to be re-opened and restricted ‘all students regardless of their faith from wearing saffron shawls, scarfs, hijab, religious flags or the like within the classroom, until further orders.’ On 15th March, 2022, the Karnataka High Court upheld the restriction on hijab in educational institutions in Resham vs State of Karnataka.
