If Muslim Girls in all Conscience Believe Hijab is Integral to Their Faith Judges Should Accept it’ Sanjay Hedge - https://youtu.be/3gk3nxwsTpM?t=90 Feb 11, 2022
The lawyer for the muslim girls from the Udupi Pre-University College who have petitioned the Karnataka High Court, says
1. that the right of a muslim women to wear hijab is a fundamental right .
2. If the State or a School authority prohibits hijab under it legal right to have a uniform, then this can be subject to the courts testing the fundamental right with the need for a uniform in a school and whether not wearing the hijab is an intergral part of the uniform, especially when there is no such bar against a "duppata"
3. that if someone in all conscience believes something is integral to their faith then judges must accept that. Sanjay Hegde made this point when asked if the Karnataka hijab controversy were to go to the Supreme Court and judges were to apply the Shirur Mutt judgement of 1954, which ruled that religion covers all beliefs and practices “integral” to a religion, how would they decide whether the hijab is integral to Islam or not? In some muslim countries like Kosovo, Azerbaijan, Tunisia and to some extent Turkey the hijab is banned in schools, universities and government buildings. In other muslim countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Brunei, Maldives and Somalia it’s optional not mandatory. However, in muslim countries like Iran and Afghanistan the hijab is required by law.
Perhaps if the same rules is made for a minority institution, which has been right o establish schools of their choice, the court may have do a balancing act between the interests of the minority institution and the fundamental right.
Candid insights by Muslim women on the Hijab, Hindutva & the churn within Muslims | Enquiry with Shoma Chaudhury https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4NQeu_mb0E Feb 11, 2022

Hijab. And Hindutva. The uniform controversy in Karnataka raises many disturbing issues: Majoritarian bullying. Partisan government action. Right to education. And freedom to practice one’s religion.
But there are other tricky questions too. What does the Hijab mean for Muslim women? Is wearing it an act of political defiance, personal choice, or patriarchal compulsion? Is Hindutva politics forcing one to defend Muslim conservatism? What is the churn within the Muslim community itself?
Candid. Courageous. Forthright. Three Muslim women share insights: joins in.

The February 5 order of Government of Karnataka banning wearing of Hijab and High court interim order restraining wearing of any form of religious attire has brought to fore the Hijab issue. While the BJP may try to show itself in progressive and modernity light, there are 3 M’s behind the move of Government of Karnataka. Karnataka has emerged as a Hindutva lab where Hindutva experimentation is being carried out like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. These 3 M’s are Minority subjugation, Majority domination and Muslim isolation.

BJP accuses Congress of taking the attention away from the hijab row
“The Congress was trying to change the religious politics of the region to vote based on caste. They knew that if the Billva and Mogaveera (a large vote bank in the region) voted based on caste instead of coming together under the banner of Hindutva, it would help the chances of the Congress. But the hijab controversy has changed the situation to Hindu versus Muslim,” pointed out a professor at Mangalore University, who didn’t want to be named.
Meanwhile, Karnataka politicians flout rules at multiple levels. Read more here: http://emeets.lnwr.in/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&task=article.edit&id=2001
