What is the Hijab Controversy?

Under this, students will now have to wear uniform compulsorily in all government and private schools and colleges. Private schools can also choose a uniform of their own. Controversy started in January itself regarding this decision. The controversy stemmed from a government college in Udupi, where, despite the college administration’s refusal, six girl students had reached the college wearing hijab. After that controversy, a ruckus started in other colleges also regarding the hijab.
