Ban on Veils and Scarfs in a School in Kerala

Veils\Burkha\Parda


Scarf Worn to Cover the Head

A Few Days ago i came across an incident on the News Paper that a Private School in Kerala run by a Christian management banned the use of Veils and Scarfs by its students inside the campus. Such a move created high tension in the surrounding area and later next day IUML or NDF I don't remember which outfit either way one of them started vandalising the school property and called for a strike which led the School Management to ultimately remove the ban

My Views:

• The Banning in the First Place is Completely Unconstitutional under INDIAN Constitution.
• A case should have been filed against the management for trying to forcibly take away the freedom of religion and the freedom of choice of clothing guaranteed to each and every citizen by the Constitution of INDIA.
• However having said that, I think If this Incident had Happened in a European Country the Ban would have stayed there probably.

Terms Used:
Scarfs: In this context means clothing used to cover the head
IUML: Indian Union Muslim League
NDF: National Democratic Front
