Udupi: Give up on Hijab or attend classes online - MLA Raghupati Bhat


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi(HB/DRD)

Udupi Jan, 26: The Hijab row in city's Government Girl's Pre University College has taken a googly with MLA Raghupati Bhat coming up with the idea of online classes for the students seeking to stick to their religious practice.

"We will request the six students and their parents to desist from wearing Hijab to the classrooms. If they do not agree they attend the classes online and take their examinations, " Raghupati Bhat, also chairman of the School Development Committee said.

Addressing the media on Wednesday, January 26, he said, "Some vested interests are creating an issue. It is not right on the part of the parents to ruin their children's future. Discipline is mandatory in an educational institute. Parents must understand this and al their children to follow the uniform code..We are not going to budge from our stand under any circumstance."

The MLA disclosed that following the status quo order by the government in terms of wearing scarfs, a meeting was chaired by retired police official G A Bawa with the Muslim leaders. The decision was taken after the meeting, he added.

He further said, "If we yield to their demands here, this will begin in every other college. And then, in retaliation to this, saffron shawls and turbans will make it to the campus. We have requested the community leaders to ensure that the harmony is not disrupted in the district. They have assured to hold a dialogue with the the parents of the six students and revert to me in tow days."

"The college principal will call the parents and request them to retract their stand on Hijab. Earlier, the agitating students have attended the classes without Hijab for a good one and a half years. It's just a matter of another one month. The classes will get over and examinations will be held. if the parents are die hard on their Hijab decision they may consider attending the classes online. We will allow them to write the examination. Next year they can take admission in any other college of their choice but under no circumstance we will allow them inside the classroom with Hijab," Raghupati Bhat reiterated.

    If you want to wear hijab go to madrasa school, also if you want to wear saffron shawl go to RSS shakas. There are millions of kinds are willing study but they don't have choice due to poverty.

    There are many Christian schools where girls are not allowed to wear bangles or flowers. No one complains. Everyone follow the rules of the school because uniformity in schools gives you a feel of equality and oneness at young age. Even during rakshabandhan, we were allowed to wear the rakshe, but were asked to remove on the next day and we obliged without any protest. I had so many muslim girls as classmates, no one used to wear a hijab. Even in the university, my classmates used to remove the burkha as soon as they reach the campus.

    Exactly, when we were in school, not girls wore hihab and no boys wore the cap. This can lead to a lot of malpractice as young boys and girls can go out of the way when they are controlled by the parents. This kind of ban is good for the children and parents. In this case, I will agree with Raghupati Bhat, but he has to put the statement in order and politely. Let good sense prevail.

    Even during my college days (early 1980s when Indira Gandhi was PM) girls didn’t wear hijab or burkha, nor were there any aggressive demands from parents or students of those days. As I had said earlier these controversies started with the emergence of fanatical fringe organizations after 2000. Similar display of attire was also made in St. Agnes College a few years ago but was promptly turned down.

    The Govt in the center and state has nothing better to do for the welfare of the people. We voted them for the second term, based on their manifesto but they have forgotten all their promises are now busy with changing the age old practices, cultures, sentiments of common people. Where is their conscience, what pleasure do they derive, power, pride and arrogance will lead to their downfall. If only they had directed their energy and focus towards building the nation, they could be sure of winning another term.

    Nation Wants To know from narrow minded minister ; Why the trend of saraswathi pooja ganapathi pooja, sharada pooja still under practice at school premises . Why surya namsaker being made routine despite the religion of the students belong to ther faith doesnt allow. Why the girl students, teachers wear forehead kum kum, why the martied women wear managalasutra, why the colorful threads are being tied around the wrists including raksha bhandan threads. The list is big

    When Sikhs are allowed to wear big turban as per their religious belief in police, army, navy, schools, colleges, workplace and they even are not required to wear helmet when riding bikes. If the constitution is given that freedom, then why suddenly this college and BJP backing behaves and spits communism and fascism for their political agenda. If for so many years hijab was allowed then why this political drama by BJP.

    The MLA said, "If we yield to their demands here, this will begin in every other college. And then, in retaliation to this, saffron shawls and turbans will make it to the campus.' The girls who where Hijab not stop and wear it 365 days too, but how long you will wear shawls and turbans ?. You need dedication, do you have it ? . The people who oppose Hijab are insane, it is a shawl that covers the girls head. At one point they say girls should dress up well with cover the whole body And the same people have a sick thought if the girl is covering the head. I do not support any religion here, I support the right and previlge of a girl to cover her head.

    Hijab is an excuse. Their goal is to destroy the education of these Muslim girls. These girls are only asking to cover their hair. Principle, instead of destroying their education in the middle of the year. you should start the new dress code policy in the beginning of next year. Next year they can go to another college were they are respected.. When we destroy somebody else's daughters or sons life. Our own daughters and sons life will be destroyed. May Karma catch up with all involved in destroying these young girls future..

    There is a limit for everything , we didn’t had any issues when we were studying . Why all these drama now. Is anyone will stop Sikhs wearing turban? What these ruling party reps talking about? They don’t allow celebrate western culture neither they are allowing to practice individual religion. They should understand that keeping hair visible is not permissible in Islam . By covering the hair I don’t know what harms others?

    Readers, this entire crazy crap of wearing your religious identity up your sleeve, in public is highly deplorable and regrettable... Educational institutions is a hallowed place, where students receive knowledge.. this is not an arena to showcase your religious morality.. Immigrants in the west are annoyed and are summarily clamping down on these medieval bigots, who deliberately provoke locals and insult their way of life !!!

    @ H. Almeida, I think you are not a convent student where the teachers( so called sisters) proudly show their religious morality. According to you, they should not do that in hallowed educational institutions? Why are you bringing the issue of immigrants here in this case? Are these students immigrants?

    If online studies are imposed on Muslim girls from home then they will wear burqa covering the full face. Any one can study and appear for exams as proxy to get ranks with high marks. How the authorities will cross check the identity if face is never revealed since it is online studies.
