Uttara Kannada , Aug 18 (IANS): Parents as well as Hindu activists staged a protest against a private school in Uttara Kannada district on Thursday for reportedly asking students to remove rakhis tied during Raksha Bandhan.

The parents alleged that the management of Loyola School in Karwar told around 200 students to remove their rakhis. Later, Hindu organisations joined hands with the parents and staged a protest in front of the school.

The protesters demanded that the school management should apologise for its act of getting rakhis removed from the hands of the students.

Further details are awaited.

    This is a little too far fetched. If we continue to believe that "Raksha Bhandan" is only for a certain Community, then we are all sadly mistaken. I grew up following this beautiful tradition right through school, college and also my adult life. Even to the extent of receiving the Rakees through Post. We also have people of all communities practice this noble event of pledging ones care and support to a girl we respect and the girl expressing her respect to a boy. There is nothing wrong in this. I sincerely hope better sense prevails and we are able to use our God given discretion of learning what is right and what is wrong.

    Very good decision by the school. No display of religion should be allowed inside the school. Let the children learn what is equality and probably our next generation will live in harmony and with religious tolerance in Dakshina Kannada!

    I find Rakhi shouldnt trouble private school officials.Whereas in Muslim wear Hijab one cant see the person good .Hard to see her properly.Why now Rakhi is problem ?What explanation they want to give?Simply dont heat your head without knowing..Everyone must not wear or everyone doesnt wear Rakhi.simply making a rule every day ?Hindu activists are immediately rush there to make scene.First why cant clear it with school officials?

    Send your kids to Government school. There you can wear chaddi, shawl, Rakhi. And whatever as per your wish. If no private schools in India then imagine our education..

    Sorry parents, private schools are in the business of making money. They do not care about Rakhis or any other education of relevance you think is desirable. Make our kids run after marks, do not allow them to sleep. They should only see certificate, marks etc even in their dreams because they were born into your family which can afford tuition fees of private schools. Aaah...did you want true and holistic education by any chance?

    Talk about Hijab please. Show similar feelings towards modesty of women.

    You were the one who commented the most during hijab, no religious display was the rule which you wanted, parents know about the school before admission of their child in a private school and they know the cost to educate their children in the school even after knowing it's expensive. If you can't afford than don't send them to private school or ask bjp government to put a ceiling on the fees.
