Despite the rulebook allowing girls to wear hijab to classes, a private college in Kundapur of Udupi district in Karnataka has barred entry to them over the issue. On February 4, the authorities at the Bhandarkars' Arts and Science College made the decision after protests from boys in the college who wore saffron shawls to classes.

Al-rifa, a student from Bhandarkars' College, told TNM that the college authorities communicated the decision to them on the morning of February 4. "The calendar book given at the start of the year says we are permitted to wear the hijab. Suddenly, the college announced today that the hijab is not permitted. The college authorities said that there was a protest by boys who wanted to wear saffron shawls," Al-rifa says.

TNM accessed a copy of the calendar book that states: "Girl students are permitted to wear the scarf in the campus. However, the colour of the scarf should be that of their dupatta. No student is allowed to wear any other cloth inside the campus including in the college canteen."

The move to ban the hijab on campus comes a day after a government college in Kundapur closed the gates on students wearing the headscarf. Another private college in Kundapur, Dr BB Hegde First Grade College, has also barred entry to students wearing the hijab following boys on campus taking to wearing saffron shawls to classes.

On February 4, the students of Bhandarkars' College sat outside the gates in protest. "There are 60-65 Muslim girls in the college and almost all of us are protesting this decision. What about our education?" Al-rifa asks.

College principal Narayana Shetty, addressing the students outside the college, said that he decided to bar the students after he received reports of the possibility of unrest in the college. "There was no issue in the college till Wednesday evening. I received messages yesterday. According to the messages I received, there was a possibility of unrest in the college and the principal had to maintain the peace. I had to act on the instructions from the government. There was a possibility of 200 students wearing the saffron shawl inside the college, so we have been told not to allow any religious symbols," the principal said.
