Hijab protest for UP Elections

To what extent dress in schools and colleges can be a personal choice? And why should there be uniformity among the students?

Even the otherwise progressive, Malala Yousufzai seems immature to comment in the favor of pro-hijab stand, especially because, in her biography she has compared walking in burqa to “walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through” & feels himself to be fortunate enough to not wear one.

They hide behind, "We are Indian too" till it suits them. Then, they pick up arms, right behind us!

The simple fact that a student is saying Hijab is more important than education is a cause for alarm. The fact that the kid has been brainwashed into believing that knowledge is not important but some arcane rule about covering up is, it is the time we stand up and say enough.

The timing of the protest they chose, not so surprisingly, is just when seven states are going into assembly elections including Uttar Pradesh.
