SC asks how discipline of schools is violated if Hijab is worn, here’s how Karnataka govt replied
New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India on Monday while hearing pleas against Karnataka High Court's judgment upholding the ban on Hijab in educational institutions asked the Karnataka government how wearing Hijab was violating discipline in schools.
Justice Dhulia while hearing the matter questioned the ASG when the latter said wearing Hijab was an issue of discipline in school.
“How the discipline of the school is violated if the hijab is worn?” Justice Dhulia asked.
Replying to the query from Justice Dhulia, the Advocate General of Karnataka replied that when students started protesting for Hijab other students wanted to wear bagwa shawls. He further added that a situation of unrest prevailed in the state following the developments.
“After some students started protesting for hijab, another set of students wanted to wear bagwa shawls. This led to a situation of unrest and in this backdrop, the Government Order was issued on Feb 5.” Advocate General of Karnataka said.
A bench, comprising Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia, is hearing the batch of petitions challenging the ban on wearing Hijab in educational institutions in Karnataka.

ISRO's analogue space mission kicks off at Leh
Bengaluru, Nov 1: ISRO on Friday said its analogue space mission has taken off at Leh in Ladakh, where it will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat as India prepares to send a human to the moon.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and supported by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.
The month-long mission, kicked off mid-October, comes in the wake of India's plans to set up lunar habitats, which could provide a base to launch inter-planetary missions.
The geographical features of Ladakh are considered to closely resemble Martian and lunar landscapes and are an ideal training ground for scientific missions aimed at exploring planets "India's first analog space mission kicks off in Leh...this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth," ISRO said in a post on X.
The team of AAKA Space Studio is testing environment suits and conducting geological studies in Leh's low-oxygen environment, simulating space-like conditions, studies that could be crucial for future space missions.
The team is also studying how the human body adapts to the harsh weather conditions in Ladakh that could be useful in understanding how astronauts could get used to space like conditions.
