The controversy over headscarves in Karnataka has intensified, with students defying the government order to use uniform clothing to maintain "unity and equality". Ahead of tomorrow's court hearing, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai appealed for peace. The controversy started last month at the Government Girls PU college in Udupi district after six students alleged that they had been barred from classes for wearing headscarf. Right-wing groups in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru objected to headscarves resulting in protests across the state. In retaliation, many students turned up in saffron scarves. In the latest development, Dalit students adopted blue scarves in support of hijab-wearing girls.
