In a move that can reignite the intense debate over hijab on campus, seven medicine students at a Kerala college have written to the principal, suggesting how they can strike a balance between following hijab norms and performing surgical duties. The students, who are pursuing the MBBS course at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, have said in their letter to the college authorities that according to their religious beliefs, "wearing hijab is mandatory for Muslim women under all circumstances".
