Schools and private institutions are an understood cases of religious symbol ban, because they have UNIFORMS.
But the same is not understood fact for India yet. The controversy is about a SCHOOL banning hijab and other religious symbols.
This is a manufactured OUTRAGE and happy to see so many contributing their bit to it.
Actually no, we don't have uniforms. The law isn't against any religion : it's about neutrality in school. You're not suppose to show your religious or political beliefs in schools to protect minors from any influence. The law doesn't apply to universities for example because we're dealing with adults who are free to exercise their freedom of religion.
From what I've seen, the ban targets college veiled women in India.
There is no comparison with the French case.
