The Turban of Sikhs in France & the Hijab of Muslim girls in Karnataka

The agitation against students wearing hijab is unlawful and contains all the potentials of peace time genocide causing serious mental harm.

Reasonable and mature Indian citizenry should not brook this nonsense. It is their duty towards mankind to expose the duplicity of those who instigate this kind of agitation against Muslim girls and ensure that the nation remains civilised. 

If 'Hindu' children can wear 'janue' and other symbols in their forehead, there is nothing to bar the Muslim girls wearing hijab. 

The government of India which worked so hard from 2011 to 2016 to prevail upon France to permit Sikhs there to wear turban in public in that alien land, should intervene in Karnataka and enable the Muslim girls to wear the dress of their choice in their own land.

“Genocide was distinguished not only because of its collective target but also because of its multifaceted character. It was a comprehensive and systematic undertaking. As Lemkin put it, “Genocide is effected through a synchronized attack on different aspects of life of the captive peoples.” He enumerated the "techniques fo genocide" in eight "fields", political, social, cultural, economic, biological, physical, religious and moral. In the cultural field, he mentioned, among other steps, “prohibiting or destroying cultural institutions and cultural activities; by substituting vocational education for education in the liberal arts, in order to prevent humanistic thinking, which the occupant considers dangerous because it pro- motes national thinking.” - Page 18 - Cultural Genocide and the Protection of Cultural Heritage - Edward C.
