The Karnataka government has withdrawn the 2022 order issued by the previous BJP government that prohibited wearing hijab in educational institutions. The new order by the Siddaramaiah government allows students to wear limited traditional or faith-based symbols such as headscarves (hijab), turbans, rudraksha, and sacred threads along with the prescribed uniform. The government emphasized that such practices should not hinder discipline or student identification. It also directed schools to follow Basavanna's inclusive philosophy of 'Iva Nammava' to ensure no student is denied education due to traditional attire. https://www.varthabharati.in/state/karnataka-withdraws-2022-uniform-order-2246288 #creator program
