Keep it confined to the house Do not bring religion to academy.

Since 2014, India has attacked Muslims,"he says. What's passing in Karnataka moment is just one link in the chain We've banned Muslims from soliciting in certain places for some times now.
They shouldn't vend eggs and meat along the way. Do not wear your hijab in council or academy.
Since 2014, the Indian government has told Muslims in India that you aren't a true Indian This is what Muslims are feeling. That's why these girls are wearing their hijab. The question isn't about hijab The question is how India treats its nonages and its Muslims.
On Indian Television channels, the issue of hijab has been attributed to religious unreasonableness, the Wahhabi movement, transnational terrorism and the movement of revolutionist associations.
