Why "Hijab is our right" trend in India?

Islamabad, Jan 19: Hashtag "Hijab is our right" is trending in India so what actually this trend is and why. What is trending? A photo is circulating in Social media where a group of 06 girls is seen to sit outside the classroom wearing Hijab. What is actual issue? A government-run women's college in Udupi district in India's Karnataka state force Muslim girls to sit outside the classroom because they were wearing Hijab or headscarf. Despite regular attendance following the incident, the students have been marked absent from their classes since 31 December. While the principal of the collage is alleged the girls were defying the rules since Hijab is not part of the uniform. Does Indian law allow this? Indian constitution gives these right. 1- Right to Equality(Article 14-18) 2- Right to Freedom of Religion(Article 25-28) 3- Cultural, Educational Rights(Article 29-30) Then question arises Under which article Udupi college has Banned Hijab?
