The row over the hijab erupted in January when Muslim schoolgirls in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru began attending classes wearing the head scarf. In protest, the Hindu students came to school wearing saffron scarves around their neck.
Gradually, the issue spread to other parts of the state where Muslim girls demanded permission to attend classes wearing head scarves.
