Hijab demonstrations erupted in Karnataka in January and February this year, when some students at the Government Girls PU College in the state's Udupi district said they were prohibited from attending courses because they wore hijab.
Some students said they were denied admission to the college because they wore hijab during the rallies. The hijab protests in Karnataka quickly spread to other states, and the case was taken to the Supreme Court.
