Opinion | Secularism has been weaponised in Karnataka
Karnataka is being dealt fatal blows, as new wounds are being inflicted on a population already laid low not just by devastating medical and economic crises, but by the impatient haste with which the Hindu Rashtra is being birthed. The heightened war cries about the prohibition of hijab in the sarkari classroom, which has set the state aflame, are further signs of the new directions in which the state leaders are carrying out, with the zeal of new converts, the mandate of their masters in Delhi/Nagpur.
This moment, however, marks a new turn. Following the prohibition by college managements in coastal Karnataka (and now elsewhere as well) of the use of the hijab in classrooms by young women students, BJP leaders and ministers in particular have taken great pride in being the purveyors of “secularism” in the classroom
lfare department, the Chief Minister said soon self defence training would be provided to girl students in schools and colleges and police training schools will help impart it.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has announced a two-day mourning in honour of the doyen of Indian music and Bharat Ratna awardee Lata Mangeshkar, who passed away in Mumbai on Sunday. Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, former prime minister H D Deve Gowda and former chief ministers of the state joined millions of others to condole the demise of iconic playback singer.
