The Hijab row in India is heating up as Hindu students continue to oppose Muslim classmates wearing hijab on campus as Indian woman Muskan – who was surrounded by a Hindu extremist mob outside a college in India over wearing a hijab – has confronted Indian goons fearlessly and chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’.
The young Muslim student was hailed all over the world on social media platform. The student started chanting Allahu Akbar in reply to the Jai Shri Ram slogans being chanted by the mob. She did not fear and bravely strong replied to the goons. Soon after the incident, #AllahuAkbar started trending in Pakistan and India.
A video of a Muslim girl fighting against a Hindu extremist crowd went viral on social media. The young Muslim girl was on her way to college in Karnataka when Hindu-right students began heckling her. They also waved saffron blankets antagonizingly.

The girl first disregarded the throng, but the mob continued to yell anti-her insults. While the group appeared scary, the brave girl responded to their slogans with “Allahu Akbar.”
Speaking about the incident which happened in the Bangalore city of the Karnataka state, she said that she had come to the college for submitting an assignment. She added that she was not being allowed inside just because she was carrying the burqa but somehow made her way inside.
She said that she had been carrying the burqa and hijab, which is part of a Muslim girl, but when she used to go to class she would only carry the hijab.
The student added that the burqa was always part of them and even the principal had not raised any objections to it. She said that head protected me like other teachers.

She revealed that she is not the only student to have undergone such an experience. She claimed that five women, who were told to remove their hijab or else be sent back home, came crying to her.
Muskan said she feels safe as her friends from other religions along with police assured her safety. She added that their education is being ruined just for a “piece of cloth”.
On the other hand, Nobel laureate and education rights activist Malala Yousafzai, while speaking about the ongoing hijab row in India, stated on Saturday that the “objectification of women — for wearing less or more — persists.”
Malala, took to her Twitter and talked about the hijab controversy raging in India’s state Karnataka where Muslim students wearing the hijab are being barred from entering college premises.
Malala stated: “Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying.”
The activist spoke against the decision and urged Indian leaders to stop the “marginalisation of Muslim women”.
