The Karnataka government has rolled back its controversial 2022 order that barred hijab-donning girls from entering classrooms in schools and pre-university colleges. This decision, a manifesto promise of the ruling Congress party, reverses a policy that had led to widespread protests and legal challenges, reaching both the Karnataka High Court and the Supreme Court.
