Hundreds of Muslim protesters, many women wearing face coverings, rallied in the city of Chittoor on Saturday to decry a college ban on hijabs in the southern Indian state of Karnataka.

Organised by Chittoor’s mosque committees, the demonstrators marched through the city in Andhra Pradesh state, walking from Sheshapeeran Mosque to the central Gandhi Statue. Many of the women taking part were dressed in burkas and hijabs and carryed banners and placards reading “Hijab is our right”.

The ban on the hijab in colleges in Karnataka has sparked anger among Muslims in India and around the world amid growing concerns over alleged Hindu supremacist attacks on Muslim symbols and practices in India that they consider are either sanctioned or ignored by the state.
