Aroosa Parvaiz, who topped the J&K Board's class 12 exam this year, was mocked on social media after a photo of her without a hijab (headscarf) was circulated on social media. On February 8, the results were announced. She was interviewed without a hijab after she topped the board test with a score of 499 out of 500. On social media, her posts drew a barrage of criticism.
Aroosa received comments like: According to screenshots uploaded by local media platforms, Aroosa received comments like: "Our sisters in Kashmir submit images without covering their faces, while Muslim females in Karnataka battle for hijab. It is not permitted." Because she did not cover her head, some hateful comments demanded for her beheading.
Aroosa has spoken up about how the trolling has affected her family. "Whether one wears or does not wear the hijab has no bearing on one's religious beliefs. Perhaps I have a greater love for Allah than them (trolls). Local media have cited her as saying, "I'm a Muslim by heart, not by hijab."
The event has added gasoline to the ongoing hijab debate in Karnataka, where students are fighting for their right to wear the hijab in the classroom. Aroosa Parvaiz, according to Karnataka BJP leader CT Ravi, is the face of courage.
With polarising views from politicians and professionals, the Karnataka hijab row has developed as a social faultline. The Karnataka high court has issued an interim order prohibiting students from wearing religious garb (both hijab and saffron shawl) while the case is being heard. To minimise unrest, the administration has also closed educational institutions until the final judgement is issued. The proponents of hijab rights argue that the right to wear it is granted by the Constitution, while opponents argue that religion should be kept out of schools, especially when they have uniforms.
