In India, there is a ban on the wearing of headscarves in schools, especially in the classroom, which has sparked conflict. The hashtag #IndiaRacism also echoed on social media such as Twitter.
Several educational institutions in India have been shut down because of an uproar over the wearing of headscarves in schools that gained international attention after Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai raised the issue.
The Karnataka state government took the decision to close after Hindu student protests against Muslim women wearing headscarves in the classroom escalated and led to violence.
The video also went viral showing the school gates being closed to women wearing headscarves and causing public outrage.
Initially, six Muslim female students in Karnataka admitted that they were barred from attending classes for weeks because they wore the hijab. The school argued that the students were allowed to wear the hijab in the school environment, except in class.
Many netizens have also criticized what is happening in India with the hashtag #IndiaRacism. "Terrible, may Muslim brothers and sisters in India always be protected," said one netizen.
"We have seen what happened in India is a clear manifestation of discrimination against the rights of Muslims and deserves to be condemned," wrote another netizen.
"As fellow Muslims, let's defend our brothers and sisters. How sad to see insults against women just because of the hijab. Times are modern but these people are retarded in their minds," said the next netizen.
Many also shared on Twitter illustrations of Muskaan Khan, who inadvertently became the face of resistance for young Indian Muslim women.
Dressed in saffron shawls - a color associated with Hindu nationalist and Hindu religious groups, the men began chanting "Jai Shri Ram" or "Hail Lord Ram".
As they continued to mock him, Muskaan Khan, who was wearing a headscarf, remained standing and where he was - shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) in return. Not long after, the school authorities ushered him inside.
