MUSLIM DISCRIMINATION IN INDIA (Case Study: Community Response to the Ban on the Wear of the Hijab for Indian Muslim Women in Educational Environments)
Abstract
Discrimination against Muslims often occurs in various countries, including India. Though India is a country that ranks third in the world's largest Muslim population. In addition, India is also one of the most unsafe countries for women. Recently, news was heard that there was a decision from an Indian court that prohibits Muslim women from wearing the jilbab while in an educational environment, this of course reaps the pros and cons of both the Indian Muslim population and the international Muslim community. In this article, the author discusses discrimination that occurs against Muslims in India, especially Muslim women, which often occurs in India by taking a case study of the Prohibition of the Use of Jilbab for Indian Muslim Women in Educational Environments. This topic is interesting to discuss because discrimination is something that continues to happen and creates inequality in society. To analyze this issue, the author uses qualitative methods sourced from journals, articles, social media. The aim of writing this study analysis is, to discover out the background, emergence of decision, what is role of Indian government in this decision, and how the public responds to this issue.

This is extreme discrimination going on..Humiliation is just a word, what these Muslims going through right now is beyond that. [Tweet].

Arya. [Aryjaey]. (2022, February, 10). Muslim women do not only face discrimination in the western world but also India. The Karnataka state government, which is controlled by the extremist Hindu party BJP, banned Muslim students wearing hijab from entering educational institutions a few weeks ago. The extremist Hindu BJP party must be dissolved and muslims should be allowed to freely express their religion in peace. [Tweet].

Eemaih. [by_eemaih]. (2022, February, 11). It's horrible to see such hate and discrimination against Muslim females who wears #hijab and prevent them from accessing education in India. Forcing them to make a decision between hijab and their studies is horrifying. Stop your hate. [Tweet].
