India Supreme Court split on headscarf ban in classrooms
Muslim women in many parts of India protested against a Karnataka college decision to bar students from wearing hijabs
India's Supreme Court has failed to deliver a verdict on whether Muslim students can wear the hijab in schools and colleges, with two judges expressing opposing views.
One judge upheld a Karnataka high court order from March that said the hijab was not "essential" to Islam.
The other said the high court order was erroneous and wearing the hijab was a matter of choice.
