7th Rangers: Hijab not an essential practice of Islam, Karnataka HC dismisses all writ petitions filed by Muslim girl students seeking permission to wear it in colleges
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

therefore, all the petitions filed by Muslim girl students seeking
permission to wear hijab in educational institutions stands dismissed.The verdict was pronounced by the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court.
The court stated that taking a holistic view of the entire matter, they
formulated a few questions and answered accordingly to decide on the
case.
The questions were whether wearing a hijab is an essential
religious practice in the Islamic faith protected under Article 25 and
whether the prescription of a school uniform is violative of rights. The
court further sought an answer to a question that whether the
Government Order of February 5 apart from being incompetent and
manifestly arbitrary violates Articles 14 and 15.
The court found that wearing of hijab is not the essential religious
practice of the Islamic faith and the prescription of a uniform is a
reasonable restriction on fundamental rights. The court further stated
in the order that no case is made out for invalidating the Government
Order of February 5.The detailed order of the court is awaited.
