The Karnataka High Court has recently issued notices to the state government and Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging the forced removal of sacred threads, known as Janivara, at Common Entrance Test (CET) exam centers in Bidar, Shivamogga, and Dharwad. The petitioner, Akhila Karnataka Brahmana Mahasabha, has claimed that students were mistreated during the math exam and were denied entry to the centers if they refused to remove their sacred threads. This incident has sparked outrage among the Brahmin community in Karnataka. The High Court’s intervention in this matter highlights the importance of upholding religious beliefs and practices while conducting examinations. The state government and KEA have been asked to respond to the allegations, and further actions are awaited in this case. This development underscores the need for sensitivity and respect towards diverse cultural and religious traditions, especially in educational institutions. Stay tuned for more updates on this issue as the case unfolds in the Karnataka High Court.
