Is the hijab allowed on army uniform?

It’s a public institution. So let’s see how the arguments about personal liberties and religious freedom pan out vis a vis the idea of school rules and regulations being paramount.

The essence of uniform is to make all the nursing students appear similar without fair or favours.
The introduction of religious garbs already defeat this purpose.
The school could as well ask everyone to come in whatever clothes they like.





Religious students that want to wear religious garbs can wear them after closing time.
