NEW DELHI, Apr 23: Uniformity in religion, language and dress code would not work in India as the nation is not for one particular community, JNU Vice Chancellor Santishree D Pandit has said.
In an interaction with PTI editors at the agency’s headquarters here, Pandit said educational institutions should respect individual choices and allow those wanting to wear a hijab to do so.
“I would not agree on uniformity in either religion, race or language. One language should not be imposed. If some people want to change it (official language) to Hindi in some states, they can. But in the south, it will be difficult… in east India, even in Maharashtra, I don’t think Hindi is acceptable,” she said.
