An Indian court has upheld a ban on wearing of the hijab in classrooms in one of its southern states

It’s a ruling that could set a precedent for the rest of the country, which has a big Muslim minority.

The state ban last month sparked protests by some Muslim students and parents, and counter-protests by Hindu students.

Critics of the ban say it is another way of marginalising a community that accounts for about 13-percent of India’s 1.35 billion people.

The court’s Chief Justice says wearing a hijab does not form a part of essential religious practice.

He said the government had the power to prescribe uniform guidelines, and dismissed various petitions challenging the order.

Donald Trump has once again stunned the world, this time brokering a historic peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria—with the backing of the United Nations. The move has many wondering whether the former U.S. president is reinventing himself as a global peacemaker.

Professor Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Trump managed to secure the deal and what role the UN played in formalizing the agreement. Morocco’s vow to protect Jewish communities and strengthen ties with Israel adds another layer to this surprising diplomatic twist.

As Trump’s influence on global affairs grows, experts are debating whether this marks a genuine shift in Middle Eastern relations—or just a calculated political play on the global stage.
