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.

U.S. Federal Reserve revises economic forecasts downward, expecting growth slowdown and higher unemployment, but still plans rate cuts in 2024 and 2025.

At its latest meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve revised its economic forecasts downward, with growth trimmed, inflation nudged up, and unemployment expectations now higher.

Despite this gloomier outlook, the Fed still sees two rate cuts in 2025, but just one in 2024 and one in 2026, a major dial-back from earlier projections.
