Dance video of girls in hijab

A video of women students in hijab celebrating Onam at a school in the Wandoor area of Malappuram district of northern Kerala is going viral on social media.

In the video, some hijab-wearing girls of the Wandoor Government Girls Higher Secondary School, wearing sarees, dance along with other students to music as part of Onam celebrations.

Thousands are applauding it and some have even compared it with the hijab controversy that has rocked neighbouring Karnataka where girl students in hijab were prevented from attending school and writing their examinations. The Karnataka High Court had ruled that hijab is not “essential” to Islam, which could have implications across the entire nation. The court also upheld a state government directive that banned headscarves in schools, colleges, etc. This case is now in the Supreme Court and the Apex Court is hearing it currently.

A user tweeted that Wandoor Higher Secondary School in Malappuram hosts an Onam festival. Dedicated to the low-minded people who claim that Onam is a Hindu festival while it is a harvest festival to welcome Mahabali on the lone day he gets to visit Kerala.

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor was also among those who liked this tweet. Anil Kumar, a party colleague and MLA from Wandoor, posted the video on his Facebook page.

Ashok Swain, a Professor at Uppsala University, Sweden, tweeted that Muslim students in Kerala celebrate Onam while wearing hijab. The harvest celebration of the people of Kerala is called Onam. As the Hindu right has asserted, this is not exclusively a Hindu celebration. Additionally, thousands of people have liked this post.

As per Hindu mythology, the Vamana avatar of Vishnu came upon earth to rid it of Mahabali, an Asura king, who ruled Kerala. Present-day Kerala’s link with the Vaishnavite tradition grows even stronger with the next avatar, that of Parasurama, who is said to have thrown an axe into what is now known as the Arabian Sea, and created the landmass that became Kerala.

The video was posted on Instagram by user Ramez without any caption. It shows an auto rickshaw with a pipe, with one end inside the vehicle and the other extends outside. Text overlays on the video which reads Indians are brilliant.

The video was shared on March 16 on Instagram and it has got 609,782 views till now which are only increasing. Large number of social media users started commenting on the Instagram post where one person wrote India is not for beginners. One user said this fan works in the rain as well.

Another user said this innovation is doing the work of a table fan.  One Instagram user Shamoli recalled an incident when an auto rickshaw driver had installed a big piece of thermocol on the roof of the auto. She said when she asked the auto driver he replied that it was put inside the auto to provide insulation from the scorching sun.

One social media user said the auto driver can increase the effect of the DIY pipe by applying the Venturi effect. He suggested that the auto driver should decrease the size of the tube opening in the inside. He said this will cause the speed of air to increase as it goes through a construction, leading to a decrease in pressure and subsequently a drop in temperature as well.

One user Hiten thought that the pipe was being used as spittoon by the auto rickshaw driver. Another user joked that the man is using the pipe as a mike. He said the auto rickshaw driver yells at the people without much effort as the pipe amplifies his sound. One user joked that only high performance race cars have this feature.
