Kasaragod, Jul 7: A 10-year-old Muslim girl in Kerala’s Palakkad district was allegedly rusticated from a local madrasa after she was spotted with a sandalwood 'bindi' on her forehead. The girl was sporting the bindi as part of an acting assignment in a short film.
Slamming the madrasa for the action, the father of the girl said that they were fortunate she wasn’t stoned. The post by the girl's father, Ummar Malayil, has gone viral with thousands of likes and shares.
Ummar in his post wrote that the Class 5 girl was suspended despite her good performance in both curricular and extra-curricular activities.
"She always came first in school and madrasa… Despite her impeccable talents, she was suspended from the madrasa. The reason cited is shocking: she sported a sandal bindi,” he said in his post in Malayalam.
The action by the madrasa was reportedly taken after some locals questioned her 'bindi'. The issue gained steam after an angry outburst by the father on social media. Many social media users rallied behind Ummar for standing up against the madrassa.
