Hijab fire has now spread to different parts of the country. In some places against the use of the hijab by Muslim girls in educational institutions, while in others to extend support to the Muslim girls who are not being allowed to attend college while wearing it. Protests to support the right of Muslim girls to wear the hijab have also taken place in other states of the country. The controversy over hijab in Karnataka began on January 1, 2022, when Muslim schoolgirls at Udupi Women's Pre-University college were not allowed to enter as they were wearing hijabs. Since then, multiple incidents have taken place all over Karnataka where Muslim girls have come to classes wearing hijabs and Hindu students began wearing saffron shawls as a sign of protest.
