School Denying Recognition to Top-Scoring Muslim Student

A Gujarat school's refusal to honor Muslim student Arnaz Banu, who topped Class X with 87%, sparks outcry. The incident, decried by rights activist Salil Tripathi, highlights concern about religious discrimination. Arnaz's family challenges the school's claim of her absence on the event day with CCTV evidence. The school pledges recognition on January 26th, insisting the initial event was a minor celebration. The incident renews calls for transparent evaluation and equal treatment in education.
