evidence: This incident took place at the government residential school in Tamil Nadu’s Kallakurichi. These girls in Tamil Nadu threw their dupattas welcoming a guest, Geeta Ilangovan, an author, who was supposed to address them. Multiple news agencies reported the incident. Speaking to Quint, Ilangovan said ‘the girls told her that they didn’t like to wear dupattas but were forced to’. However, neither the author nor the media reports claimed that students did so, as protest against the North Indian style. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
