In its verdict on the hijab controversy, the Karnataka High Court said that freedom of religion is subject to restrictions in India and it's not like in US or Australia, where it is defined in absolute terms. "Whichever be the religion, whatever is stated in the scriptures, does not become per se mandatory in a wholesale way," the court said.
