Claim: Visuals showing girl students at a school in Tamil Nadu throwing their dupattas as protest against the patriarchal/North Indian school uniform.
Fact-check: No, these school girls in Tamil Nadu did not throw their dupattas as a sign of protest - FACTLY
Verdict: 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.
