Hijab Controversy from various perspectives

These students are now worried about who's wearing a hijab, and who's wearing orange. The division in the country has spread so deep, the news claims that in several schools and colleges in Karnataka hijab has been banned, due to which, many girls are not allowed to enter into colleges they're not allowed to study.

Maybe you've heard on the news about Tesla or Netflix or Amazon and how, if you'd invested 10 years ago in Tesla then you'd be a millionaire by now or things like that. But if you're new to the game, this whole investment thing can seem like a really complicated black box. Like, how do you even buy a stock? What even is a stock?
