We examined Twitter messaging related to the Hijab Ban.

TL;DR

Most engagement is anti-Ban, but loudest influencers are pro-Ban

Most people with opinions on the issue are male

Most major politicians, incl those claiming secular credentials, dodged the issue, ex Gandhis

1/n
The most engaged accounts are influencers on the right who lean pro-ban. However, the overall Twitter engagement is 5x higher on the anti-ban side.

This suggests an influencer-driven strategy for the pro-ban side.
Second, we see the timeline of engagement. The first peak was the Bhandarkar/Hegde college incidents & Rahul Gandhi's tweet.

The biggest spikes in Twitter activity come after the surrounding of the Hijab-wearing girls by classmates, and the Muskan Khan defiance incident.
