Sir, wearing a tilak in school is not illegal, as the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has clarified that schools cannot punish or scold children for wearing a tilak. You have the fundamental right to freedom of religion, which includes the right to wear a tilak. For further legal assistance, please contact us on our helpline number.
