The following web site has been set up in support of Sarika, the 14 year old girl who has been excluded from school in South Wales for wearing the Kara, religious bangle.

Please support Sarika by visiting the web site and signing the online petition.
Aberdare Girls School in Wales has excluded the pupil for refusing to remove her Kara as it says it has a strict policy on jewellery which only allows pupils to wear a watch or stud earnings.
The Kara is a fundamental part of the Sikh religion. It is not a piece of jewellery, but it is an article of faith and expression of religious belief.
