A shame

Very easy to brand any thalibanic measure as "protection of decency" and seek excuse for indulging in degenerating hippocratic behaviour! :twisted: :twisted:

Talibanism is nothing but "enforcement" of their believes on others. Its the "enforcement" part that I have problem with.

I do agree that "Indecency" needs to controled when it becomes a "public nuicense". But what we are increasingly seeing is the "enforcement" of the whims and will of some people on others.

we can only lead the animal to the pond, but can't make it drink. :shock: Hypocrisy, my foot! :evil: This is like pouring water on duck's back :twisted:

Discipline must be enforced, then cajoling come next. Decency, human decency must be maintained at all costs.

Again not enforced but "nurtured". Regulations have only destroyed civilizations.

Sandeep, :clap: :thumbsup:

My Sen's worth, Pava : You're absolutely right abt decent dressing, Pa! But I beg to differ that only the saree and salwar kameez is considered decent enough. Just because girls have chosen to wear simple t-shirts and jeans, it is no cause for a ban. It sounds ludicrous in this day and age.

In my younger days in primary schools, long before Muslim teachers resorted to covering up from top to toe as they do now, I had teachers of different races, who wore their own choices. Unfortunately, this freedom of choice was not always for the best. While most teachers had usually turned out in their conservative best, there were those who chose to turn up in their micro-minis!!

There were low-cut decolletege tops and skirts that rod up their ample rumps, leaving us girls a good look into the day's choice of undergarments by our teachers!! These were teachers who chose Western styled dresses and skirts of course!! But of the Indian teachers, who chose the saree????? While most were well covered up, we had a number who delighted us to peek into their cholis and navels!!

In conclusion???? - Conservative dressing can be found in both Western as well as Eastern styles. I believe the University admin. has to sit down and spell out their guidelines clearly, without turning it into a East Vs West, bash! Or in this case, insisting only the saree and churidars as the only choice!!

Niro: Why would you be delighted to peek into women teacher's cholis, navels etc etc????

:shock:

I had always thought you were a woman!! Don't tell me I had been mistaken all these days!!

Sari gets its dignity from its wearer's sense of propriety. Bollywood girls wear it, People like Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi also wear it. The same sari definitely gets different tones in both instances. When an educational institution which has the main duty of shaping a student's personality into a dignified, educated, accountable citizen could not have Bollywood style in mind; only the decent sort known to our mothers & grandmothers. Provocative tops & jeans with 'superb' slogans cannot but be signs of perversity & waywardness. A college campus need not be the playground for such "adventures". Don't tell me there is no way to be jouthfully happy without resorting to debauchery. :twisted: What respect gets the professor when the brats exchange pornographic matters on cellphones across the desks? What is he paid for? To teach a batch of eager students or to preach to a bunch of rogues? There must be a lot of innocent, serious-minded aspiring students being disturbed by the raucous, spoilt brats who are the blacksheep among them.All modern inventions like cellphones & internet are all abused beyond imagination bringing woe to the welfare of future generations. :cry: Challenging the powers to be to stop the utterly obscene, vulgar, tasteless stuff reeled by the silver screen? :roll: :twisted: All my support to an attempt to clean up the college campuses of utter trash, rubbish & rot. :thumbsup:

Oh, Badri!! :lol: We were primary school kids, Pa!! On the verge of adoloscence too!! What were we suppose to do, when Miss So and So, was putting on a show for our benefit???? It was the days, when a slight show of the underslip received, "Hey, your Monday is longer than Sunday" talk!!!!

Yup, am a woman, hear me roar!! (helen reddy, Pa!!) :wink:

Precosity, it is to be noted, is remarkably a very prominent 'attribute' of today's kids :(
