the modern dress exposing the female body too much in college campuss

I fully support that modern dress must be allowed to the girls in colleges or offices. First and foremost question is that if some body wish to show his curves, cleavage, umbilicus (belly) or further then nobody has the right to check her except her parents. But after 18 parents also loses that right legally. I am surprised why the boys are concerned about exposing dresses; rather they must be happy and enjoy the opportunity provided by such girls that too free of cost. These girls wish to expose and wish somebody to appreciate the dress. They are intelligent enough that the appreciation of exposing dress is in fact is the appreciation of their exposed body part because the dress is barely visible. Secondly, one hidden fact is the most beautiful girls do wear a covering dress but the so-so girls wear exposing dress just to make them noticed. Honestly speaking if god has not blessed someone a beautiful face but beautiful busts then what the option remains with that girl to be noticed. Modern democratic society must give equality. And boys should be happy and encourage the trend. Lastly, males who oppose such dresses do two harms: first they lose the opportunity to enjoy and they allow the girls to label the world as male's world.

Why would you always point out on women? What they should wear? What they should not wear?

Male-chauvinism shows on each and every one who opposes this. I am fine with a girl naked sun-bathing on a beach. I don't get erotic by looking at the girl naked. It is all in your mind and thought process and the way you are brought up. For all of you those who oppose to "what women should wear" should refer to  OSHO a bit.

I will always support wearing modern dress by women folk. If this will not happen how do we say that we are going ahead as an emergent nation.

Why should there be a rule only for "dress". So much of nonsense is going on in other parts of the society and nobody has time to be concerned about it but has time to decide what somebody else should "wear".? There is no rule that you should "look" at those exposing female body - who gave you that right to look? There is plenty of nudity outside the campus and nobody is bothered about it except to harass innocents inside a campus. Suppose, while I was walking on a street and I saw two people having ice-cream, can I fight with them saying that you exposed what you were eating and hence you should share it with me or else I have the right to fight? - double standards at its best - hipocrite Indians.

I love modern dresses. And I quite agree with Partha Biswal. The female form - IF in shape - is quite nice to look at. 

I've been told by quite a few truthful female friends that they like looking at guys. 

So why does everyone have a problem with looking? 

However, when it comes to education, there is a flip side to this issue. In college, both young men & women are at an age when they think that they know everything that is good for them.

One of their mistakes is underestimating the power of physical attraction. Pheremones are flying all around the place as it is and as if that's not enough, there are nice curvy women all around who you can quite CLEARLY see are nice & curvy. :)

In every success story that we hear, there is the common theme of FOCUS & CONCENTRATION. Without these, there is no success. 

I know of many young men and women, who got distracted by lust and wasted their time thereby scoring badly in the examinations.

As long as young people can keep themselves focused on the real goal i.e. success in life, and they can really manage themselves & their time, there is no issue. 

Why do  people have to dress provocatively? The only reason that I can find is to attract attention, now when unwanted attention comes to them they raise such a hue and cry. If you are modern you do not have to reveal it through your clothes just a condfident and positive outlook would do.

It is a personal choice so let the girls wear what they think it them best. Yes there are a lot of conservative people are there who they want modern dress for the girls but see he may be the father of a dozen boys/girls.

Thanks Sailesh for referral. Romita Iam in agreement with your point of view on the subject.

And to dear Vivek. N. Vishwakarma ji... Modernity is not about the kind of dresses someone wear it's about the state of mind so that people like you will see creativity instead of 'nudity' in the images of Ajanta Alora cave, so that people like you will see hunger on the bald body of peoples who are rarely meeting their two ends meal instead of taking advantage of their situation by forcing them into prostitution.

Kumar swamy ji so you want to say that hiding everything will lead us to development. It's not what they wearing it's about only that how youu look at them.  When a girl wears short dresses people like you just see the uncovered areas which are usually covered instead of looking the innocense or prettyness of their face. I am also very sure that at your young age  everytime you wanted to see them but now might be your kids have grown up you don't want to see them like this or being seeing theirself by others. Peoples like you will see dirtyness in the art of khajuraho instead of the creative work done by ancient painters. That's why our country is still like a hell to live for girls. SHAME TO YOU!!!!!

We can allow Modern Wears in campus but with limitations. Many colleges allow only Jeans and T-shirt not freaky fashion wear. Girls exposing her body parts because as she want to ba a center of attraction . She want everyone to notice her. In such a case, she spoils her friends too. Thats how these kind of issues came up. Such kind of people must be avdivecd properly.

Modern wear with strict limitations will satisfy both the sides

yea sure why not

hummmmmuuuuummmmmmmm ...............

I totally agree with Romita's views..

Its one's Outlook which defines one's attitude..

Well, can't speak for Romita but I am definitely going to feel what I feel. I will probably give her a look, appreciate her sense of fashion, maybe even hit on her if I am feeling like it. It's natural but for all of my feelings, should I impose a cross-nation ban on someone's personal freedom? How about I impose a ban on people for eating what they like? How about I come to you someday and tell you to stop driving the car that you drive because I don't like it? You see? Personal freedom!

I read this really funny t-shirt quote that sums up your collective attitudes. It goes, "Please ask your boobs to stop staring at my eyes". Now, don't go impose a ban on me for saying the 'B' word.

Nicely done, Romita. I am not too active on Toostep but if educated, "urban", broad-minded Indians supporting global growth, economies and businesses start talking about too much "skin", I am not sure I want to be too active here.

Like she says, look at people for what they are and if your sensibilities do not agree with someone's fashion sense, choose not to look at them. It is because you let someone "exposing themselves" affect you that you even bother talking about stuff like this. Also, there's a difference between lechering and appreciating, if you know what I mean.

Ask yourself this. In a free country that's been free for more than a 100 years now, do we really want to be policing society, like Muthalik did?

It's such a pity that despite being modern in many areas Indians still have that narrow mind. It may be the main reason for lagging behind in many areas. To be much straght forward, here is my opinion about the guys who are strongly supporting opposing the modern fashion wears, if they would have been born in those tribals of africa where they donot wear any dresses they could have felt uncomfortable even in front of mother.It shows their state of mind. The reason for being vulnerable to women who are modernly dressed is because those things which was hidden is now exposed. Human beings are always curious to only those things which is made hidden from them. So I think there should be more free society.

1. "Shame to indian culture"? those who site this reason, for them indian culture must be only less than a century old. If it was not for the concervative Brits Indians would never have felt so ashamed that they feel now.
2. Distract your concentration? Come on grow up, so when you see flesh in the work place ( where you are supposed to deliver 100%, a 40% passing doesn't exist over there), afterwards... what are you going to do? quit job or start a politikal rally?
3. "Colleges are not places for fashion"? If not at college where else would a boy or a girl discover his/her individuality? long haired boys or short skirt why should they not be allowed?
4. "Can people accept their mother/sister wearing such dress in public!" Our grandmother's or their grand mothers used to show more flesh. Showing midriff was not considered vulgar, but today i see people ogling at them. Poor people few decades back could hardly afford to have clothes to cover their bosom. So does that mean our forefathers where uncivilized (well the right word i want to use her is thrarki).
5. "GOING TO COLLEGE IS TO LEARN,GET A DEGREE..." So does that mean you should look ugly and unattractive? I believe every person has the right to look beautiful. There are enough laws to punish those who expose too much flesh. Why do we require more restriction than that has been acceptable in social life apart from college?
6. "I hate them.." Friends can you smell some jealousy ?
7. "spoil society..." Are you suggesting that in order to hide the immorality of men, girls should be declared immoral if they show flesh? My opinion is that we should not restrain mens eyes from seeing flesh. The more the restrain, more the revolt.
8. "more sex in college..." People have sex, no matter if they show more flesh or no flesh publicly.

***

the above expressed views are my opinion, and i could be wrong.

I wish every body could have been beautiful

:),

But that would make no body beautiful

:(.

Guys, being an artist i had been in close proximity with female and male nudity. So my views are very different from normal people.

I like modern and comfortable also fashionable dress but within limits i.e. not too much exposure. Some dresses without actually exposing 'expose' the complete shape which is also not good.

The rule of nature is "If you have it, falunt it - while you can"

Hpwever, there are other social and community rules applicable in whatever one do:  In my vernacular it isays: "Enne nokku, ninne nokku, neram nokku, nila nokku" I means: Look at self, look at others, llok at the time / sourroundings, position and situation"

In short there is a place, occassion, situation and time for everything, adhered to these, there will be harmony.

"

Let me begin by saying I do NOT support this argument...exactly.  But I do NOT strongly oppose the other either.  In my opinion, the type or style of clothes worn by women today...or even men for that matter...is but symptomatic of much larger and broader issues at play in Indian society.  Traditional Indian culture is in a state flux...and actually has been for several hundred years, ever since it first allowed Western Europeans to invade its shores...and yet even more recently with it being a principal recipient of Western industrial outsourcing and a major player in the game of international globalization.  Women, in general, and "modern" women, in particular, are not to blame for this phenomenon as it relates to dress style and fashion.  They are simply part of this cultural flux and certainly should not be victimized...least of all by traditional-minded men...because they are caught up in the same phenomenon.

This is going to be a difficult process for India, mainly because its so-called "culture" is so diverse.  There are already many "correct" and "acceptable" ways to dress, cook, worship, live, work, behave and act in India.  These different "ways" may not always like or necessarily approve of some of the other "ways", but over time they have grown accustomed to and more tolerant of one another.

Regardless, an on-going national debate of this phenomenon is healthy...and should be encouraged...certainly a discussion that is civil, mutually respectful and inherently tolerant, so as to avoid the hostility and even violence that have taken over this same debate in the Middle East.

India is at a watershed moment and needs to decide whether it is going to approach the matter in a conflictive or reasonable manner.       

i support you mam, it's the mind which thought things in wrong perspective and if people thought positively then no way can one think of vulgarism.  

Jyoti this is happening since the cultur is changing and we are following western culture. I think this will remain for some time and then the regular dress code will come back.

i am not against of it nor even favour of it,girls and boys should wear watever they wanna wear,come on guys and girls its modern society ,its 21st century,now india has got freedom but not yet got freedom frm rules ........and boundry...........but yes people should also know their limit for example girls,should wear watever they want to wear ,but their is a place........the dress should looks nice ,pretty ..........nt the one which looks cheap...

Hi,

Great debate, enjoying...........

I don`t want to support this side but the debate has been removed from college campus to as a whole subject. I 100% agree with Akshyata, Sheetal and morely convinced with Vipin.

Every body has the right to wear less/more or not to wear if felt conforted. If we can watch adultaery in the family through television why not be prepared to watch live and enjoy.

The person who wear must felt confortable at every stages of public gathering and also should not comment on Indian publics or males who stares. Be ready to enjoy guy`s.

One thing - I must personally feel, while on college campus/office or anywhere - dress codes must be maintained.

If not maintained then the Guy`s should stop wearing suits and must reach in half pants and sleeve less shirts for the sake of comforts.

One thing more - Half pants will saves the cost too.
