Indian Colleges Ban Jeans to Protect Girls: We should follow
Islam online has reported quoting western news agencies from Lucknow , India that trying to halt increasing sexual harassments, four colleges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh on June 10, banned female students from wearing jeans and other Western-style clothes on campus (http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout&cid=1243825245853). "This is the only way to stop crime against women," Meeta Jamal, principal of the Dayanand girls' college in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur city.Three more colleges affiliated with the Kanpur University will be included in the Jeans ban. University officials said that the decision came as sexual harassment for girls, known in India as "Eve-teasing", has been increasing recently.Students wearing jeans, tight blouses and miniskirts received the highest share of those attacks. "When the college gets over, boys literally throng the gates," principal Jamal said."They often indulge in uncouth behavior, particularly with those girls wearing body-hugging jeans."It's a routine affair here."After receiving several complaints of eve-teasing just outside the college gate, the university felt the need to take a swift action. "We decided to ban students from wearing jeans on campus."
We have been writing before that one of the reasons for sexual harassment is provocative dress. Dress was always proper rill the advent of modernism in our areas. Even in the West dress was not so provocative till the end of nineteenth century. Secularization in the twentieth century has brought all sorts of immorality including revealing dress .We are not sure what the college authorities mean by Jeans. In any event it is appropriate to ban short skirt or half pant, short Kameez, tight dress,sleeveless blouse or kameez, revealing dress and also prescribe proper Urna.Half pants, tight dress for boys also should be banned. West has spoiled the world in the name of limitless freedom. This worship of freedom is valueless if it leads to pornography, prostitution, eve-teasing or other crimes.
