No Hijab, Jeans, "Revealing Dress": Mumbai College's Dress Code Notice Sparks Controversy

Mumbai's Acharya Marathe made headlines this week - not for high cut-offs but for a notice. A notice that lists down what not to wear on campus. This includes hijab, “revealing dresses” and even jeans! And the notice ends with a line “discipline in education is the key to success”. Some students allege they’re being treated unfairly and question the need to equate attire with their education. Some even protested against the move. The institute says the dress code is to inculcate discipline in students and that they want to prepare them for the corporate world.
Senior Correspondent Shubham Chohan brings you the full story.

[@Nyebyo2332]

Why banning jeans thats not revealing and jeans is not some kind of cloth that is indisciplinary its normal wear. Most of these dress codes I have seen specially restrict women from wearing their choice of clothes even if women wear normal unrevealing clothes still there will be perverts looking at them in India specifically. In many educational institutions Men are allowed to wear Shirts, Tshirts, Trousers but women have to wear sharee or other traditional outfit

[@Vandemataram83]

I was waiting for this because you notice these are all dress codes on women. When women didnt speak for women on noqab and burqha I knew the next will be jeans for women and their choice of clothes. Women now if you dont stand up for that you decide to wear what you want to wear and not some other Man they will continue to do this for all women. It will start with one women and then it will be jeans, tops.

[@aniltuli5860]

The traditional attire of Indians be they of any religious faith... ever since time immemorial was/has always been the dhoti and kammez ... which slowly went out of fashion after our country became free from the crutches of the British... _Our lawmakers particularly the male ones before imposing any dress code on college students...should themselves set an example by wearing dhotis and kammez inside the house and at all places where they appear publicly..._ 🙏

[@janami-dharmam]

kammez is a muslim dress; the traditional top for Indians was chaddar for men and for women the same sari served both bottom and top.

[@AMz-be7fj]

Traditional attire of brahmins, thakurs and baniyas. For Men : dhoti, no shirt, just a gamcha. For women : just a dhoti wrapped around the waist. No top, should be bare breasted. Will have to pat breast tax if want to cover their breasts.

[@animsaurabh]

[@yashagrawal88]

A dress code in colleges is justified, but it should be reasonable. To be specific, there should be no restriction on decent informal clothes, stoles, headresses, hijabs, caps, etc.. There should be no colour code. Just revealing clothes should be prohibited.

[@Nyebyo2332]

What's revealing and whats not the standard depends upon some tharki uncles and some judgy aunties that's the problem

[@goofychameleon]

Revealing dress toh rasa-sa-sa bhi pehente hai, toh colleges mein yeh kyu ban ho! Education main purpose is to make you free and true discipline comes from freedom of mind!

[@pauljaikaran9790]

College uniform is a good option. It may place all students on the same footing as the college may consist of students from different classes and also wearing Uniform may curtail the rich brats from showing off their Costly outfits and accessories. People may call it as moral Police or the Dress Police but students who are less fortunate should not get discouraged by the flamboyant attitude of the more fortunate while pursuing their education and on the other hand banning of Hijab is unnecessary. If the institution is more concerned about the covering of the skin of the students why should Hijab the traditional dress covering which is used primarily as an epitome of modest dressing of a particular community should be banned ?

In my view, a dress code is not a cause for alarm if it insists on maintaining certain level of parity between students. Also, decency is necessary in an educational institution. In corporates there was always a stated dress code which was not open to question. Army, Police, Doctors, Lawyers and so many professions have dress codes. What is being implied by this report is not clear.

[@CurvyPrincess-wj7tl]

And that's exactly the argument right? If Dress is unessential part education, then why not have more in-line dress code defined by the institutions? That way students are not worried about "who is wearing what".. and there is no pressure on certain groups of students who dont adhere to either very modern/revealing clothes or very traditional/covered.. and more focus is paid on studies and excelling in college... This rule is necessary to support the non confirmers to a particular type of dressing so focus is given where it is needed.. and not on this inane babble

I hope we will have to live in India. You are free to wear any dress you like. As long as it is not disrespecting the community at large. If a lady wants to wear hijob, it is her wish if a lady wants to wear jeans, it is her wish. Why should an institution? Curb that freedom from the students where by college life is all about colour fun and also. Education, where is our country heading to such things? Never happened 10 years before now on. Everything there is an issue, even in this case. The idea is to single out. A particular community. So that you should not be sing. Outing a single community, you also added smaller conditions whereby you may sound neutral. Not wearing a jeans to the college seems to be next to impossible. Because 80% of all, these students will be wearing jeans even normally. So, how do you expect them not to wear the gym? Please understand the larger picture. This is not the genes. It is all about how to curb the freedom of those muslim students
