Decent dressing is an issue again for Magadh Mahila College students. Magadh Mahila College, a prominent institution under Patna University, has issued fresh diktat asking the girls to wear ‘decent’ clothes. The college administration has banned sleeveless dress or figure- hugging Tees on tight jeans. The authorities feel that such dresses spur eve-teasing.
Unsurprisingly the directive has come under criticism for reducing rights of the girls. The argument put forth by the girls maintained that the girls wearing traditional dresses had also been victimised by eve-teasers.
The college administration, on the other hand, claims that the directive had been issued in the interest of the girls. The college authorities have since allowed the girls to wear jeans with a rider. They have asked students to wear a kurti with jeans instead of T- shirts. The college is now said to be mulling introducing a proper dress code for its students.
