It seems that the State Woman's Commission of Madhya Pradesh has taken a cue from the Shiv Sena, and decided to play moral police. The state is among the top when it comes to crimes against women, and the commission thinks that women themselves are to be blamed. So a fortnight after banning fashion shows in government run colleges, the commission has suggested a ban on the wearing of skirts in educational institutes. While restrictions on the dress code have been suggested and even enforced in many a college and university across the country, schools have been spared so far. Not any more. If this ban comes through, and you can bet it will, one can imagine little girls running around in full length pants. But only for a while. After that some XYZ commission will again propose that pants promote western culture, and girls should wear 'traditional indian clothes'. So now we would see little girls running around in salwar kameezes and sarees. So Cute! Soon enough even pre schools kids would be banned from wearing frocks. Can any girl even think of growing up without having worn a frock. Meanwhile, some idiotic student defends her right to wear skirts, by stating that not wearing skirts would hamper the chances of the state's girls at beauty pagents and contests at the national and international level. Deep. I am sure the commission will revoke their plea after hearing this. They must!
But but but, there is some silver lining at the end of the dark cloud. The commission is also thinking of serving a notice to small screen serial maker Ektaa Kapoor. It contends that her soaps are polluting the mind of the young. BRAVO!
...yeh rumaal, bhi sexy hai!

Somehow, as report after report keeps coming in on the idioticity of out government, from reservations to moral policing to now skirt banning for kids, I keep trying to ignore them... doesn't seem like I can live in such a fucked up environment...
Don't know if that is right. The easiest way out out seems to be to just leave the country, study/work abroad...
But then again, isn't it also our responsibility to stop this madness? Is it mine?
Can 1 person achieve anything at all - can 1 person stop the madness ?
Can I change the country if I stay back and fight??
Can we if we all do?
Okay everything agreed...the thing they are trying to do is just enough to let them do it worng a few times before finally they do get it right. After all, we all know the kind of "intelligent" people who run the here-mentioned organisations...or should I say "clans"....
Anyways...The best part is...finally someone if trying to stop that...My Tilak is my third eye...Ektaa KKKKapoor...before she succeeds in her evil plan of conquering the world with an army of brainwashed non-working middle-class housewives...and some others who just watch that stuff...
Bless u...
The great thing about our government policies is that they are so obviously stupid, and yet the spokesmen defend them like god's true words.
However, the Ekta development proves that given time even monkeys will type Shakespears :)
little boys still get to wear shorts...unfair i say! on a more serious note, controlling what people wear is eventually controlling their way of thinking, of growing up of life on the whole. that is as bad as being in prison coz there too somebody else owns you. and isnt that exactly what politicians and the so called do gooders of the society want ultimately?
hey... what if you get Ekta Kapoors actors to wear skirts... will that speed the process? will it? huh? huh? will it?
