Ban jeans, cell phones and wear dupatta to stop rapes

The right-wing Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha has blamed vulgar clothes for being responsible for rapes. It has demanded that, in order to check the growing incidents of rape, a dress code for girls should be introduced in schools and colleges. Also, cell phones should be banned on their premises with a view to check increasing obscenity. It should also be compulsory for girls to wear ‘dupatta’.
The general notion appears to be that vulgar clothes lead to incidents of rape and, in order to curb increasing obscenity in society, schools and colleges should follow a particular dress code. The clothes should cover the body and not be indecent. In addition, there should be a ban on girls wearing tight jeans and tops.
Another aspect is the live-in relationships. In the opinion of these groups, the Indian culture is getting affected due to such relationship and hence there should be a law prohibiting this tendency. The mentality of society is, apparently, not mature enough to give unrestricted freedom to the youths.
Those who want such measures to be introduced should be more radical in their thinking because our ancient cave sculptures of Khajuraho, Ajanta, Ellora etcetera reveal the female form in all its glory with scant clothing. Should these places be made out of bounds for the young ones?
Other influences are the Bollywood movies where the media goes ga-ga over earnings of movies in hundreds of crores of rupees – and, for such money to roll in, the credit should go to the bare-all dances numbers better known as item songs that accompany provocative body gestures. Should they also not be banned?
We are inviting FDI in many areas and these will bring with them foreign cultures that could the minds of the youth – in order to preserve our culture, should we not rethink on allowing FDI? Moreover, rapes are not restricted to school and college going girls but also working women, and housewives.
