Anna University 'think tank' committee concludes..
Check out the link. yeah, its the college from which I completed my Bachelors. It takes a Anna University-decision on dress code for MNM Jain Engineering College to make The Hindu front page.
After so much analysis from such a high level committee (like the six member committee that discussed Chappel-Ganguly case) they decide that a Salwar/ Pant-Shirt is the best for TN students.
MNM Jail engineering college in keeping with its oneupmanship, improvised on that to add 'Shoes', 'clean shaven', 'short hair', 'light colored full sleeve shirt' to that list.
"ellam Alaipayudhey Madhavan'aala vandha prachanai, stubbles'oda vandhu ella ponnugalayum cover pannitan, adhu naala college decides that 'clean shaven' guys will help improve girl's concentration"
What is a possible motive behind a dress code enforcement?
- The students will not concentrate on studies.
- Less pass percentage will affect the ranking and in turn their "name"
Some of us had the opportunity to study in US grad schools and our outlook towards studies, attendance, dress, etc changed completely. Tell me frankly, isn't shorts (or something shorter) the best outfit for Chennai's climate? This claim is an 'outrage' in today's grad schools in Tamil Nadu (or India, for that matter)
The attitude towards education must change. Students should not attend school (engineering college) for the "Appa told me to" reason. The 'self financing' schools should concentrate towards improving the quality of lecturers and lectures. Student's attendance should ONLY have an impact on the knowledge gained. When such things happen, when the ideal students are ready, on that day, the dress code must be revised and 'T-Shirts', 'Shorts' must be added to the list.
I feel that Anna University has no right to take the dress code on its hand. The other schools have no option but to enforce a dress code to safe guard their investments (until they are confident on their quality of education, they have to rely on these peripheral things).
But seriously, It beats me as to how a 'dark colored shirt', 'not-so-clean shaven guy', 'lengthy hair' affect the concentration of a student?

Lolz! Reminds me of my Princi....
Even though my college was not as bad as the so called "most prestigious colleges" where you would have to pay an incredulous amount of money to get in. There were a few restrictions as staged in your blog...
This is nothing compared to how some colleges dint allow girls and guys to talk! Whaaaaa? Crazy! If girls and boys weren’t supposed to talk...why at all should they live on the same planet... The supernatural should probably create two planets "Female Planet" and "Male Planet" where kids could go to study without any disturbance what so ever!
The biggest torture here was instutions fighting over whoz stricter...to attract the parent community ....Whateva!
ha ha... what next Barath.. swimsuits in Marina beach.. after all Chennai is hot... why not make it hotter... :-))
Jokes apart, yes this whole thing about dress code is "like a bucket of water in the sea"... :P
I do not know whats this going to achieve... and by the way, who said that guys get distracted only by such not-to-be-worn-anymore dresses... And to think I was told all these days it was nature's way and chemistry... high time all these rule makers attended these classes ;-)
Seems this is one hot topic in South India now..along with the Khushboo episode ! I would say such people who restrict girls dressing ways inside colleges are
all MCPs ..what the hell do they think to do such moral-policing ! Tamilnadu has become a home for such b@#@%^! politicians who keeep on shouting either moral stupidities or lingual absurdities !
Lookin sexy is not just in the way people dress..but its in the way people portray themselves..the way they move about ! Infact saree is the most attractive dress for that matter !See what the idiots are doin for Sania ! Sayin she should not wear skirts..she should not wear Tight shorts ..what the heck will she wear to play tennis then..Purkhaa? She better base-camp @ USA and play for India stll ofcourse !
A statement of an ordinary actress who is all retired, hosting Tv shows is causin so much anguish to tamil women huh ?
Suj and other chennaites,
All i read online sounds so atrocious..she begging for pardon on Jaya TV..is the whole tamilnadu boiling for a mere khushboo's statement..who is she to judge about the sexuality of a whole state's women ! Why shld we bother about that crap at all !
The most irritating issue of all
.....TAMIL..why cant the politicians see that a language is just a damn tool for communication ! thats all ! why to
emotionalize the whole thing as birth place and dravidian and all this shit..His granddaughters are studying in Delhi hindi and english..their names are sanskrit ! and still the bugger calls all tamilians to have tamilian names (whatever that means)... and asks them to study everything in tamil !
I have always been very angry about all these issues and post a lot in forums ! first chance, i am ready to murder the PMK and panthers leads.
A still steaming and boiling,
Anand
Prof. Vishwanathan's (VC of Anna Univ) 'burkha regime' inside colleges is archaic, fascist and outrageously sexist. The whole proposal doesn't seem to be based on well-founded reason, but on an individual's skewed perception about youth and society. Does he expect student to wear bandh-galas like him????. And the "goodie-goodie student theory" doesn't end there. From now on there is a blanket ban on any singing, dancing to film songs in cultural events. And the reason he could muster on NDTV: Students get tired singing and dancing, so they are not able to attend campus placement sessions properly. What a disconnected argument? True - Anna Univ is a world-class inst. But there are other insts. (one right opposite to it for example,) that have much liberal policies and still their students end up getting positions that are several times better. Hope rationality prevails sooner rather than later.
