Moral policing
by Manoj on Oct 04, 2005 07:19 PM

The sort of moral policing that's now going on in Chennai is worse than the one indulged in by the Shivsena activists in Maharashtra and elsewhere. This is sickening, to say the least. Haven't the authorities heard of such a thing as individual freedom and privacy? As long as the people are not infringing upon the rights of others and/or causing public nuisance, they ARE entitled to do whatever pleases them.
Scenes 2, 3 and 4 are not pieces of fiction, but real incidents. One of my friends is doing his MBA at Styabama Institute where you can't even talk to students of opposite sex. What's this progressive city coming to?
Anna University VC imposes dress code saying sleaveless tops etc would distract boy students. IMO, if they do get distracted, then they aren't coming there for studying, but for ogling at girls. Should you tell students over 18 (who have voting rights) what to wear? Is this the job that the VC is paid for?

Foisting of such absurd rules has to be opposed.
