Why don't they implement this dress code on male students also -- no shorts, no sleeveless vests/T-shirts, jeans etc. No audio systems . ONLY school uniform like clothes.
Females may also be asked to come in skirts or trousers only (even Indian female - police and army dresses up in trousers and shirts!!) . No salwar kurta or Sari.

C'da,
Goodness - now even in the deep South? Sad ain't it?
One does hope the Vice-Chancellor does take it upon himself to
(a) beat up young women
(b) cut their limbs off
(c) pass a fatwa or an edict against errant families allowing such high crimes.
I tell, this darn thing is contagious. It started out with the
Mullahas of Afganistan, Saudi Aribia, Pakistan, then on to the Shiv
Sena types, and then to the North East Militants and student leaders.
Gracious! its spreading like wildfire. :)

Incidently, the Big Mullah (Jama Masjid) has overruled the previous
fatwa by some small-fry mullah. He has 'allowed' Sania to wear what
she pleases. So she is safe, till the next nut comes along.
BTW: On an unrelated matter, the Viswakarma puja just went by.
Viswakarma is supposedly the God of Architecture (and the Arts &
business) - just wanted to pass that along, if you didn't already know
it. And since all of Assam is agog with the business spirit, it was a
holiday as usual :)
