Uttam, Many moons ago, while in Cotton and during the 'ragging' season, one of friends (who has become a well-known politician now), was with a group ragging a young lady (freshman), and asked her why she wasn't wearing mekhela-chaador (instead of pants). She replied that she would as soon as the men started wearing dhuti-panjabi. Well she is doing quite well in the good ole USA, after a fanstastic educational achievement. The famous politician has, from what I hear, become a multi-millionaire, and he never wasted anytime readings books.
As for women required to keep up the standards, men are real good at enforcing the rules, but don't expect them to follow them too :) But what do you make of this? What is this secret agent (007?) of meethapati? ** *The outfit also claimed the responsibility for killing one non-local Prasad (35), who worked as an agent of meethapati, zarda and khaini at Ningthoukhong in Manipur's Bishnupur district. He was awarded capital punishment on Monday at around 6.30 pm for failing to heed to the repeated warnings of the outfit.* In this day and age? --Ram da * * --Ram da On 10/26/07, uttam borthakur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ram da > > I also wonder in case of all 'natonal' 'religious' or such other > 'upheavals' why the women-folk are always required to adhere to the > 'national' 'religious' dress code while the men-folk can do with or > without whatever they like.
