The dress codes for school is necessary to inculcate a sense of discipline among students.For convocations,it is desirable to distinguish the recipients of degrees from the rest of students.For lawyers,it is necessry to have it in order to distinguish them from the accused and criminals.The dress codes must be enforced in the government offices,too.

What I mean to say is may be the dress code was imposed by the Britishers, but today we are free. We don’t need debates and speeches. to remove them. If they have become outdated
and out of context in todays life, they should be changed.

Bombay University has done away with the convocation dress. I do not know how many other Indian Universities have done the same.
Some clubs maintain dress codes….the management can change them.

Visit any good school, you will find children in some sort of uniform, their parents(usually mothers) speaking in English (may be half baked half broken)as if this gives them
superiority over their friends.

And if you care to investigate, you will find that all those netas who speak in favour of Hindi or other regional Indian languages on public platforms send their children to English schools…convents and missionaries.

If this is the mindset of the general public……whom do you blame.
What excuse do we have for blaming the Britishers even after 6 decades of independence.

No, the matter is not as simple as what the learned author seeks to make out. Unfortunately for this jinxed and accursed country, India has been ravaged and plundered and subjugated for ages by the foreign marauders, who destroyed its institutions, converted its people to the faiths of the rulers from across the boundaries and made every effort to see that the country and its people lost its past and identity. All that we now have and follow and believe too be our own very greatly is the function of the two regimes immediately preceding the marauders who succeeded their British masters in 1947. And, in the result, through the faithful agents of the latest Foreign rulers, i.e., the ICS (and its less capable pall-bearers, the IAS), the British ensured that the institutions, etc., established by them in their rule of 200 years alone stayed. And that is how we have our dress codes, our courses on courtesy, our “table Manners”, our every-day life pattern woven inter alia with a mongrel product of a not-really-native tradition mixed heavily with “whatever-is thrust-upon-us modes by anybody foreign” type of style that we keep aping! And hence these hilarious dress codes and, strangely, even the “Communists/Maoists, etc. of INDIA”-the mass-movement entirely imported in every respect from accross the borders, and sadly enough the parents having deceased in the country of its origin.
We are a nation of apes. We copy. We love giving up our own traditions/cultures/past, and both ordinary natives as well as the progressives of both varieties-the entirely Western-educated surrogate Indians as well as the Leftists, all the time denouncing whatever is Indian in origin- are competing with each other in giving up even their shame to be rid of the “stink” of Indian-ness!

We may just ponder over our life styles and then decide if we remain Indians and NOT. And immediately.
