Quotable

"Girls who choose to wear jeans will be expelled from the college, This is the only way to stop crime against women. Western dresses, including body-hugging tops and tight-fitting jeans, don’t indicate a disciplined atmosphere and attract comments from eve-teasers. We can’t overlook the safety of students. A dress code would check eve-teasing to some extent and also ensure that girls don’t waste their time selecting what clothes to wear," --- Meeta Jamal, principal of the Dayanand girls college in the city of Kanpur, India.
