First, it was the moral brigade, now it is schools that have muscled in trying to control what you wear. A Bandra school has made parents sign an undertaking that they must arrive in 'decent and modest attire' or face consequences.

It has not quite spelt out what it means by decent, which is highly subjective. The school director refused to comment, but plenty of parents were understandably irked by the directive. They were shocked and angry too, but refused to give their names because their children may be targeted by the school authorities.
