Bengaluru, Apr 8: A senior professor from a prestigious institution in Bangaluru has landed in a controversy after he reprimanded one of his female students for entering classroom without dressing “properly”.
Prof V Nagaraj, who has nearly three decades of experience, had never expected that the girl students of the National Law School of India University would revolt against him for his comments and expose their legs in a bid to “demoralise” him.
According to reports, the professor scorned a third-year girl for wearing shorts to class on April 4. In protest against this so called “public shaming”, all girl students wore “micro mini shorts” to the professor's class the next day.
In a statement on social media on Wednesday, the students alleged that the professor shamed a female student for the clothes she wore to class. He allegedly cast aspersions on her character. The statement said the student, like many others, had worn shorts to class.
“On noticing the shorts, the said professor chastised the student before the entire class by asking her to 'dress properly'. The student was uncomfortable with the remark, as were many of us, since we do not think it is correct for a teacher to impose his/her notions about appropriate clothing upon students. The student in question, who was scolded by the said professor, thought it necessary to further discuss the matter with him and not to overlook it as another instance of moral policing. Upon approaching the teacher and raising objections regarding his statement, the student, to our dismay, was once again rebuked by the professor and was exposed to a plethora of untoward comments,” it said.
On Thursday evening, students of the batch of 2018 posted on Facebook that their action was to highlight that students had faced ridicule and harassment from the professor for the way they chose to dress.
However, Prof Nagaraj denied any wrongdoing and but said he expected decorum in students' dress sense. “Nothing like (what is described in the statement) happened. Students are making false and baseless allegations. It is for the university authorities to examine this incident. This is the first time that students have made such a statement (whereas) I have been teaching for 27 years.”
The professor also said that that there was no written dress code for students in NLSIU's rules currently but he has asked the university administration to issue clarifications about the dress code to the students, especially keeping in mind that “certain decorum” is expected from students attending lectures taken “especially by a senior faculty member”.
Welcoming the move Dr Arathi Krishna told coastaldigst.com that Indians stranded in any foreign country can utilize this facility. "Initially, I was approached by Mr Zakaria and Mr Sheik who wanted chartered flights to help their employees fly back to India. I asked them to write to the Indian Ambassador in Saudi Araia Mr Ausaf Sayeed. Then I requested the ambassador to forward the request to Joint Secretary Dr Nagendra Prasad, who is in charge of gulf division in the Ministry of External Affairs, and then to Secretary on charge of Gulf and then I requested Secretary of Economic Relations Mr T S Tirumurti who was also in charge of Gulf to follow this up," she said.

BIBLE SAYS: 1 Corinthians 11:5:6 - But every wife who prays or prophesies with her HEAD UNcovered DISHONORS her HEAD, Since it is the same as if her HEAD were Shaven. For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should CUT her hair short. But since it DISGRACEFUL for a wife to cut off her HAIR or SHAVE her HEAD, let her cover her HEAD.
VEDA SAYS : Rig veda book no 8 Hymn no 19 : When Brahma has made YOU a WOMAN, You should lower gaze and should not LOOK UP. You should put your feet together and you should not reveal what the garment and the veil conceals.
QURAN Chapter 33 V 9 : O prophet ! say to your Wives and your daughters and the women of the FAITHFUL to draw their outer garments close around themselves, that is BETTER that they will be recognized and not ANNOYED. and ALLAH is ever forgiving, Gentle.
People say they are christian, hindu & muslims... but they never follow what they say. Many people follow the MEDIA which mostly controlled by those who doesnt believe in God and Ignore what is taught in the RELIGIOUS books which is enlightened by the Prophets of GOD to MANKIND
Dont be a follower of MEDIA rather study the Scripture and be a faithful believer in GOD which will be successful.
What is wrong to come to college with Mini Shorts, If the girls want to show their assets free of cost for boys and men our guys welcome.

My Dear Bharath kay Nariyo irrespective to any Religion you will not become beautiful by shedding your cloths.
Just and example for all those girls and women who want to wear revealing cloths, your are like a exposed Healthy Dish Surrounded by filthy flies around rotten flesh.
Protect your modesty, beauty is not in nudity.
Why girls are fond of shorts? are they RSS workers?
Sexist professor Vs sexy students.
