State of the Nation: Dress Indian, please

In just over 24 hours from now, India will be celebrating its independence day. All through this Independence Day week, CNN-IBN and Hindustan Times present a survey on how Indian society has changed since Independence. On Thursday, the topic of discussion was what Indians feel about a dress code.

No one dresses up in as many different shades as Indians do with jeans, skirts or kurta pyjamas, salwar suits and sarees and many other dresses a part of the wardrobe. But school and college authorities have often come down heavily against youngsters dressing up, a bit too casually.

The panel of experts included fashion designer Rina Dhaka, Principal of Mount Carmel School, New Delhi, VK Williams; Principal of Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai, Nirmala Prasad and Chairman, Delhi Minorities Commission, Kamal Farooqui.
