Mumbai college bans ripped jeans, says it ‘mocks the poor’
Mumbai's St Xavier's College has banned its students from wearing ripped jeans on campus, alleging that it mocks the poor. "In the name of fashion, students are mocking the clothes that the poor are forced to wear. As a Jesuit institution, we cannot allow it," the institute principal said. Reportedly, the college has already banned sleeveless blouses and short skirts.
