INAPPROPRIATE CLOTHING Parvati Group – Shikshapatri Shlok 38,161
SHLOK 38. • My disciples shall never wear garments, which may cause any indecent exposure of the body. http://www.shikshapatri.org.uk/
Definition • Deliberate exposure by a person of a portion or portions of his or her own body under circumstances where such an exposure is likely to be seen as contrary to the local commonly accepted standards of decency • Our standards are stated in Shikshapatri shlok 161 • It can be a violation of law. • In some countries a breach of the standards of modesty may constitute public indecency. e.g Most Middle East Countries.
If women want respect and not to be treated as a “piece of meat, sex toy etc.” they need to exhibit modesty in their dress and behaviour in public.”
Women should not behave in a way that attracts undesirable male attention.
