Jeans GirlsRanchi, August 7, 2012: Posters put by an outfit in the Jharkhand capital have threatened acid attacks on girls and women who wear jeans or do not wear a dupatta. The police said it could be a case of mischief.

The handwritten posters, put up by Jharkhand Mukti Sangh at several points in the city, including St. Xavier’s College and Albert Ekka roundabout, read: "From 20/8/2012 (Aug 20), jeans have been banned for girls. Any girl will be found wearing jeans and moving without dupatta will be attacked with acid."

The poster also warns against displacing people for industrialisation. "Companies involved in land acquisition will be attacked," it said.

"We have heard about about this outfit for the first time. This can be a case of mischief. We are trying to trace the people involved," a police officer said.

It’s time the Indians admitted their hypocrisy and duplicity when it comes to gender equality. It’s irrational how the so-called custodians of morality, who shun women wearing jeans pants, queue up in front of cinemas showing women in skimpy dresses and gyrating to despicable songs. Are we in retrogression or succumbing to questionable moral values of certain communities, which repress women for extending their influence over unsuspecting populace?
