What's new

Bahria University banned Shalwar Kameez on campus. Is this Islamic Republic of Pakistan?

If we can't even wear modest non-Western dress then what was the purpose of separating from India? At least we would get better economy there
 
I believe this is to counter the tendency of students to dress shabbily in shalwar kameez.

Buttons opened, unironed, dirty, with the payenchay going way under the feet, and open shoes, this was common sight during my undergrad days even. I used to wear shalwar kameez myself but with closed shoes, ironed it, wear it in a proper manner and some pride at least.

At least this is the only sense I make.

Now the decision maker just thought we'll outright ban it rather than making people adhere to the proper manner.

Now don't mistake me, I'm not saying impose restrictions as if it's an army mess (MGM, Artillery mess, although I think they have relaxed on the rules too), but still be tidy.
 
Always fancied the american sensibility. Got rid of that stupid british mindset. Americans wear casual outfit thats practical, not being british slaves any more.

The title is too misleading and provoking.
If you want to check the element of Islamic faith, go through the instructions for females.
You are creating storm in a teacup.

Females are not allowed to wear sleeveless Shalwar Qameez, should have Hijab, Abaya, Chaddar, fully cover themselves even if they go for Jeans/ trousers which should not be tight either.

For males, they are allowed almost all kind of casual clothes that are decent. The reason why they would have only permitted Shalwar Qameez on Friday is of course for the ease in Friday prayers. Other than that, the administration might not want the students to be considered Malis or Chachas or any other domestic staff, especially when there could be visitors from outside.

The office where I work, we have to wear clothes as per our professions. It does not make the management idol worshippers.

P.S. Shalwar Qameez is not an Islamic dress.

If life ever gives you a chance, visit a university in the developed world. People dress how it pleases them.


Pakistani universities are the biggest duffer institutes in the country - they're unfit for purpose.

Always focused on who sits wear, what people do, how they dress... education quality and research is right at the bottom of priorities.

Here lies the crux of the problem in Pakistan. You people think of yourself as inferior to the gora, you think of the working class as inferior to you.

Most malis will have better employment opportunities than graduates from such bakwas universities. At least the Mali can provide a service that is required. The vast majority of degrees these rubbish universities provide are not worth the paper they're printed on.

I am not looking down upon the housekeeping staff or gardeners or anyone above me neither I live in any inferiority complex. My point is, you dress as per your work or relevance so that you could be easily spotted and differentiated.
 
The shalwar kameez for men either needs to be redesigned or replaced. It's okay on women as it looks like a dress but on men it's ridiculous with all its variations with a suit jacket,waistcoat and sandals. All universities should ban it.


Look how sharp he looks, much better than the night gown/womens dress :lol: You should all learn from him.
