Rules for the flag
The Hindustan Times reports:
The principal arrives. "Yes," she says.
"Madam," the head cop says, "please call all your girls out into the square and ask them to [drool drool] strip."
"What nonsense," barks the principal. "How dare you? I will do no such thing. Why should they strip?"
"Madam," the head cop says, "we have received information that someone here is disrespecting the national flag by wearing it as a g-string. It is a punishable offence. We must protect the honour of this country. The girls must [drool drool] strip."
"Preposterous," shrieks the principal. "I will not allow such a thing."
"Madam," the head cop says, "May I ask a question? I can see your bra strap peep delectably out of your blouse, on your shoulder. Why is it [drool drool] saffron?"
Gone are the sweeping restrictions on the use of national flag as a portion of costume or uniform for the public. For sports-persons, in particular, donning the national flag as part of their dress is to be allowed.Hmm. I can just imagine cops marching into a girls college and demanding to meet the principal.
However, as undergarments, uniforms or accessories worn below the waist, it is a no-no.
