I think they merely remove the small towel/napkin like stuff on their shoulders. Do not remember them removing shirts. Any you tube videos of old movies available?

Your post is to the point. Some of these men are ignorant too.
The celibacy of the peacock was national news in the same week that the actor, who first became famous for being crowned Miss World and is now promoting her Hollywood release Baywatch, received flak for displaying her legs while meeting the Prime Minister. Never mind that her legs are a deal more shapely and easy on the eye.
The peacock, said Justice Mahesh Chandra Sharma, on the day he retired as judge from the Rajasthan High Court, is so sanskari a bird that it does not fornicate to reproduce.
“It is a lifelong Brahmachari,” he says, “It never has sex with the peahen. The peahen gets pregnant after swallowing the tears of the peacock.”
He went on to add that the peacock’s celibacy was the reason Lord Krishna wore its feather as an accessory. The fact that Lord Krishna was anything but celibate does not seem to play into this reasoning. The peacock is a beautiful bird, and it may be pious for all we know. But would having sex – which science tells us it does – make it undeserving of being the national bird?

There are more dubious Medhavies who mostly talk only about ignorance, perhaps they know nothing else....lol
People who are ‘ignorant' of Indian dress code, I mean Indian culture, come here to lament about others.
One should be familiar with Indian dress code and reasons behind it.
First and foremost thing is that India is not West.
There are cultural norms practiced here seriously
Wearing clothing that ware considered as indecent by Indian standard is insulting
Basic standard of modesty all over India requires that one should cover up knees, upper arms, shoulders, cleavage and midriff, etc
Of course, when one wear a sari it is acceptable to expose midriff
Revealing dressing is a taboo
And above all, cultural sensitivity is considered more important.

Long long back, Indian women have started wearing showy dresses!
My friend, living in the U S of A told me that when she asked her daughter NOT to wear a low cut top and
shorts, the girl asked her mother to visit a few malls in India to find out how some Indian females dress!
Mom had to :tape: !!

There may few who are more influenced with Western culture and may love to wear western style of dressing.
But one cannot generalize by citing few exceptional cases
And such sporadic cases cannot be considered as a scale to determine Indian culture....
Let the people who talk here visit the villages ..
One should not forget that India lives in villages.
In fact, wearing of saree and bindi on the forehead have gone global and are slowly catching up in the west..!!

About the PC incident:
The requirement of decorum makes it obligatory on the part of visitors to wear the correct dress and the display of correct demenor while meeting a high level dignitary.
When you go to meet the Bishop you are supposed to go wearing the correct dress and kiss his hands only if and when he offers. That is the way respect is shown to his position and dignity that goes with it. The modern day women liberationists may insist that the girl will go wearing hot pants to meet the bishop. But it is the right of the Bishop to grant audience or not.
Priyanka erred by showing off her legs sitting in an inappropriate posture.
Whether it is PM or President my view would be the same.
About the peacock:
I will wait untill some Biologist among our members confirms on the method of impregnation in the case of peacocks and peahens. I know that there is a fish variety in which the species multiplies by the male fish swallowing the eggs released by the female fish and allowing the eggs to mature in its guts.
For the present I would not make fun of the judge.

Wow,
Even in this day and age of Information!!!!!!!!!
Such ignorance?
I have lived with peacocks.
And peacocks mate noisily -- there's a lot of flapping and screeching involved.
When a peacock wants a mate, he will display his train and strut by the nearest female, puffing out his chest and shaking his tail feathers as he goes. During mating season, the peafowl are also very vocal, making mewing cries that can sound like a kitten or small child.
If the peahen takes an interest, she will allow the peacock to mate with her. The peacock mounts on top of the peahen's back and deposits his sperm into her sexual organ located on her back.
At the risk of getting banned, I am posting the video to convince Mr. Vaagmi of basic facts of life instead of believing the ignorant rant of a so-called "ex-judge".

This may remind few about ‘Superman’ wearing pants outside…. these girls wearing....... outside.
Row over Kerala school's uniform: Some call it 'vulgar', others say stop objectifying minors
More than five thousand people shared the post in just a day, and the photograph was circulated widely on social media.
A school at Aruvithura in Kottayam is fighting a heated controversy online which erupted over the design of its new school uniform.
Following a Facebook post that called the uniform ‘vulgar’, the school has received a barrage of complaints online - mostly from men - but the teachers of the school maintain that the uniform was well-designed.
It all began when a photographer, Zachariah Ponkunnam, posted an image on his Facebook wall of three girls wearing the uniform of St Alphonsa Public School, Aruvithura. In the post, he stated that the school uniform was designed obscenely. The post went viral and many social media users came down heavily on the school authorities, alleging that the uniform was obscene.
Interestingly, the comments on Zachariah's post are mostly from men, many of whom have been making rather vulgar comments and posting obscene pictures and memes to fight the perceived 'vulgarity' of the uniform.

Every day, we are given more and more reasons to facepalm. Some days, it is politicians with XXXX moments like “boys will be boys” for rape cases, on others, it is people getting their knickers in a bunch over something an internationally famous and accomplished woman from India — no less than Priyanka Chopra — wears.
We Indians are very proud of our culture. But we don’t really know what that means. We are proud of it all the same. And anything that goes against our culture should be ridiculed. That too proudly. Now that we have this rule sorted, let us shame unsanskari swimsuit-wielder-cum-Quantico-star Priyanka Chopra.
The 34-year-old Indian actress who shot to international fame met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin, where she was promoting her film Baywatch — and the PM on a state visit. Meeting Mr Modi was a pretty big deal to her (no, really) and getting to meet the PM in flesh rather unexpectedly led to her to sharing a photo on the social media.
Don’t we all do that?
"Thank you for taking the time to meet me this morning Narendra Modi Sir. Such a lovely coincidence to be in Berlin at the same time," wrote Chopra.
But where she massively messed up, and she should be punished for it, is the fact that she, a self-made accomplished and educated woman who has gained fame and recognition globally, forgot that Indians are XXXXXXX about their cultural sensibilities.
She wore, in front of our prime minister — a man who is as old as her late father — a dress. That revealed her legs. FOR SHAME

Show me the reference. I will wait until some Biologist among our members confirms on this reproduction method.
Let me clarify again.
Maybe you were talking about some other unusual reproducing method.
Seahorses reproduce in an unusual way. The male seahorse becomes pregnant instead of the female. Most seahorse pregnancies lasts approximately 2 to 3 weeks. The male seahorse has a brood pouch where he carries eggs deposited by the female. (See Seahorse Anatomy for illustrations).
Seahorses are reknown for their mating rituals in which they dance together before mating. View the short video below to see these graceful creatures perform their mating dance.
The mating pair entwine their tails and the female aligns a long tube called an ovipositor with the males pouch. The eggs move through the tube into the males pouch where he then fertilizes them. The embryos develop in ten days to six weeks, depending on species and water conditions. When the male gives birth he pumps his tail until the baby seahorses emerge.
The males pouch regulates salinity (dissolved salt content of a body of water) for the eggs, slowly increasing in the pouch to match the water outside as the eggs mature. Once the offspring hatch, the male releases the fry (baby seahorses) and does not provide parental care for them. Most will not consume their own offspring, however, it has been known for them to do so.
Oral brooding, although quite rare in nature, is a parenting method adopted by many fish in the Family Cichlidae . After the successful fertilization of the eggs, Cichlids, such as Tilapia, place the egg clutch into the mouth of the female. The fecundity is significantly lower in oral brooders; however, the eggs tend to be larger and receive more nutrients. By placing the eggs into the oral cavity, the female is able to provide protection for the eggs, and the churning ability of the female rotates the eggs so that each egg is exposed to oxygenated water.

What is the big deal of Priyankas outfit or legs here?
If one wears a skirt usually legs are crossed or placed together.
I dont see the big deal here at all.
Btw what the heck that the peacock does not mate? LOL
Then I guess the Chakora too does not eat but only drinks moon drops.
Come on yaar..even Veda Vyasa had to have sex to impregnate the widowed queens..do we really have to believe a peacock does not gun it?
Then what the heck for the peacock does an item number dance to get the female?

If Priyanka is not an Indian, no one would have commented about her dress and posture!
BTW, even Obama's daughter is criticized for wearing a very short dress, while going out. :fish:
''The former First Daughter was seen in the denim dress as well as a pair of black Chuck Taylors
and a brown leather backpack. The outfit quickly went viral, with many questioning her choice
and criticizing her for showing her legs as much as she did.''

Dear Renu,
Indians are taught to do a namaskaram to elders and NOT to sit cross legged, in front of them.
The upadhEsam is: 'periyavA munnAla kAl mEla kAl pOttu ukkArAdhE!' :nono:

when I started this thread I had mentioned only the top dress of women.
that is only a tip of the ice berg.
in metro cities, especially bangalore, bombay, delhi, calcutta etc especially in IT companies:
smoking is common among women. scenes of women smoking on streets can commonly be found.
drinking is common among women.
dating is common among women.
live-in relationships is common.
inter-caste, inter-religious marriage is common.
indian culture has merged with US culture.
indian culture has eroded, degenerated and decayed.
where are those modesty, humility, timidity, shame-facedness and other traits of typical indian women of yester-centuries!!!!
pride, arrogance and conceit prevail and are rampant among indian women in their mid-twenties of now.

Now let us talk about bottom dress. In this case, the woman forgot to wear one when going for her own marriage.
