The Craze for Fashions
Man has always been fashionable.
The ancient relics show men and women wearing different hair-styles, clothes
and jewellery. But the craze for fashions is something modern to man.
Fashions change every now and
then. Actors and actresses in various films are the great pioneers in this
field. The young men and women try to ape whatever they see in films. The
modern world is a small one and interaction between people of different
nationalities leads to imbibing the living habits of one another.
The craze for fashions is more
rampant in the cities and towns than in small villages. It is particularly more
among the school and college boys and girls. This is the field in particular
where the girls have stolen a march over the boys. The boys move about like
dandies and the girls like fairies. Some-times, they put on dresses of the
opposite sex and have the same hair style, such that it is very difficult to
tell whether the young person before us is a boy or a girl.
The fashions go on changing.
Some-time back, the young people wore very tight clothes. Then they began to
wear bell-bot-toms. Now they wear jeans and baggy trousers. Sometimes, the
clothes worn by girls are too gaudy and obscene.
It is not understandable when our
youth will realize that wearing clean, charming but simple clothes is all
right, but being an ape or a monkey is something different. Our young people
waste so much time and money on brushing themselves up instead of concentrating
on studies, arts, sports and extramural activities which can lead to an all
round development of their personality.
Let our youth learn how to spend
their time more usefully and constructively in the national interest than on
time-consuming but quickly changing fashions introduced by tailors.
