Western dress vs Indian: Delhi men lech no matter what you wear!

There seems to be no dearth of the 10 hours of women walking on the streets social experiment. The catcalling and eve teasing experiment has been replicated in every possible way, in every possible city with various kinds of variations. We shared with you 10 hours of walking as a woman in Mumbai, Delhi and NYC. Also, we shared hijab vs no hijab and star wars costume too! The latest addition to the bandwagon is actor Varun Pruthi’s video ’10 hours of walking in Delhi as a woman-jeans vs Indian dress’. Although the concept might not be very interesting but the message it tries to convey is very powerful. This video challenges the mindset of the people.

In this video the lady is seen strolling through the streets of Delhi for 10 hours. The lady is seen wearing jeans and a tank top in the first half of the video. Guys start circling her, ogling at her and pass comments. And in the next 5 hours she silently walks wearing an Indian dress, but to everyone’s surprise receives the same kind of reaction as she did before.Watch: Is Mumbai really safe for a woman in a mini skirt? Or is this video fake!

This video is an eye opener that it is indeed not the clothes that a women wears that provokes the men to catcall them of tease them. In both the scenario when the girl was dressed in a traditional outfit and western she was ogled at from top to bottom and catcalled over 100 times during the 10 hour walk.

This video challenges the mentality and mindset of the people who think that the kind of clothes a woman wears leads to the tragic consequences she has to face. The clothes one wears need not determine what she has to go through on a daily basis. Rather it’s the mindset of the people that leads to objectification of women. If men don’t look for women with a lustful approach no one is going to get eve teased or catcalled. No woman has to rethink about stepping out in western clothes. Even when someone steps down on the streets in revealing clothes, she is not asking for it.
