From Black Robes to Vibrant Indian Fabric
Vidhu Sekhar P

In a significant move towards decolonizing educational institutions, the Indian government has initiated a cultural revolution in convocation dress codes. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has recently instructed central government medical teaching institutes to incorporate Handloom, Indian designs, and Khadi into their ceremonial attire, shedding the colonial legacy of black robes and caps.

Institutes will now drape the attire featuring traditional Indian designs, handwoven on indigenous looms, and crafted from Khadi. This decision aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's five resolutions (Panch Pran) and aims to shed the colonial legacy, which originated in Europe during the Middle Ages.
