The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore on witnessed a unique protest on Wednesday, an entire batch of students wearing shorts! The reason? NLSIU professor, V Nagaraj on Monday made an objectionable remark on a female student for wearing a short dress to his lecture.

The student complained that Nagaraj went on to cast aspersions on the students character for voicing her concerns.

He didn't stop his sexist remark there.

“We all know why parents marry their children off - so that they can have sex. Just because the parents marry off their children for this reason, it does not mean that the children have sex in front of their parents,” Nagaraj reportedly said after the student raised objection on his remark to "dress properly".

As a mark of protest, the entire third year LLB students wore shorts to his class on Wednesday.

The students also stood up in protest and demanded an apology from professor Nagaraj. However he refused to apologise and the lecture did not take place. Students have also registered a formal complaint against him with the university vice-chancellor. Professor Nagaraj however rejected the allegations raised against him.

“Nothing like [what is described in the statement] happened. Students are making false and baseless allegations. It is for the university authorities to examine this incident. This is the first time that students have made such a statement [whereas] I have been teaching for 27 years,” Legally India quoting professor Nagaraj reported.

He also confirmed that there was no written dress code for students in NLSIU’s rules currently but he has asked the university administration to issue clarifications about the dress code to the students, especially keeping in mind that “certain decorum” is expected from students attending lectures taken “especially by a senior faculty member”.
