Uniform.Dress.Code-The.High.Road
time.for.our.leaders.to.look.smart
western.to.office.is.state.of.art
the.Chinese, Japanese, Koreans
they.are.smart.and.trim, why.not.Indians?
Kejriwal, Naidu..lead.the.pack
their.image, neatly.trousered, nothing.lacks
kurta-pyjama.clad, he.met.Trudeau
to.be.PM.is.Rahul, at.all, due?
Indian.wear-dhoti, kurta -is.fine
for.religion, home, that.is.my.line
even.for.poll.campaigns
where.it.assures.handsome.gains
why.carry.symbols.to.office, on.sleeves?
discard.labels.and, sigh.of.relief, heave
some.wear.fancy.FabIndia.dresses
a.ramp.show? let.smiles.be.suppressed
religion, region, language, dress...to.fore?
they.should.get.their.due, nothing.more
let.differences.be.suppressed
a.compulsive.disorder, we.seem.obsessed
to.start.with, a.uniform.dress.code
for.us.to.take, that.is.the.high.road
