New Delhi – Students are not required to wear black robes and caps during convocation ceremonies held in various educational institutions especially, medical colleges. The Union Health Ministry has directed all central hospitals to wear Indian attire during convocation ceremonies instead of adopting this British colonial symbol.
According to the Ministry of Health, the wearing of black robes and caps is a legacy of colonial times. This was not according to Indian culture. The dress worn at the convocation ceremony should be traditional, representing the state in which the institution is located. Now there is a need to change this colonial legacy. This decision is a step towards moving away from India’s colonial legacy.
