Indian singing legend KJ Yesudas
has said women should not wear jeans because they are sexually
provocative, spurring the ire of women's groups in the southern
Indian state of Kerala.
Yeudas, popular for singing Indian classical and devotional
songs, said that wearing jeans was "against Indian culture" and
provoked "undesirable" behaviour.
His comments prompted several groups to lead protest
marches in the state capital, Trivandrum.
"Women should not wear jeans and trouble others. You should
dress modestly and do not behave like men," the singer told a
gathering at the Swati Thirunal College of Music in the state
capital, Trivandrum, on Thursday.
