Veenu Sandhu's article was very touching. However I beg to differ with her opinion that the controls are always for reinforcing a patriarchal social order that aims to confine and set limits on girls in the guise that they are intended for their own good.
Considering the order of the day, and taking into account the Nirbhaya & other very ugly incidents, there is no doubt that students in hostels are in the care & responsibility of the managements. Its a very delicate & difficult responsibility.
