Lucknow, Aug. 28: Culture and tourism minister Mahesh Sharma has advised foreign tourists to avoid wearing skirts in India. They (foreign tourists) should wear dresses in accordance with the same." He said the government was handing welcome kits to foreign tourists at airports and these included a booklet with a list of dos and don'ts. But advice on keeping out skirts altogether without any qualifying riders is not common. It will also raise questions whether the country is so unsafe that the mere sight of women in skirts can provoke untoward incidents.
