Hello my dear unknown friends,

Coming to the topic, beauty contest's not lead to make degrade of women character & behaviour. Its the things will improve our responsibilities, actually to say. Let us to discuss regarding to Indian culture, most of them put their attention to follow the western culture, means wearing foreign brand clothes instead of our Indian tradition dresses, this is why because means they are interested to attract everyone's contact with their culture. I possible to them only by conducting number of beauty contests.

Same type of contests if we conduct their is chance to grab the neighborhood countries. Up to 18th century India more wealthy than the other countries, when we started to follow the foreigners culture instead of our Indian traditional culture its lead to us to fall in backward & also our dependence on other countries increased. The only remedy is to, we also have impose our culture throughout the world by conducting different beauty contest's & also government & media also have encourage by their support.

It is wrong to accuse the beauty pageants as vulgar display of body.

They are playing an important part in the emancipation of the Indian women, who has after centuries woken up to her natural charm. Such contests give weight-age to personality and knowledge, besides physical beauty. Its the vulgarity of mind who thinks it as degrading of women hood.

In my way beauty contests are not degrading womanhood. It is opportunity to women who are talented and interested to show their abilities. But coming to dressing we are having some limits and culture so, some rounds should be changed. Otherwise it is a great chance to show their hidden talents.

I'm against this contest because it's distracting the attentions of our sisters. For example, I lived with a girl who was very clever and intelligent in school but later joined the beauty contest. After some time she became perfect but because of the awards she won and other gifts she was given, she ends up dropping school. Since she was not opportune to move from her town to another, she later got discouraged and became a dropout.

Well, it all depends upon choice whether its beauty contest or quiz contest. The place where one can prove its mettle is an appropriate place.

Definitly beauty contest is the good platform for the women to show their hidden talents. In beauty contest they not only see their beauty but also their talent of communication, cofidences, and way of talking. I don't think that beauty contest are degrading the womenhood.

Beauty contests are actually not degrading womanhood or our culture. Its just that we like to become someone in life and when we get a better platform its human nature to urge into it and discover themselves. There are people who just expose themselves in the name of beauty but that alone does not count right?People from various circumstances get to know about everyone around them and every happening around them. So I share that it is one of the ways for a woman to explore herself and in no way it degrades womanhood!

In my point of view beauty contest does not degrade womanhood because it is a field and people who are interested and having talent are participating in that. We don't have any rights to talk about others interest and at the same time it has some danger also.

Hello,

I don't think beauty contests are degrading womanhood but instead its main purpose is to bring out their womanhood to the world. Having lived in a patriarchal society for most of the history, beauty contests serve as a very apt platform for women to assure their place in the society as a confident and equal gender.

The main resentment for most arises due to what has been made of these contests with all the makeup, body figures etc that has laid the ground for several insecurities and ideas in the minds of younger women of the way a woman should look like. But I am sure that the intelligent people, both men and women, will not be intrigued by them and would know how to be comfortable in their own skin, for everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Hi Friends,

I thinks beauty contests are not degrading womanhood they are a platform for women to come forward. In country like India where people thinks that women are not cable enough to meat the necessities this things helps them to prove them wrong.

It also encourages the women to express there view and show their qualities. We can also use these kind of contests to show the culture through dressing sense to the world. Many winner of such contest are ideals of other.
