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 point of view the beauty contests are degrading womanhood because all the woman has their own beauty if the contest is made it seems that other women are not beauty.

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.

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.

The reputed beauty contests not only judge the physical beauty but also the mental beauty of the contestants. The same contests has given Indian cinema personalities like Nafisa Ali, Zeenat Aman, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen and many more who not only contributed to our cinema but are socially active also. They are role models of many girls. So saying that beauty contests are degrading womanhood is totally wrong.

Beauty contest is not degrading womanhood, Everyone in the world wants to look smart and now in modern time every one is conscious about his or her dressing sense. Even a girl child wants to wear new and fashionable dress and what's wrong with that these modern outfit boosts a sense of confidence to you. Then why there is issues are made on this topic as far womanhood is concerned it depends on upbringing and culture of society which reflects beauty of a woman.

In my point of you beauty contrast is not degrading women wood. Because of women get a great opportunity to express our great talent and our confidence in front of different great peoples. Don't think in bad view because of its a one of the art for womens. Participate in beauty contest is our own interest so we are not to avoid and degrading those feelings and interests.
They know what to do and what not to do. I'm giving one example to all i.e., I have so much of interest to participate in beauty contrast but I don't know how to express my feelings. So its my fault. So from this example we understand some of the womens only having this talent so encourage them. Finally a very thankful to all viewers.

I would like to state that beauty contest is degrading women as fashion is important but at a limit, limit must not be crossed even if its about increasing your beauty or improving the way of dressing style. This style has been crossed in beauty contest. Let us take an example you might have observed that there is new kind of eye fashion by bordering your eye with many makeup products, can that be followed in your day to day life or any party. You would surely not. And more over internal beauty is important than external one. Your behaviour matters more than your makeover.

As per my view I think its not degrading the woman's prestigious. Because woman's are the important part of this earth. Some things are to be explored by woman's only like that some by men. But mens have to required change their mentality towards women's on ramp. They are exploring the things with great manner which men can't.

Hai friends!
Beauty contests are not degrading womanhood. They are the one way to women to explore their talent to outside world.
They are not only for physical appearance, but also to show their social awareness, attitude towards the society.
