U'khand CM refuses to wear 'colonial' robes at convocation
Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Singh Rawat on Monday refused to wear a robe at a convocation ceremony, describing it as a relic of the colonial era. "The country should take pride in its ancestors, its ancient wisdom and culture and should not give up its root," Rawat said. Other dignitaries including HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, however, wore robes during the ceremony.
