The clip was first shared on X with the caption, "If this is IIT, then we are done." The comment received backlash as several users defended the student, pointing out the toxic mindset of judging someone for simply enjoying a college fest.
The discussion also highlighted how some right-wing social media handles try to dictate women's lives, from their clothes to their behaviour. Users pointed out the hypocrisy of celebrating such dance numbers in films while shaming a student for doing the same on campus.
One user noted that wearing shorts and a shirt is no different from men wearing half pants and a vest at home. Still, a section of internet users condemned the performance as vulgar, proving how regressive attitudes continue to shape public opinion.
Though the video is not recent, the reactions around it have reignited debate about women's freedom in Indian campuses. The incident shows how a simple act of dancing can expose the persistent double standards in society.
