CIA 3 English Language and Composition

Presented by: Protikhya & Rinki

 Introduction
From the simple dhoti of Mahatma
Gandhi and tailored bandhgalas of
Jawaharlal Nehru to Mamata
Banerjee’s trademark blue-and-white
cotton sari and Arvind Kejriwal’s
muffler, politicians’ choice of clothes

and accessories have often gone

beyond reflecting their sartorial sense,
becoming a window to their
philosophy and belief system

Clothes play an essential part in keeping alive the old myth

of politicians as men of the people dedicated to the people.
If politicians are what they wear, where does one find the
real person?
 Gandhi
under
Mahatma Gandhi may have or
overdressed?
been seen as ‘indecently
dressed’ during his movements
abroad, but he nevertheless
made a mark through his attire.
Gandhi, who was always clad in
a dhoti, was quite infamously
labelled “the half-naked fakir” by
Winston Churchill. Gandhi’s
humble and profoundly effective
khadi attire symbolised humility
and ahimsa,.
Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
earned himself the
moniker of ‘muffler man’,
thanks to his trademark
woollen scarf. His topi
during the Jantar Mantar
and Ram Leela Maidan
protests also resonated
with the common man.
Rahul gandhi
Khadi in India is worn to
connect with the people.
Rahul Gandhi has worn
shirts with jeans, which
helps him connect with a
younger audience,
especially when he is
sporting a young and lively
image in a kurta-pyjama
and sneakers visiting
universities and colleges,
Narendra Modi
Narendra Modi, who always
remains in the news for his
styling, and has sometimes
even received flak for it. Modi,
who likes to localise his style to
the places he visits, has often
worn traditional Indian attire,
business suits with apt
headgear and colourful
scarves.
Ethos analysis
Ethos, in rhetoric, the character or emotions of a
speaker or writer that are expressed in the attempt
to persuade an audience. Ethos is established
because of the author's extreme credibility,which
is dominant in this piece. Sunanda K. Datta-Ray is
a journalist from India. He has written for the
International Herald Tribune and Time, as well as
being the editor of The Statesman. Because this
essay is made up of many facts, the author
becomes increasingly trustworthy as the article
proceeds. He explains about how every Indian
politician, from under-dressed Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi to over-dressed Narendra
Damodardas Modi, has been conscious of his or
her appearance. And even not getting dressed is a
type of dressing.
Pathos is defined as arousing emotion in the audience in order to
persuade them to make the desired decision. In this speech, the
writer used pathos to evoke applause from the audience by
stating that in our more pragmatic world, politicians alone are
deemed worthy of the crores of rupees that hard-pressed
taxpayers are forced to squander on their salaries, housing, travel,
entertainment, staff, pensions, foreign jaunts, and other
expenses, No one will agree with Aristotle's definition of
democracy as "a government in the hands of men of low birth, no
property, and vulgar employments".
A speaker's attempt to appeal to the audience's logic
or reason can be viewed as logos. Sunanda K Datta
Ray uses statistics to show that Indian politicians are
so concerned about what they dress for a reason.
Every piece of political clothing is a disguise.
Demonstrating how, for example, the muffler around
Arvind Kejriwal's head is politically invaluable. It's
designed to make a Ramon Magsaysay award-
winning, US-trained former Additional Commissioner
of Income Tax with a wife who is still a senior officer in
the Indian Revenue Service appear like the fabled
aam aadmi .

 conclusion
Politics knows no dress code. Although people running for public office
should know that to get the part you have to look, speak and be the part.
Sometimes being casual or smart casual, in the right setting, helps a
political candidate appear more willing to listen – more approachable if
you will. When campaigning and debating, proper professional attire is
required.

Many politicians fail to realize that society does look at what they wear
but not as much as they listen to the spoken words. The whole package is
what matters. Politicians are marketing themselves for a job no matter
what the setting is, and should be dressed appropriately, with some
variety, for better results.
