Stephen College's boys vow misogyny'

“Pinjra Todâ€, a group of female students fighting against discriminatory hostel rules for girls, condemned the event.

New Delhi: A group of boys at the prestigious St Stephen’s College pledging to promote “misogyny” and “philandering” on Valentine’s Day has raised eyebrows of authorities who are mulling action.

Boys from the Allnutt hostel block, who are part of Allnutt North Gentlemen’s Association (ANGA), took the oath on February 14 at the hostel campus in a brief “ceremony” which the students say is part of an “old-age Stephanion tradition”.

The video of the oath ceremony is doing rounds on social media, driving criticism for St Stephen’s authorities for having permitted such an event.

“We the people of ANGA, have solemnly resolved to constitute ANGA into a paramount egalitarian fellowship and to secure to all its members-justice, social, sexual and sentimental liberty-to philander exclusively with men, equality of status and opportunity and to promote among them all misogyny assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of ANGA. Hail ANGA!”, the students are heard saying in chorus in the video.
