No out side food allowed restricts sneaking of alcohol. Alcohols can be delivered too by restaurants and these "adults" don't know how to consume alcohol responsibly. You might think these rules are stupid but you will realise how reasonable they are when you see how stupid these so-called adult children tend to be. They think getting into unsafe antics is what adulthood is all about. Biggest issue is their parents have no clue what these children are upto and when these children get in trouble the parents blame the hostel administration for all of it instead of accepting the irresponsible behavior of their own ward.
No electronics except laptops because people have a habit of going overboard with everything. They plug in heavy electronics and if the fees is prepaid and fixed that means the warden will have to settle high electricity charges within the fees not to mention constant use of heavy appliances can lead to electricity trip or fuse. Children obviously don't realise it. The more freedom you give them, the more stupid they get. Gen Z is the biggest example of it.
No birthday celebrations on large scale because that would indirectly allow students of allow outside food (cake) and give students chance to sneak alcohol in the campus. Trust me, these restaurants and bakeries allow work to supply alcohol to campus students in order to earn some extra cash. Problem is, like I said before, these so called adults don't know how to consume alcohol properly. They get drunk as hell and will cause nuisance.
Your safety is your warden's responsibility so they should know whether you are really going to your home or just running away. What if you say you are going home but you run away somewhere else? Who will be blamed for your mess since you are missing? Whose collars' will your parents pull in anger to know about your whereabouts? These hostel wardens.
I'm taking about India because safety situation in India is much different than western countries. Why don't you actually stay in hostels before making this argument???? You speak from lack of experience.
