What is this western Vs. Indian? It is a small world now where even the very concept of nationhood is being questioned in the political discourse.
Why should one stictch and cut and cut and stitch saree. grab a trouser, a denim, a cargo, put on shirt and T shirts and fly off ..you save time, you have greater mobility and you do not look dull as Indian traditional men seems to be claiming that only Saree makes women look beautiful. And why the hell women should care for such beauty which only panders to the tastes of men. If she thinks she is beautiful and smart in a dress which gives her greater freedom to move easily, she is beautiful all the same whether a man thinks her to be beautiful or not. There are no fixed standards of beauty.
Look Dhoti and Lungi has only 2 -3 steps to wear but Saree how many?
Women would wear what they wish to wear! Men can keep cribbing, though not all men crib.
Even in Rural Areas of South India, Salwar Kameez is becoming the norms rather than exception. So whether woman wears a Saree or skirts or pants, it is her choice....she will wear all these according to her moods, and wish.
