And also for the detailed account you mentioned in your comment.<br /><br />I think the way a population dresses and behaves changes with times. The change may be due to a variety of reasons. And it does not happen overnight but takes years and centuries to change. So the people who label something as being the culture since ever are wrong.<br /><br />Reading your comment, I could relate again that how a woman chose to dress what not as per her wishes even 150 years back. She had to dress as per she was told. And it seems to be the same even now.<br /><br />But as much as being topless is concerned, I don't think the Indian society is matured enough to be okay if a woman decides to go topless. It is absolutely cemented in the mindset of our society that skin-show = sex = wrong.

Do you know around a 150 years ago, women in Kerala (and I am sure, a little earlier in all other parts of India) never wore blouses? The British introduced the blouse in Kerala (and also in Bengal, where it was considered fashionable to wear a blouse). <br /><br /><a href="http://adayinthelifeofindia.blogspot.com/2010/08/women-law-and-nudity.html" rel="nofollow">Some 150 years back the women in kerala launched a feminist revolt for the right to cover their breast, women in kerala were not allowed to cover their breast; mostly this rule was applicable to lower caste women, when someone from higher caste would come she should show her breast to cover ones breast was considered a sign of immodesty. Brahmin women can cover their breast while venturing out but at home they had to be topless, shatriya women cant cover breast infront of brahmins and lower cast women couldnt cover breast infront of anyone. The cloth worn on lower part couldnt be lower than the knee.<br /><br />I think in most of ancient india women generally were topless, there are some mention about this is kamasutra. If you think about the climate in india, generealy hot and humid most of the time, i would say being topless is the right way.<br />Coming back to kerala, what lead to the change in the topless trend was apparently the contact with the brits. Some people converted to christianity and as per european standards started wearing upper body garments, the higher caste people beat the shit out of such women, slowly the contact with britishers and rest of india made topless out of fashion, women started feeling ashamed of being topless, it made them feel inferior.</a><br /><br /><br />"Coming back to kerala, what lead to the change in the topless trend was apparently the contact with the brits."<br />The same thing happened in Nagaland, in Mr Balvinder's post ( http://balvindersingh.blogspot.com/2009/02/journey-continues-to-nagaland.html ). Today we claim this is our culture! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162813262147211598.post-9234881813787531272012-08-27T01:39:30.990+05:302012-08-27T01:39:30.990+05:30Magus :

Though you have pointed out a valid point that sarees expose more skin than many other dresses. But a saree is considered okay just because it is Indian in origin.<br /><br />The main point is that the Indian society isn't mature enough to simply mind its own business instead of caring about how a female dresses herself. And I don't see it maturing anytime soon. :-/Shobhithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808758234754141383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162813262147211598.post-79083673567794863502012-08-26T23:03:31.456+05:302012-08-26T23:03:31.456+05:30lolz...:Dlolz...:DViverehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447064807164319929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162813262147211598.post-50466954844876861902012-08-26T19:35:15.636+05:302012-08-26T19:35:15.636+05:30Have you seen the new Scooty Pep advertisement?
