[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 140132, member: 189"] Well I WILL answer the remaining 2 . 1. The Traditional Kachhera is of a special DESIGN that makes it virtually impossible to show any "immodesty" no matter what the position. IF correctly sewed and design is followed, the ring around the thigh fits so well the leg can be carried as high as possible but nothing will show ( that which shouldnt be shown). Even UPSIDE DOWN !! And the multiple folds keep everything under cover. In the olden days 9 my prents)..the kachera or the salwaar..would need an entire length of DRYING STRING all by themsleves. Once my dad's kachera flew over the fence due to a strong wind and the neighbour brought it back to our doorstep..saying..Your dad's MOTOR CYCLE COVER fell into my compound !! Thats how BIG those kacheras used to be...but then those days men didnt wear pants to office..and a large bulge of folded cloth inside a tight jeans can be pretty difficult to accomodate...so modern kacheras are also lighter..and less bulky !! 2. The Naala..draw string..is optional ( the Lazy man/woman's rubber band..etc can be used IF one cannot/doesnt wnat to//learn the KNOT tying or is always in a HURRY !! Nothing offends Maryada here..(IMHO anyway )... 3. The Third...one leg in and one leg in.."maryada" stems from being ALWAYS PREPARED !!....even in the BATHROOM. Battle Stations 24/7. Something like what the Firemen do when the Alarm rings...they have special metal poles they use to shinny down form the upper floors...same thing here...a SIKH with a WET Kachera is VUNERABLE....and one who has Completely REMOVED a wet one and hasnt yet changed to a dry one is asking for trouble IF the ALARM SOUNDS !!! RIGHT ?? Hnece the rule..One leg in..one leg OUT !! MINIMUM EXPOSURE to being UNPREPARED to EXIT the Bath at a split seconds notice. Some diehards to this rule..even have a SPARE Kachera strapped to a DEAD SIKH inside the Kaffan Wrapping before the body is cremated ( presemuably so he wont be caught with a wet kachera in that place ??..How the kacheras reach that place..dont ask me..i havent been there yet ......all those I saw..burned right at the cremation ground together with the body, kirpan and all). So its your choice...how far you can go....or want to go...its up to YOU. [/QUOTE]
