[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 140535, member: 14194"] Findingmyway ji I agree with your comments and that is the experience also of females in our families. Just some thoughts if it adds to the dialog. [LIST] [*]Both males/females [LIST] [*]Modesty is the guiding principle for most occasions [LIST] [*]Some examples of immodesty for [I][U]general attendance[/U][/I] [LIST] [*]Male adults [LIST] [*]Wearing open shirts showing chest hair [*]Wearing excessive body ornaments [LIST] [*]Long chains showing above the shirts or through open shirts [*]Tveets (little metal like pendants usually with ashes) from some kirya karam and bhamin, babey garbage [*]Ear rings [*]Excessive rings on fingers/toes [*]Excessive arm bracelets [/LIST] [*]Wearing “cholas” (open flowing cloth shirt which goes to just below your knees) with little leg covering with pajamas (indian pants) [*]Wearing “kashera” derived contraptions going below knees (common with some babeys, etc.) with hairy legs showing below [/LIST] [*]Female adults [LIST] [*]Wearing low cut top shirts [*]Wearing semi transparent tops [*]Wearing low cut jeans [*]Wearing extremely tight fitting jeans and tops [/LIST] [*]There is more leeway for the kids as for them it is more a social, cultural and a religious play ground [LIST] [*]Doesn’t mean you don’t encourage them to behave [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]Special occasions [LIST] [*]For example for weddings, birthdays and such occasions, some exuberance in what you wear is perceived as normal [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] Following from way back post by Ishna ji, [COLOR=Red]“About 15 minutes later I spoke the the woman who was my guide for the day. Independant of the conversation I had just had with the girls, she said something like this, "Are you coming next weekend, and if so shall I bring you a salwar kameez to try on, if you don't mind my preference of colour? You might feel more comfortable in one...." I was rather stunned by her frankness.”[/COLOR] [LIST] [*]Some observations [LIST] [*]There is extreme accommodation and understanding generally for people attending with different cultural backgrounds [*]These are not my comments but from female members of my family where they say a western woman wearing or trying Indian clothes, [LIST] [*]The comments are generally very complimentary [LIST] [*]Look how beautiful she looks [*]That color of dress looks so good on her [*]Culturally many are not exposed to such situations and many will try to “help out” and at times it might appear as though “they are putting demands or looking for conformance” [LIST] [*]Sometimes their inner thoughts may be "wow" she will look so gorgeous in such and such color/pattern [*]It is not a statement that what you wearing is not good [/LIST] [*]Obviously we cannot generalize and there may be some who are not as generous and are picky [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] [/LIST] Hope the comments are still current or appropriate this being a very old thread.
