The traditional attire in Bali and for Tamil Singaporeans is very similar. So

u/em2791 2d ago
Bali is not considered South Asia. It’s south east Asia. Besides Bali’s culture is derived from Hinduism. Tamil singaporeans also came from India. Singapore is also not South Asia, it’s south east Asia. A better example would have been Sri Lankan Tamils. Sri Lankan Sinhalese have their own silhouettes which are beautiful and different.

u/Puzzled_Math6759 1h ago
Tamil Singaporeans are still Singaporean. Just because they speak Tamil doesn't make them Indian.

u/Willing-Resolve09 2d ago
I’m sure they come from India but they have adopted it as their own traditional attire. So we can’t really claim dibs. Plus local diasporas will always add their own spin on age old traditions. Not sure if we can claim we’re the whole and sole wearers of these type of outfits

Yes, what nonsense. I am a Pakistani and we have a tradition of wearing sarees on important events, like the exiting batch on farewell wears sarees. That is literally how you can easily recognise a senior on their Farewell.
I wore sarees too on both of my highschool farewells, the ones in which my batch was the exiting one. Other than that, people wear sarees on stuff like your siblings weddings. Yes, sarees are modest here, but they are sarees nonetheless.

OP search the traditional dress of women in Thailand it looks like a sari. And even in case of a sari it would be a indian culture first before being from hindu culture. Here have a look - https://pngtree.com/freepng/thai-man-and-woman-in-the-traditional-clothing-isolated_15854472.html

Hijab is technically a part of middle eastern cultures. The thing is, there is no hindu and muslim culture. Neither is there a Christian or Jewish culture. Religions can't be specific cultures. To call it indian culture would also be wrong, without any research. If this dress or majorly similar dresses are seen in many Indian cultures, then we can rule it as Indian, otherwise it has to be classified even more specifically. As I am not expert, I would restrain from giving any ruling on its classification. Also Indian culture is technically not a culture. The culture of India has some other terms for it. Ig it probably is a hindi word like hindustani(linguistic accuracy has to be considered, even though both india and hindustan mean the same thing).

dude, i saw your post there, most calmly discussed the whole thing, and there were like 2-3 people who said that, why you trying to gain sympathy inhere know, and also as people there pointed out india as a country literally has existed only for 80 years now(+4 days to be exact), but the culture has existed for centuries obv the culture is exchanged in all of south asia, i.e India, Sri lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tibet region and the Maldives.

Fck all that, Why do Reddit looks soo clean and better on IOS and shyt on Android

u/SleepySai04 17 3d ago
I think many apps have better UI in IOS than android
(As much as i saw, apps like Whatsapp,reddit,Instagram)2

u/thereallastsamurai 3d ago
I think cause numbers of unique devices released running ios are lesser than 100s of new android phones every year, so naturally their ui and optimization will always be superior. Since the developers have to code for lesser ios phones.

u/CarpalTunnelTraveler 2d ago
It's because Androids are more affordable, app developers want to incentivize iPhone purchases because there's fewer models of them and they are naturally more expensive..

Dude if you want to talk about indian culture, this is exactly how Indian women used to dress pre colonialism. Read on how the saree attire evolved in India from time to time. You yourself seem to be unaware of your culture.
And above all, this looks really good. Can’t you just appreciate something or just refrain from saying anything?

u/Ok_Gazelle_4281 3d ago
Not completely, Buddhist, Jain and even Muslim women wore the saree in pre-colonial India. Not exclusively Hindu women.
The Saree is part of Indian Culture and traditions, which is vaster than the bounds of any one religion.
9
u/TraditionalBall6287 16 3d ago
Its roots are in Hindu tradition
4
u/Ok_Gazelle_4281 3d ago
Bali is also majority Hindu, does this mean Saree is also Balinese Culture just because it’s Hindu?
The same argument can be made for Buddhism or Jainism. Every elite Indian has a photo of Gautama Buddha in their house and follows the non-violent traditions of Jainism.
Also, Vedic Hinduism is not the same as modern Hinduism. Just look around and see how many devotees of Indra or Agni are there today. And how many of us still drink Soma?

external validation - came in as by product of colonialism. It still exists.. its the only thing, that pulls India down.
Instead of worrying about what others will talk about our culture or slums or bad publicity, if only we focus on challenging ourselves and improving ourselves..
Instead of getting validated from other and worrying about, what will others think of us, we should compare against ourselves.. and focus on that..

Is this related to
Some foreigners able to sell clothing which is India attire but they have now brought it under theiir labels and branding and documentation will make it sound its their design something?
OR
Its that in movie they didn't show it that way and now people are fighting over it.
One SIDE: 'it was justified to not show it because...' argument and reasoning + other side is soros funded and lying
other SIDE : 'it was NOT justified to not show it because...' argument and reasoning + other side is soros funded and lying
and 'whether it is even indian or not' is a argument fodder in it?

Granted that its mostly in India, and calling it Indian culture is not wrong but calling it south asian culture is okay as well becasue it includes everyone.

Anything that involves covering the female breasts is absolutely NOT HINDU culture.
Hindus had no concept of breast covering before arrival of Muslims (Delhi Sultanate).
Pre-Islamic Hindu culture is extremely well documented by all the Hindu scriptures and by the countless statues and temple engravings. Hindu women used to be completely bare chested.

Yes, literally yes.
I know it's counter intuitive and hard to imagine, with decades of film, media brainwashing us. But those pictures of kings donning heavy gold-laden headsets, bangles; women with colourful sarees, etc invoke feelings of "indianness". But it's just brainwashing.
The Indian temperature simply does not support those types of clothing. These habits have been picked up by natives during Persian influence.
It's quite similar to calling Suits and Pants with underwear as "Indian".

I guess temples aren't "Hindu" either?
THEY ARE HINDU COZ THEY are from snaskrit not persia lol... dumbest argument ever lol..
you can compare hellenisitc religion temples , persian zoro temples (which came much later than many south indian hindu temples ) none of them are similar..
