Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Well, for me it's more surprising that Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses rather than why some have stopped wearing them altogether.

No doubt ghaghra choli or lehangas aren't as common now. They are worn only on special occasions like weddings, festivals and some religious events.

Another surprising fact is that salwar kameez or Punjab suits are also still worn by a lot of Indian women on almost daily basis.

Wearing of traditional dresses till date by Indian women is surprising for two reasons for me.

Some are hesitant to try the western dresses (mostly older age groups).

How can one select funeral songs that truly celebrate the essence of a loved one’s life while providing comfort to attendees?

That's me wearing an Indian outfit for a movie. Maybe my grandchildren or great grandchildren would be surprised that we wore traditional clothes for such outings or as on office wear.

The reason why Indian women are still wearing sarees and salwar kameez is that

The cultural upbringing or the restrictions by family don't allow them to wear western dresses.

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?
