Dresses For Indian Girls Biography
Many of the clothes that we wear at home are not appropriate for India, either in terms of the climate or in terms of the culture. As far as the culture is concerned, India is not a country where you can safely go around dressed as most of us do in the West, so it’s important to be familiar with the Indian dress code and the reasons behind it. Many styles of dress that are perfectly acceptable in the West are downright offensive to most Indians. For this reason, you’ll probably be better off buying clothes once you arrive. What a great excuse to go shopping!Whether you believe it should or not, how you dress profoundly affects how people respond to you—and this is perhaps even more the case in India than in most other countries. Women who dress and act modestly are much more highly regarded than those who flout the cultural norms, and they are safer from sexual harassment. On the other hand, wearing clothing that is indecent by Indian standards is insulting to the culture, and it also gives men the idea that you are available for sexual favors to anyone who wants you-even if your behavior emphatically indicates the opposite.

People sometimes feel that my advice is too conservative because ‘everybody’ dresses in a certain way that is far less modest than I’ve mentioned, but on closer examination, I find that their idea of ‘everybody’ is virtually always quite limited. Context is everything and it can’t be ignored.

So who is ‘everybody’? Visitors often fail to think of the local people as part of their ‘everybody’. But it’s not just visitors. Many Indians are disinclined to include anyone belonging to classes they consider as lower than themselves. Who do you normally include as part of your ‘everybody’One of the questions I often get asked over at my India travel site by women coming to India is, “How to dress?”. In this suggested packing list, I advise that it’s a good idea to keep legs and shoulders covered. I also mention that cities such as Mumbai and Delhi are fast becoming very westernised (this post shows just how westernised), and you’ll see people wearing jeans and t-shirts. However, in smaller cities and villages, people still dress conservatively.
One Indian reader responded and said that these days, even in smaller towns and villages women and girls wear jeans, t-shirts, pants, sleeveless dresses, and skirts.
That maybe so, but is it a good idea to dress in such a manner, or does it invite trouble?
Once again, there has been quite an uproar about women’s dress standards in India, this time prompted by a number of remarks made by people in positions of power.
The remark that first stirred the pot came from the director of police in Andhra Pradesh, V Dinesh Reddy, in regards to why the police had failed to stem the rising number of rapes (shockingly, more than three a day in 2011) and murder. He blamed women for dressing provocatively by wearing “flimsy and fashionable” dresses, and claimed that police had no control over these rapes
