While you are all losing your mind over ‘cultural appropriation” of an Indian dress, nobody actually consulted THE INDIANS. In our country, if a foreigner wears an Indian saree, we actually appreciate it. It shows that the foreigner respects us enough to try our clothes. And the saree, mind you, is not a religious thing. Hindus can wear sarees, Muslims can wear sarees, Sikh’s can wear sarees, Jain’s can wear sarees and so on. Like Americans have short dresses, compare that with sarees. Going to a party? Saree. Going to temple? Saree, and so on. Some Indians wear it, some don’t. Some hate it and think its oppressing, some love embracing the unique style. Point is, don’t hate on her for wearing this. Don’t hate on anyone for wearing sarees or any variations of sarees. We love to see others embracing our culture. Why do you think we open our gates to allow everyone to practice yoga and find spiritual meaning? Culture is not meant to be kept within four walls, it should be spread. I did not know this. That is really interesting to find out. Thanks for the information. “Culture is not meant to be kept within four walls, it should be spread.” -- source link
