We read Chinese Cinderella at school. I know it’s not Indian but it’s still another culture Actually, the Cinderella story is very old and has hundreds, even thousands of variations across various cultures and time periods.The story of Rhodopis is considered to be one of the earliest variants of Cinderella and comes from Ancient Greece. The tale of Ye Xian, aka the Chinese Cinderella, dates from around 860 AD. There is a Japanese Cinderella story that dates from the 13th century. There’s a Vietnamese variant, an Iranian variant, and a whole bunch that pop up in One Thousand and One Nights. Like seriously, it’s all over the place. I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually was an Indian variant of Cinderella but I just haven’t heard of it.Give me Cinderella in a Shalwar Kameez or give me deathInstead of a fluffy ball gown she can have a fluffy patiala shalwarI’d love to see a desi cinderella where she’s wearing her old churidars the whole time and in the transformations sequence she gets a beautiful sari Please can we have ALL the fairy tales in non Disney-whitebread cultures please please - I mean hell yes non-white ones, but even other white cultures too please? Imagine Cinderella in Ukrainian traditional dress?There’s a lovely Czech tv version of the Cinderella tale for example, called Tři oříšky pro Popelku (Three Wishes for Cinderella) in which Cinders drags up as a young huntsman (damn she looks fine too - I don’t have a better pic right now) and is cheeky af and has three amazing dresses that come out of magic nuts. But fuck yes more poc in fairy tale films please! -- source link
