Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

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.

Saree is still worn on a normal routine day by many Indian women. There are then those Indian women who drape sarees only on special occasions like weddings and religious festivals and ceremonies.

Indian men like men in other parts of world rarely wear traditional attires on daily basis. Kurta pajama is worn either as night wear or again on specific occasions. So it's women only who are still wearing the traditional dresses.

What movies and TV shows portray realistic beauty standards?

Oh! I am sorry the question asked why Indian women have stopped wearing sarees and my answer is telling that why Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses.

They themselves find sarees and salwar suits more comfortable than western clothing. Wearing jeans and top in hot and humid weather can be torturous. A cotton saree or cotton salwar suit is more comfortable.

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.
