Till the seventies of yester century, women of indian origin, working in offices, wore sarees and full sleeved blouses as dress code in offices regardless of whatever dress they would wear at home or when studying in college. women from anglo-indian community however wore mini skirts which was permitted to them alone.
even towards the late seventies, indian-origin women started wearing sleeveless blouses to offices.
the eighties witnessed the onslaught of chudidaar-kameez in offices, among indian women.
during nineties, indian-origin women started wearing dress like westerners, they started wearing full pants, jeans, sleeveless t-shirts to work in offices. some women even attend interviews in that dress and got selected while men were still sporting ties during interviews.
in the 21st century, sarees are confined only to occasions like ethnic dress day etc. even during such occasions the norm/trend was to wear blouses fully exposing the back.
in the first of half of the second decade of 21st century, sleeves partly showing the flesh was the trend and became a norm.
in recent times, women especially in IT Companies, major and minor, as if it is a rule, wear dress exposing the cleavage. it is a common scene especially in metros.
the parents of these women don't object.
even the only it company which had strict dress-code has fully relaxed its dress code policy and has permitted its staff to wear any dress to office.
where is our indian (women) dress culture heading to!!!
we wax eloquent about varied indian heritage, the greatness of our culture.
what is the intent and purpose of following this trend?
is it indian-women's culture and heritage to seduce and to tempt men?
