Priyanka Chopra in a sari on the cover of InStyle Magazine - July 2019 - Page 3

What she said...that most Indian outfits are christmas trees and so sparkly etc and that she wants to show the world how Indian fashion really is modern and shit. Also, that her mother wore saree but that of french chiffon and Dior perfume... I just have to say one thing. WANNABE. Why is she so insecure of her Indian heritage? Why this inferiority complex? If she thinks sequins and sparkles are so gaudy then why wear a sparkly saree in the very next cover? Don't people in the west wear sequins and sparkles? They wear even more than us in fact because that's what is normally worn for parties or for glamour. Pata nahi kyun these people are so ashamed of where they come from.

Nobody is rocking the sari without a blouse or bra. There are some shocking variations of what a blouse is but its still there. It just seems like a piece of cloth thrown on her in the name of skinshow. I dont think westerners identify with a sari being worn like this. Yea she's having fun and its for a cover but for a video and to have her bouncing around with a net fabric is a bit risky.

Priyanka ke fans se debate ka koi fayeda nahi hai. Saree was worn without a blouse in Bengal by common people, that's true. Humne bhi padha hai history lessons mein. BUT wo toh sirf Bengal mein tha na. Koi bhi historical trivia lake chipka dia inhone. This is what I found in wiki ----

History of sari-like drapery is traced back to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which flourished during 2800–1800 BC around the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent.[4][5][6] Cotton was first cultivated and woven in Indian subcontinent around 5th millennium BC.[16] Dyes used during this period are still in use, particularly indigo, lac, red madder and turmeric.[17] Silk was woven around 2450 BC and 2000 BC.[18][19]

The word 'sari' evolved from 'sattika' mentioned in earliest Jain and Buddhist literature as women's attire.[20][12] The Sari or Sattika evolved from a three-piece ensemble comprising the Antriya, the lower garment; the Uttariya; a veil worn over the shoulder or the head; and the Stanapatta, a chestband.

--- In the last line, they say they used to wear chest band. That would be a blouse. Also, saree is apparently originated from Indus Valley Civilisation which was millenia ago and I think the sculptures from ancient history show blouse or something strapped on the breasts? Definitely the british didn't invade then to tell the Indians to start wearing a blouse LOL

For the smartasses here

This is from 1600 CE.

This is the problem with blind Priyanka bashers. They know little and argue with little knowledge and know-it-all attitude.

It was not only the Bengali women who used to wear saree with out blouse . It was the same in South as well. There are ample examples across many temple spanning over all the northern states , where women has been sculpted in the walls as topless with their breast uncovered and only in some of them a loose piece of clothes worn like dupatta or odni , NOT tied across the chest or covering the breast. The famous sculptures of khajuraho ( MP ) , Konark , Lingaraj temple ( orissa) , sun temple of Gujrat ... one state yeah right. Why people bother opening their mouth when they are little informed??

Lastly , Tagore family women didn't usher in practice of wearing blouses with saree just in Bengal , but in India. This family was held in high esteem from a cultural point of view across the country, which enabled them to have such an influence.

I'd also like to attach this article by BBC that discusses the advent of blouse within Indian style and fashion.

Next time you jump at me , open some books and please do some background checking.

P.s. I'm not a PC fan .

Tex

Anyone with typing ability can Google the name of these temples , that are prominent, ancient and very very well known as part of Indian heritage and history and scroll through hundreds of pictures to see for themselves.

Really, doesn't even have to be these temples. Any ancient Indian temple basically portrays the women with out blouse .

So there's actually no need to post selective pictures that serves the fake agenda with no proper source link of authenticity.

Priyanka makes everything look so vulgar so effortlessly. I have never seen someone looking so vulgar in a saree without blouse.
