I guess both kind would have been there, the majority being the conservative kinds.


I agree both kinds were there but majority we're Orthodox. More so in marwari families. I remember in late ninties also After certain age girls were only allowed to wear suits and after marriage only saarees.

Agree. I lived on a small town but I relate more with Shefali

Well, some families were very orthodox even in the 90s. So I'm not surprised by Taiji's actions.

A lot of families were changing their outlook and a girl's career was becoming important, but traditional families also existed. That decade was an era of change for India... Change was faster in big metros but in the second tier towns like Ahmedabad, it was definitely slower.

Even I went to college in the 90s and till late 90s, maybe even later, only suits were allowed for girls, not even jeans. And I remember seeing some girls, who belonged to very traditional families, all pinned up. Though they were studying in a professional college the family's outlook was very orthodox.

At the same time I had friends who wore skirts and jeans outside college, and had boy firends. So it was definitely a mixed bag then. 😃

Yep it sure was a mixed bag! I would say that the point of view was again beautifully penned aardhan. Yeah my family was quite liberal..Thank God for that...but I had some friends not many though who had very conservative parents.

Thanks a lot. I was/ am blessed with a liberal family too, especially when it came to education. Boys and girls were equal in my family and we all were encouraged to be career oriented. And i think a big reason was my parent's generation in my family were well educated themselves, so education was top priority. So, when I see someone like Taiji, who is not educated, her views and actions don't surprise me.
