Had never thought about the ways in which the blouse draws these lines around 'modesty' and 'obscenity.' Made me think of the small moments/conversations around blouses that women in the family had, or even how they decided what blouse to wear themselves, and how something which was considered 'too much' at one point in time was considered stylish at another, depending on the trends and norms.

Sati practice also began in certain areas like Bengal, Rajasthan so widow wouldn’t b humiliated. Otherwise, she’s b brought into a harem. If family fought they’d b all neutralized. It’s y Raksha bandhan was practiced. It’s not in any Vedic scriptures. It started to remind the brothers that family matters. It’s also where the idea of izzat lutna came from. If u marry ur rapist, u become pak again. And ur family isn’t tortured because they have a “napak girl in the home”. Izzat word itself isn’t even Hindu. They went to war if someone harmed their women/girls. But none of actual history is taught to desi folks.

The blouse is largely a Victorian introduction based on European ideas of women’s modesty. Similarly the petticoat as well. All you have to do is go look at temples in southern India to have a sense of how women dressed.

Such was the healthy mindset of Indian men and women pre British times!! They considered everything natural and didn’t have vulgarity in their minds. People of India were truly progressive and hence wearing just saree without blouse was not a problem. Came the English and poisoned our minds. They couldn’t digest the fact that Indian women had so much freedom and were literally leading the best lives. Hence they began to spoil everyone’s mindset so that they can suppress women into just kitchen and kids like their own white ladies…. People used Media to objectify women and over many years we all have grown cheap and useless. Nowa days whether it’s burqa or saree or skirt doesn’t matter minds of men and women have gotten sick. Wish our minds and mentality goes back to a progressive society soon in every way.

The only way to keep a culture alive and thriving is to allow for people to constantly experiment and reinvent its clothing per the prevalent societal norms. This is one reason the sari continues to be a force to reckon with in defiance of other more "convenient" and "fashion-forward" garments. This is something religious and moral trolls fail to take into account when harping about retaining cultural roots. Love your channel and the conversations you bring to all of us!

@@RojaJaneman You are partly wrong. The Vedic religion ordains Upper Caste 'Āryā' women to cover themselves from bossom to ankles. Kshatriya ladies also put a veil while some Brahmin sub castes didn't. However, Vedic standards of modesty was unfortunately never strictly followed allover India. Another fact is that blouse came from Scythians not mughals. Even Angrakha was developed during the same period as the 1st blouse. Upper caste Hindu women were NOT half naked. They wore chest coverings and would mostly stay at home. Lower caste ladies, workers & servants didn't have these restrictions

In Hindu kingdom of Travancore women from depressed classes were not allowed to cover the upper body. Officials even collected breast taxes(called 'മുലക്കരം')from women. There were series of movements, (some even turned violent) people from depressed classes for the right to cover their breasts. (Between mid-late 19th century to early-mid twentieth century).

Well that sucks. In other states like Odhisa it's about the heat issue. Most of the (so called) lower class women worked in farms to earn a living. So they ditched blouse to get body temperature down. In my native place, there are many casts who have this "no blouse" tradition. The women still hang on to it, despite being ridiculed by others.

You certainly show Bollywood clips where the "blouse" looked very much like a bra... front and back. Part II of this of objectivation story might be about when the bra arrived. The earliest Bollywood scene I know of is 1960s as an undergarment. Thank you.

Also, this purdah system was never a part of our culture, you can see the goddesses are never in purdah. Actually, I think that our original culture was very modern and open for women.

The more we get exposed the more we get to know.. The adivasis in MP, both adivasis and non- adivasis in Odisha do wear saree without a blouse.. It shows how a blouse had been a foreign concept. I had recently joined as social worker and I with my colleague was visiting this one village. Since he was already living in that village as part of the work, he showed me in the house of this woman who was eating her day-meal. Immediately she shied away and we also got awkward. Though I noticed that she is not wearing a blouse I thought that could be the reason. So after a few minutes she showed up with a blouse. Even bra can be attributed to that category. Killing a women's freedom, not wearing one causes obscenity.. I think I can style the way I want but there's somewhere in my mind know that I would be stared at if I go braless

Don't oppose feminism. Oppose those you misunderstand it. Just like how ideas of religion and actions of people who identify with that religion are two completely different entities. Just like how you can only understand a religion by reading it's scriptures, not by watching Instagram reels. Similarly you cannot actually understand feminism without reading the history and writings of feminist leaders who were both men and women. However, you're free to make your own opinions regarding any " ideology". But i suggest you to not fall for anti-revolutionary and anti-reform prejudices . Because these prejudices actually demotivated Indian masses from supporting revolutionaries of Indian Freedom movement and social reform movements, which led to their tragic failure.

How abhorring it is that dress codes vary according to the castes. Our culture has its dark sides, we should have accepted rather than just ignored them. Mulakaram was a breast tax implemented by abominable people. Oppressed class women were not allowed to cover their Breast and if they wants to then they have to pay Mulakaram which they couldn't afford because of poverty. You should have mentioned Mulakaram and especially the woman named "Nangeli" who was the first woman to protest against this obscene law.

Stop spreading misinformation. This has been debunked several times. Mulakkaram had nothing to do with breast, apart from the word being there to signify women. It was a head count tax, the counterpart of which was thalakaram- headtax for men, paid to landlords by tenants and laborers who use the lands. If you still want to keep believing the myth, try finding a Royal decree of breast tax for covering breast...and good luck finding something that doesn't exist

🙄🙄🙄🙄 Blouses were also encouraged by the Brits to sell more of their clothing. Remember cotton was considered gold. They made serious bank by ensuring Indians purchased their fabrics. To give boost to the industrial revolution. Cotton was one of the crops that they forced Indian farmers to raise, they maintained firm monopoly on it. Swaddle hire me. I can do better research. This is ridiculous. Or maybe I should start posting reactions/critiques on ur videos to ensure quality care?? 🤨🤨🤨 Did u forget that rajasthani, gujju, Bhil etc. women especially wore open-back blouses? They didn’t let pop fashion decide their outfits.

@@ananyaverma9599 No Mam , not all you can Lord Buddha instruct Bhikkhunis to cover their shaved heads due to the hot Indian climate and differentiate them from other women in the soceity to establish a moral code and modesty , this I get from Vinaya Pitaka . Again when you see a Jain sadhu or sadhvi their head and body is also covered , because both Buddhists and Jains are believed that bodily glamour is the hindrance of Nirvana or Kaivalya . Coming to the next topic head covering on the head, covering up naval with anchal and shatika up to gulaf or heel is the traditional model attire of a Hindu kulavadhu . But , here comes a but , all Hindus, Buddhists and Jains are not so much interested to covering up all the women with a piece of cloth . When the covering up started India began to fall in the dark ages with her numerous superstitions.

This video totally defies what noble women such as Sita wore and their goonghat (face veil), nobility never exposed their breasts or their faces. Just read our religious books. Modesty and shyness are paramount in our religious texts.

The 'historian' deserves a pay cut. Lmao. Vedic period never had cholis. Infact the technical know how to create closed seam fitted garments came from Scythians. The original Indian blouse was developed from a Shaka man's cropped tunic and initially adopted by court dancers, and much later by noble women. It followed the trickle up fashion theory. Vedic period had stan-pattas but unfortunately such modesty wasn't followed allover India even by Upper Caste women. I reckon some Persian or Arab visitor to South India being disgusted by how scantily Indians covered themselves
