Now Indians do more rituals than before. They follow all traditions some are mundane. Every one wants to go through age old tradition of 4-5 days wedding.
More traditional wedding dresses are trend in India. Yet to see girl getting married in short skirt or shoulder less dress.
Even traditional prints or weaving is a trend which is very expensive. Age group of 15-21 is always do something different and copies but that last for short duration. Yet to see my mom in skirts even long skirts, even Salwar Kameez is rare.
Western original goods only bought by very rich, rest knows all is made in India but with fake tag on it. Indians are smart donât under estimate them. Have you seen Indians making lines outside store at 3am just to get new western fashion style? Nope. Have you seen Indians sleeping outside Movie Theater one day ahead to see Lord of Rings? Nope.
Donât worry. 1 Billion will influence more people not other way round. Age group15-21 are never trend setter for country. They just bring joy and color. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes Mudy, You are absolutely right. It is on the upswing. I blame our bollywood and distorted view of our own indentity. But as you said, yes it changing, and hopefully it will pick up pace as it goes along and get everyone into sanatana dharma.
