Anyone who knows me at all knows that I have a long-standing, but essentially shallow fixation with some parts of the culture of India. Namely, the movies, the language, the food and the clothes. My interest in India is a lot like my interest in France, mainly food, language and fashion-related; I don't claim to know a thing about what it is like in India economically, politically, etc. Somebody recently asked me where this curiosity came from, and I have to say that I am not entirely sure. If I had to guess, I'd say that it was the following things: one, my mother has been fascinated by the country since before I was born, although she has never been there. Two, a lot of the family chaos portrayed in Hindi films reminds me somewhat of my extended family (Italian in this case). Three, I discovered said Hindi films, and the outrageously bright and beautiful colors of Bollywood at a time when the prevailing fashion here in the States was for tan, white, black and gray-colored things (Blech!). Now, I must say that I have always felt a bit awkward about adopting the cultural trappings of another country without knowing everything I can about that country. Part of this squeamishness comes from years of witnessing the terrible tendency in fellow Evergreen students for borrowing bits and pieces from cultures around the world without knowing what they meant. By the time I left there, I was about ready to "shoot first and ask questions later" whenever I heard rich-white-boy-number-ten-thousand call himself a "shaman." When it comes to the Salwar Kameez, however, my admiration is more than adequate to overcome my hesitation. What can you say about an outfit that comes with its own accessories, looks good on everyone regardless of body type, is appropriate for very casual occasions and very formal ones, and feels cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter? It's gorgeous, saves the wearer from having to pick something that "goes" with it, is comfortable, and comes in an alarming variety of colors, fabrics and styles. I guess my real question is: why doesn't everyone wear something like this every day?
There is a sense in which "everyone" does wear something like this, or at least a large percentage of the world's population has access to some form of this dress: the iconic suit of East Asia, with toggle-button jacket and loose pants is a variation, and the Salwar Kameez itself (under a variety of names) is worn in India, Pakistan, the Middle East (where it most likely originated in Persia, although don't quote me on that) and Africa. Here in the United States, and, in fact, all over Europe, and North and South America, multitudes of people from any of the above-listed locations have brought this practical and beautiful form of dress with them. What I am still waiting for is the moment it catches on in the larger population here, so that I can get mine at my local clothing store, instead of having to drive to British Columbia, or Kent, WA or have total strangers pick my clothes for me when they visit India (thank you, Anandhi's husband!). When, oh when is that day going to come? It may never, but I honestly don't see why...
