The ban, which also includes men wearing traditional kurta pyjamas and Gandhi-style chappal sandals, emerged yesterday when an Army officer revealed how he and his wife were denied entry to a nightclub on the outskirts of Delhi because she was wearing a sari.
(...)
According to Mr K N Umesh, manager of Black, a discotheque in the Ghaziabad suburb, women may wear saris to weddings, but not at nightclubs. They may wear salwar kameez – long baggy collarless shirts with cotton pyjama trousers, Nehru-style sherwani long-coats or any other traditional Indian clothes, but they have no place in a sophisticated nightclub.
(...)
É surrealista. As mulheres indianas vestem sari e salwar kameez, ou punjabi, em todo o lado, nas bermas da estrada, nos mercados, no Taj Mahal e em casamentos em hotéis de cinco estrelas. Acho-os lindos, e lindas as mulheres que os vestem.

Já começou a novela "Caminho das Índias" :) pena estar a ser transmitida a uma hora tão tardia (23h ?!?)...
Eu fiquei cheia de pena por não comprar um sari, que tecidos magníficos... mas depois comecei a perguntar-me onde é que o iria usar aqui em Portugal ;)
Já agora, alguns vídeos em http://cinemaindiano.blogspot.com/2009/01/caminho-das-ndia-primeiro-captulo.html
Enjoy :)
Moura, eu comprei um sari e fiz um vestido, mas dos metros de tecido que sobraram não sei o que fazer mais. Talvez umas cortinas ;-)
Obrigada pelas dicas
