Shalwar Kameez - a Pakistani dress?

[Indus Pakistan]

Shalwar Kameez is a Pakistani dress.

You know I do appreciate your clarity, sureness and "Pakistan-centric" nature of your thinking. We have one guy giving away the dress I saw my mum wearing, my grandmother wearing as "Patiala" thus ascribing it to India. Amazing.

Shalwar kameez have different styles and i personally would not limit food, dress, music to certain region as you have different variety and styles in Shlawar kameez and certain ethnic groups reside in boht India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and they share language, food, dress with slight variation etc ..Punjabi shalwar kameez is also bit different to what Afghan or baloch wear..also pashtun/afghan women have different traditional dress

this is patiala suit

Is that a Ghaghra Kurta in the first Photo?? Looks quit similar.

Yeah it has different styles but when you say Qameez, the particular image that conjures up in one's mind is these (the bottom pics in your post)

I said other

Other: It is Pakistan's national dress.


For Indians maybe it's a Muslim dress? I really don't know nor I want to answer this question.

yes but @Kaptaan voted shalwar kameez as afghan dress so i posted traditional afghan dress to suggest that its not same as shalwar kameez and look more like lucknowi Gharara

Is that a Ghaghra Kurta in the first Photo?? Looks quit similar.

yes but that is traditional afghan dress

Other than Pakistan, it's sometimes worn in Indian Punjab and IoK. I'd definitely say it is Pakistani.

Yes.

It is my will to have a national dress inspired by a person's choice.

There is a religious reason there as well that's why we chose that dress as well.

As a punjabi sikh kurta pyjama for men and shalwar kameez for women never seen my mom wearing a sari but at weddings now you see some punjabi girls wearing them.

Its obviously Pakistani and not Indian or afghan. As far as I remember Pakistani women and men have worn shalwar kameez. And its not because of tv influence so this look like ancient dress. Traditional Indian women wear saris and afghan women wear that dress posted above.

Indian women are replacing saris because of bollywood.

Well, I never saw a punjabi women wearing sari other than punjabi bride wearing it on her wedding.
