Are you in one of the pics?

No Lol

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.

SARI is a wedding dress

NOT A dres you wear everyday

Even pajama wasn't indian it was brought by mughal and muslims always wear somthing cover them properly ladies with dubatta and guys with pagri.
Shalwar kameez chosen by muslim majority and it's muslim dress and national dress of Pakistan and I guess Afghanistan.

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

Some girls like to wear saris at weddings now seen it a few times but women of my moms generation never wore saris.I can remember once at a freinds family wedding who were punjabi hindus my mom thought about it but decided not to.And the wedding dress wore by sikh girls on their wedding is called a lehnga which are a massive rip off

Since there are more Pashtuns in Pakistan, I would say it's a Pakistani dress, although there should be an option to say Afghan/Pakistani dress.

Yep, lehngas are very popular for wedding in Haryana too. But Saree is not. Haryanvi women wear either salwar kameez or lehnga in wedding. I rarely see a women wearing Saree in a wedding. Bride is an exception.

my people were wearing Shalwar Kameez when Gangoos had piece of cloth wrapped around their sparse mid-riff and their women had a piece of cloth wrapped around - call it Saree or what ever. Now all these half naked junglees have copied us and today they think they are "it".


I was going to do that but then all the Afghan haters would be jumping up and down.

I thought you were respectful. but guess what? You are not. Please maintain discipline.

I don't wanna call it this is the best one or that one is the best and make it India vs Pakistan thing. Some people wear it because it is convenient to wear. Not because of nationalism.

Sari is somewhat difficult compared to Salwar and kameez and when you go to cities the dress even gets shorter.

The reactionary hatred for Afghans on this forum by some is extremely nauseating sometimes.

I made a statement of fact. Majority of your people until not long ago were half naked. I have no idea how making a statement of fact contra-places discipline? Even your Gandhi in order to be "one of his people" went around half dressed - alluding to exactly what I said.
