    Message froM PRESIDENT Dear Rotaractors, Warm Rotaract Greetings from Rotaract Club of Thane North (RID 3142- India) We are glad sharing an editorial space with you and find great pleasure introducing the Traditional attire of our country. As you know India is a diverse country and has 29 states and 7 union territories. Every state has their own diverse language and traditional attire. We even have diversity in religion maximum people following Hinduism and the rest being Islam, Christianity and Sikhism; leave aside the other tribes which have their own traditional attire. Living in such a diversified country it is difficult to write about the entire traditional clothing, but here I will just try giving you a glimpse of the same. For men, traditional clothes are the Achkan/Sherwani, Bandhgala, Lungi, Kurta, Angarkha, Jama and Dhoti or Pajama. Additionally, recently pants and shirts have been accepted as traditional Indian dress by the Government of India. In India, women's clothing varies widely and is closely associated with the local culture, religion and climate. Traditional Indian clothing for women in the north and east are saris worn with choli tops; a long skirt called a lehenga or pavada worn with choli and a dupatta scarf to create an ensemble called a gagra choli; or salwar kameez suits, while many south Indian women traditionally wear sari and children wear pattu langa. Saris made out of silk are considered the most elegant. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's fashion capitals. In many rural parts of India, traditional clothes is worn.

  • Pheran Through the Mists of Centuries
    PUTAJ – Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 25, No. 2 (July – Dec.), 2018 Pheran Through the Mists of Centuries Shabana Rafique*, Faiza Inayat**, Shahnaz Parveen Khattak*** Abstract The present study is an attempt to find out the historical perspective, different styles and decorative aspects of traditional Kashmiri attire i.e., Pheran. The study focuses on the assessment of modified versions of Pheran which were designed according to latest fashion trends. The most preferred styles were stitched and analyzed by taking opinion of under graduate girls students through a self-constructed questionnaire. The three types of Pheran i.e., Mughal, Kurta and Modern style were designed by flat-pattern method. According to the findings, the most appreciated style among them was Mughal. After taking the source of inspiration from the oriental costumes, various beautiful and attractive designs can be produced. The study will be beneficial in gaining attention of young fashion designers and consumers at national and international levels. Keywords: Mughal Style, Pheran, Kurta, Kashmir, Cultural Values, Fashion Designer Introduction The valley of Kashmir is known as the crown of the Indian subcontinent. In remote past, many foreign visitors of the valley were much fascinated with its beauty and offered glowing tribute to it. They called it as the Switzerland of the Asia, the heaven on earth by Firdausi and meadow of flowers by Persian scholars. The word Kashmir is also believed to be derived from the word „kashmere‟, a specific sheep „pashmina‟ from which the wool is taken for making the popular Kashmiri shawls (Asotush, 2013). This stunning valley is the inheritor of a fabulous cultural past, famous for its unique textile and apparel products i.e., carpets, pashmina shawls and various clothing items like Pheran etc.

  • Changing Village of Kashmir with Special Reference to Changes in Dress: Post1947 Era
    Volume-11,Issue-4,March-2018 Changing Village of Kashmir with Special Reference to Changes in Dress: Post1947 Era Audil Umar Research Scholar University of Kashmir [email protected] Abstract Majority of people in Kashmir live in rural areas but not much is known about their socio-materialistic characteristics. The Kashmiri society was almost static or experienced a little change under the Dogra regime (1846-1947). But after independence in 1947, the popular government initiated various measures aiming at spread of education and awareness, breaking the isolation of the valley with effective road communication, transfer of property rights of land to tillers, introduction to modern methods of agriculture including HYV of seeds and chemical fertilizers etc. These interventions initiated a change in the material aspects of the society and subsequently had its impact on non-material aspects. The theme of this paper is to divulge on changes in Kashmiri Villages with special reference to dress. Key Words: Land Reforms, High Yielding Varieties (HYV), Debt, Fertilizers, Dress, Introduction Society in rural India has undergone a large amount of change since ages due to wars, socio-religious movements, modernization, education, rural development programmes and more recent globalization and increased mechanization. Quiet similar to what has happened in other parts of Indian sub-continent, society of the state of Jammu and Kashmir also witnessed a large amount of change. For example, the society changed from subsistence agriculture to modern mechanized agriculture; the institution of bonded labour begar got replaced by the institution of free labour. Similarly Superstition of the village got substituted by reason, ignorance by education, traditional practices of living with increasing use of science and technology in day today life.

  • Women Librarians in Traditional and Modern Attires in India: Nationwide Scenario
    Submitted on: 30.07.2018 Women librarians in traditional and modern attires in India: Nationwide scenario Sarika Sawant SHPT School of Library Science, SNDT Women’s University, Mumbai, India E-mail address: [email protected] Copyright © 2018 by Sarika Sawant. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: India is a country located in southern Asia. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, in 29 states and 7 union territories, India is the most populous democracy in the world. Every state has unique traditional clothes that women wear. However there are three prominent types of clothes worn by women in India i.e. Sari, Salwar Kameez and Kurti. Over time, the sense of dressing has evolved and changed. Due to factors like globalisation and westernisation, today’s women take a modern approach when it comes to dress. The paper focused on female librarians’ clothing in India. The survey was conducted by inviting women librarians in every state to give their opinions about today’s clothing styles and their preferences of clothes for daily use and for special occasions such as conferences/ workshops/meetings, etc. The study also explored piercing and tattooing styles and their preferences, and use of jewellery by women library professionals. It was found that Salwar Kameez, Chudidar/Kurta and Saree were most preferred on weekdays, similar outfits were preferred on weekends or Saturdays including Kurti with jeans. Almost all feel comfortable and confident in the outfits they commonly wear.
