People in India stare at foreign girls and boys(also) It's not because of sex or rape intention but curiosity towards other ethnicity : how they look different.People here even look at Asians, africans.
because people here seen european americans only in Hollywood superhero movies that's why i think.
People here are so curious about other cultures.
They see pink people as savages who destroy lands
Fair enough. I recall another video where the TH-camr explained tha fair skinned folk are not common among the natives and usually seen as tourists, so not long exposior. As per Truth's claim, that's a bias only held by some, not all.
@@thetruthhere8606 the Frick dood who told u that
Your comment is more comparable with people in China. India, on the other hand, has been open to the world much longer. And has much more exposure to westerners so I can't agree with you completely that it's about curiosity.
Eheheh yeh iam from shimla and everyone cover up their body in shimla due to -2 degree temprature 😅😅 not due to culture 😅
I feel your video is more applicable to rural areas and villages. Because in metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc women pretty much wear anything and everything we like. I'm an Indian myself and I don't have any restrictions on what I wear. In the cities, our dressing sense is very similar to Western dressing. We wear skirts, shorts, dresses, tank tops, halter, backless, crop tops and what not. I'm from bangalore and all the people I know dress up in a liberal way. But yes if we do go to a more conservative place, or a temple or any rural area then obviously Indian clothes or jeans or something more conservative would be the norm. But this video does not apply to all the cities in India.
Hey would you mind dm me I’m traveling for a contract in Mumbai and would really appreciate some advice 🙏🏼
I was in Bangalore and did not see women wearing lots of shorts and skirts. Mostly salwars, sarees and jeans
oh short dresses comes with liberal tags
Be dignified in ur attire
but some of the men like me feel shy to talk to women dressed like that because you know "hormones" ..
Wearing short sleeves is not a problem. Also, anything but a low-neck works even without scarf. You’ll see plenty women who wear what they like especially in cities, and it’s rarely a problem but because you’re already a tourist, best you go safe (safe & comfortable are not oxymoronic lol). I, as an Indian woman who wears ABSOLUTELY what she likes, would still suggest you to not think too much. Loose short sleeves t-shirts & baggy pajamas are the best for the climate & ofc v v comfortable! Great video tho.
Thanks! we haven't been to India yet but this makes a lot of sense and goes in line with what we've seen in other conservative countries.- Elisa
Thanks +Hustle Loy, perhaps conservative wasn't the right word to use. Where abouts are you from?
@@TheWorldnUs yeah it's kinda conservative but so much like those middle East Asian countries. You haven't any strict restrictions about clothes. But people and society will criticise you if you wear revealing clothes and sometimes these can make you feel uncomfortable. And also Indian weather also don't support revealing clothes because you wil get tan in sunlight. Moreover if you have white skin tone.
I belong to a small town of India. Still i can wear sleeveless & starp tops. But not too tight & low neck cut because the weather doesn't allow me. I don't want my skin to get more tanned. I wear knee length dresses too & it's not at all a problem in India. But if I go to a temple & a village are..I wear traditional cloths. Infact most of the Indian women prefer wearing traditional cloths only because we love it..not because these are imposed on us. So most of the things you said were correct but not everything. Infact I never cover up my head when I am in any temple because I am not a married girl.
mridu tulika____ u hv worded the reality correctly.
Thank you, this is so helpful! I really hope we can include India in our travels this year😊
What to wear actually depends on where you are,there are many cities which are quite liberal
I saw almost all your videos on India Travel and I am really happy for you to portray us in right way. There are lots of negatives and positives in India (and believe same apply to almost all country), but the beautiful and vibrant way you have made the videos shows your respect for the culture and a beautiful heart. Thank you.
Loved your videos of your stay in India.Hope you come back to India and explore more and more parts of India like NORTH EAST INDIA,UTTARAKHAND
Excellent advice. Those scarfs are absolutely beautiful!
Awesome videos Aly . . keep up your great vlog !
hearing about the way you dressed and actually respected the culture is so refreshing. Especially after Shay Mitchell uploaded her India 'Shaycation' and pretty much went against everything you've said. Such a shame these celebrities don't see these countries for how they really are.
From an Indian perspective it is ok to wear short revealing dresses in Cities. While you travel in towns and suburbs its better to cover up since people will stare at you. And if you go to villages it is a big no no to wear revealing dresses, the villagers are quite brutal and straight forward in their criticism about not meeting their conservative standards.
Jjkhjgkjhkjb hgjhghnjn even while roaming around in markets, buisy roads, crowded areas, slums, and lower class areas in cities... Foreigners shouldn't wear revealing clothes.
If they are in a posh area, they should be alright.
@@jjkhjgkjhkjbhgjhghnjn416 Well do you not respect the culture.Wear our traditional clothes.
Saree,and salwar kameez are comfortable.
Why do you want to be wearing tight,revealing,smelly polyester clothing
'When you could wear practical indian clothes.
i saw ur that video after reading ur comment ....i think she dressed that way for a shoot which is ok i think ..plus what u wear is totally depends on ur choice although u might get stares of people coz of some sort of clothing ...and yes in temples nd places of worship one mut not wear revealing clothing.
Thank you for making this! Very necessary to know indeed haha!
It is simple.
Cover your shoulders and knees and avoid skin tight clothes in most parts of India.
Mumbai you can experiment a little and in Goa wear what you want.
this is not true at all.
You don't have to cover your shoulder, or knees or wear baggy clothes in India.
Just wear decent enough to go out on the streets.
Sushmitha Ravindra
That advice is for foreigners who don't want to get attention from people.
Otherwise you can wear anything in any part of India, there is no official dress code in place.
If you don't cover your shoulder and knee, you might get stared a little. So it is more of a precautionary step.
In South India especially Kerala it’s strict.
I don't think you need to cover your shoulders and knees. I live in Delhi and wear shorts and tank tops all the time.
south india is definitely safer
I saw this video today and I absolutely love the choice of words.
You have a great potential to be a very good writer.
Regards
Many girls in India wear shorts in mumbai , delhi......actually it differs in every state...that's why we have such a diverse culture
great advise 👍🏻👍🏻specially the scarf one. might sound conservative but its practical in india. if u feel comfortable with ur surroundings u enjoy ur day more!
great video as per usual! i love you aly 😘
Thanks for the tips 👍 Shopping for clothes in India sounds super cheap. I'm thinking we should make a trip there soon.
😊 thank you 😊 Where in India are you from?
It's just the currency exchange rates.
The World n Us did u make ur trip??
Yup thq ..some lines are really wrong ..😑
Good planning will always help you to enjoy traveling in india
Hey Ur giving a good knowledge but for the temples and any sacred places I do agree we pay respect and try to cover.. am from Bangalore and I can wear wat ever I want
In India I always made sure my shoulders and knees were covered. Loose fitting clothes are ideal. I still got plenty unwanted attention though 😆
Really want to go back to India again!
Danica Christin Most of the Indian people stare because of curiosity not sexually.
Everything is all right but unwanted attention shiuld not be given she is also a human
mam u ppl r beautiful. thats bcz we see not sexually and here u r source of indpiration for women really i see women in burqa watching u saying look they r wearing shorts still they r free to walk but why not we even wearing this mam
Don't worry about clothes its just the Indian culture developed like wearing India's own traditional clothes no one cares cause its common and wearing western clothes is not that common so people might stare that person....it doesn't matter if its a male or female....Honestly speaking anyone could were anything here no one resists you.....
Otherthan it..... Western/chinese people look different so they are just curious about western/chinese people and try to give u much comfort and want to make you feel that India is a good country and you are welcome here ......so insake of giving comfort they make western people bother....
Amrit Samanta you re wrong indisns just doesn’t have dress sense many people wear from rmals for a family tour i men shirt and a pant which most of indians wear is western not indian even poor people buy a cheap shirt and cheap formal pant and wear it.
Its very helpful for all foreign people
What u said is absolutely correct
informative. 📚
where r you planning for next trip? 💁
Scarfs are soo cool!!!
Only in some villages and rural areas you have to cover up a little but in cities you can wear what ever you want. Where I live I am allowed to wear everything I want.
Go with the flow. Simple
Nice one there, check check.
This video was pretty much on point except the scarves part. I am an Indian and I must have like one scarf in my entire wardrobe which I wear at most once in a couple of months. But I agree that they are very practical and serve multiple purposes.
Also, everybody normally wears jeans and a t-shirt.
Well...even I am from delhi (india) and I am a girl and wear shots and cutsleeves top but there are some places where you should cover up yourself but in modern cities you can wear what you want
Almost 50 %right... Your information is applied only in the sacred places.. not in the metro cities.. yes india is conservative to some extent.. but not all.. you don't have to wear full sleeves and scarfs in all places..😊
It's official that india is pretty fun place in entire world.
Except in metro cities (you can wear anything ) in general yup you need to show respect but you are overdoing a bit. You can wear sleeveless and anything above knee below mini skirts length nobody will care. And yes Pretty much everything else you advice is true.
Salwar kurti is acceptable and respected all over India. In cities you can wear anything. Check Facebook for Indian attire for latest dresses.
All those Indian people who say that 'India is not a conservative country/you can wear whatever you want' - I think you are forgetting who Aly's audience is. Her viewers are usually people who travel alone (or in pairs) on a budget. It means that we are not staying In 5 starts hotels, don't limit our India experience to going to 'posh' places only such as theatre or some rooftops bars (someone mentioned this example below), we want to get a better feel of the real culture so we go to a food markets, walk downs the streets, travel to more rural parts of India. Also, I am a white woman and I always, without a fail, when travel outside of Europe attract people's attention no matter what I wear. So wearing modest clothes is a very smart thing to do as it gives me a chance to be a low key traveller.
You don't put yourself in western traveller's shoes but instead, get offended for no reason and post stupid comments just to make yourself feel better. Being conservative does not mean being retarder or outdated or not developed - stop taking it so personal and look for a moment on what's around you. Giving comments that western women can wear in India shorts and tank tops can be very dangerous.
I see those types of comments under so many videos that in a very gentle and respectful way describe Indian culture -seriously get a grip!
This year I saw plenty indian girls in shorts, not wearing duppatta...wearing jeans and t-shirts ( it was in Delhi, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad) , and I looked funny with my boho ethno clothes! So next time I will absolutely wear what I want to wear in India!
Good going :)
In a hot climate where you'll be standing in direct sunlight then wearing black during the day isn't a wise idea. If you're worried about clothes looking dirty then other colours can be effective in not showing the dirt easily, like grey...
as a girl from rural area living in city i can confirm that clothes restrictions are only in rural areas but in cities like mumbai , delhi girls where whatever they want
salute to understand our culture.... modern Indian girls says their rights, liberty's but should respect our ancient culture..
siva duraichamy
Exactly. Indians should respect their culture.
Lmaooo foreigners be adopting indian culture while Indians be following western...
well I believe that the dressing style depends upon the region you're staying in.
You can wear whatever you want in india.. but it's safe to follow video.
when r u going back to india again????
what about short sleeved shirts? like a t-shirt.
You learn very quick miss.. I like the way u behave.. respect u like our women...
Most major cities are more open but yes smaller cities or rural areas. Yes religious sites do require conservative clothing. Conservative like you said is safe cause you can go almost anywhere (temples, big cities, rural areas,etc.)
In general my experience most people dont care. Like you said be respectful and thats all that matters. Common tourist cities are more open than non tourist cities.
There are so many beautiful place like Puri temple,,, konark temple and Bhubaneswar city of State Odisha in India🇮🇳.... I suggest you to travel this part of India....
What about ripped jeans? I’m going to New Dehli soon and I’m struggling with what to pack!
Rena Curren
You are a foreigner. People can’t and won’t tell you to not wear shorts. Because that’s just your culture. Wear wat you want. But these kind of restrictions only apply to Indian girls. Because it’s still a very traditional country.
I donno why but you look so similar to super carlin brothers. Are you two related? 😁
Just wondering... Great vids btw
Much better...
INDIANS ROCK 😊😊😊😎
wearing scarfs is not compulsory , its in our tradition and its fancy too and INDIAN clothes are the best 😊
And no one cares ,who wears what...!!!😀😀😀
Thanks for visiting INDIA and thanks for the video...😊😀😄😄😄😍🙌🙌🙌💙💛💚💙✌✌✌👍👍👍
Hey you are really a great traveller. Respect you and your thinking. Yes Indian are little conservative. And you respected their views. Every country has their own traditions and belief, we should respect that while traveling to that country.👍
Life..........it is not necessary to cover your whole body in INDIA...........u can walk freely in streets in shorts or half-naked, and nothing wrong will happen to u.........only try to avoid roaming in DELHI after 10 pm.......... DELHI as a CAPITAL, has been made hell due to OVERPOPULATION...........u can visit GOA, where lot of WESTERN people enjoy on SEA-BEACH there.........u can check out KARL WATSON(GOA to KERALA) and ARTHUR MOORE GOA videos...........
A warm welcome in India with great diversity.
Did you bring a jacket with you? Or find that you needed one?
When I went to India, people stared regardless of what I was wearing. I went in December so it wasn't extremely hot so I didn't end up wearing any thing but capris or long leggings. I did wear a sleeveless dress but it also went to my knees so it wasn't revealing or inappropriate. My friend told me to just wear what I normally wear in Canada but I think he just knew I don't ever wear revealing or scandalous clothing haha.
Many Indian women don't follow the Indian dress code. They wear whatever they want to wear. Believe me, this is not so strict as you are thinking... You can wear any dresses in metropolitan cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Agra etc. Nobody will stare at you for very long time. Though, you may need these stuffs if you go the rural areas of holi places like varanasi, mathura or rishikesh etc..
I'm a big fan of your videos. And if you're planning on visiting India again, do visit the North East India. People from the mainland India doesn't know many things about this region. Its mainly a hilly region with a beautiful natural beauty. The food, culture, people are completely different from what you experienced from your first visit. More than 200 tribes lives in the north east . In Assam, we've got Kaziranga national park, it has largest population of one horned rhinoceros. And Rakh mahutsav ( it's a kind of festival happens in October or November ) in Majuli , bihu dance , Satria dance are few things you should experience while you're in Assam. You should visit Tawang in Arunachal. It has the Asia's largest Buddhist Monastery. And I can't describe about the Arunachal's natural beauty. It's almost heaven. Nagaland is the home of the famous head hunters ( they used to collect heads but they left that practice years and years ago. So don't worry). The hand woven shawls by the different tribes of Nagaland are legendary. And they are rich in natural beauty. You got to have one. In Meghalaya, we have Mowlindon(don't know if I got the spelling right) Asia's cleanest village. Then Mowsynram, world wettest place. In Mizoram you can visit Phawngpui Hills. Sikim also offers a great amount of natural beauty. Just visit Gangtak, Darjeeling. Tripura also provides a lot of things. And if you think dresses from the mainland India is good, just wait till your eyes rest on the hand woven traditional clothes. I guarantee , you will be blown away. Mahatma Gandhi, (if you know who he is) one famously said , the weavers here can craft dreams in hand looms. And I can't brag enough about the food here. You can literally have a different food 3 times a day, and you'll be nowhere near finishing everything in 365 days ( Not spicy also. Oh did I mention, north east India is the home of the hottest chilli in the world, the Ghost chilli or Poison Chill. ) Its like a totally different country inside a country . It not as much develop as the rest of the country , so you might not get highest level of accommodation, but the nature here is very much virgin. Just watch few videos of north east India here on TH-cam, and yeah, welcome to India
You are doing great job by helping all people by giving idea to travel creating from India 🙏🙏🙏🙏
wooo short video! short is best
thanks for your wise words, many blonde wear short cloth, book hotel in ghetto area and start walking and shopping in ghetto area, later complaint about tout and harassment. you explain very nicely.
Um, wait is this video meant for rural India and villages? I'm confused?
I've been staying in India for the past 30 years or so and trust me Indian women don't have any restrictions on the clothes we wear. I hardly wear Indian myself expect for temples and stuff, other than that I mostly wear modern clothes, short dresses, low cut tops, tanks etc! you get the drift.
You shouldn't be making such a video if you haven't spent more time in India and without making an effort to explore THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. Just visiting a few shady, down trodden areas (yes I've seen your vlogs) even the places where you stayed at were cringey and shady, doesn't give you a true picture about the other side of India. Dont make generalizations about clothing when you haven't even visited any modern urban areas or localities.
Well 70 % of our population lives in villages.I live in guragon most women here wear ghoonghat.
Also western countries dont respect your culture or wear your clothes.Why do you wear theres.
Are sarees,and salwar kameez not comfortable for you
Or do you like to put yourself out their wearing tight,smelly polyester clothing.
Do you not respect our culture.
?????????????????
@@crazykeejan6981 please calm down, it's person choice what they want to wear, don't criticize anyone
I'm a foreigner living in Mumbai since 5 years. Enjoying the luxury to be able to wear whatever I please. Though I must say I am not the age anymore to even want to wear shorts or mini skirts/dresses XD. They are super normal for young girls in many parts of Mumbai though.
Around my area and for everyday errands I wear kurtis and leggins just cause it's insanely comfortable. For Bandra, Juhu, town (aka Churchgate) and malls I go for western clothing though I won't go for low cut tops (mostly I go for girly cut t-shirts or blouses).
In Mumbai I never wear scarves/dupattas except for functions (bigger poojas or weddings) cause else the outfit won't look complete. Else I just don't cause I am super clumsy and keep tangling the dupatta in stuff or having one piece drag on the floor hahaha...
You don't need to even when visiting a Mandir (temple), only if you visit a Mosque or a Gurudwara (Sikh temple) you would be required to wear one.
I do wear a scarf though when traveling long distances in trains or going more rural places where people might be more conservative. Just nice to be able to cover up a bit when you feel it's more appropriate.
Indians are not used to see girls in short clothes. Thats why they stare . But their intention is not wrong.
I'm an Indian u don't need scarf 😂😂.. Only if u wanna protect ur self from dust!!
keira sam11234
So a dupatta/chunni is just for dust?
You can wear whatever you want in Delhi , Mumbai and Goa . If you don't go in rural areas ( Slums ).
I have seen all ur videos of Indian trip and being an indian i must say u have experienced indian culture so deeply, their is a phrase that "beauty is in the eyes of beholder" and u were so calm and cool during ur trip, but yeah u got ill thats sad:(
and one more thing next time u visit india go to these places Amritsar famous for golden temple, Kolkata for true British experience,Sikkim for natural beauty,Rishikesh for river rafting,Ladakh most coldest in Himalayan range,Munar in kerala,Shimla is must u gaonna feel like u are in europe, Chandigarh the most planned city of india,Hope u visit again:)
so happy foreign people are buying and wearing Indian cloths while in india they are trying to wear westren. Our rich and colourful culture is world wide loved. thanks dear
Now you in India?
Nice and informative video for those who are travelling to India........And yeah, not all places are same in India regarding dressing......SOME places do allow wearing western clothes without much trouble, and SOME don't.............and like she said, it's good to be always ready.........And most people stare at foreigners because they are curious and don't see foreigner everyday.........For example, you will have a look at a lambo in a place where there are normally shit cars roaming........and also you will stare at a trash car in a place where everyone has a ferrari...
Hope U won't feel weird when visiting India from now.....
Love from India🇮🇳🍛👳👳👳👳
And yes, curry is not the only thing avialable here 😂😂😂
In small villages of india and small cities , people don't allow girls to wear any short cloth.only rich people wear these kind of cloths . When i was 12 years old , i saw a girl wearing Western cloths and i asked my mother ,i have to wear these kind of cloths , she said ,no you can't wear .
I can wear shorts in my room but noone allow me to go outside with those clothes.but one day i went outside , a woman said me ,hey how can you go outside like that.
Here a female is interrupting another female ,not a male
I did not go to fresher's party of my college because dress code was a short dress
This mentality of indian society should be changed
1st like!
Thank you for respect my culture and Our wearing clothes....😍😍
You can wear shorts but you should see the surrounding of you are you going to mall or a bad area etc
A closed clothing is required for Indians or tourists too? What is more conservative, Northern India or South India?
Vlad Russ south India is more conservative tbh but it's safer than north India . And closed clothing, in my opinion is more required for tourist because u guy anyway attract so much attention plus he older Indian have this very Weird perception about tourist.. and by closed clothing i mean don't wear something low cut or extremely cropped nothing else
Vlad Russ plus it doesn't really matter what u wear in some cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai etc in general u can wear whatever (not whatever obviously like booty shorts would be a no anywhere except metro cities i guess) u want to wear in metro cities plus capitals of states
isak even
What do you mean "older Indian have this very Weird perception about tourist.."?
South is definitely more conservative.
AWESOME Video... Yes.. India is a very Conservative Country.. It is ALWAYS Safe to Wear Conservative Cloths...
I think i will wear as in Turkey as have big top half etc longish cool skirt and a kind of pashmina and dress to knee and denim skirt below knee or nice linen dresd just to be and feel ok myself ... did this in Vietnam as dont need to attract unwanted attention anyway ... sane as UK ... not going to huge cities like Mumbai ... I am notca youngster and just like to please myself and culture too
How's your rib pain? Some quick fixes for the health problems when you find yourself in situations like the airport where you had to haul your luggage, or when you don't have access to medicines: For any bone-related pain, or pain in muscles holding any bones, just touch the tip of your middle finger to the tip of your thumb...as tightly as you can. The pain should subside and the problem could also get resolved without medicines or doctors within 5 mins to a few days' time, depending upon how much damage the bone or the surrounding area has suffered. I once slipped on a staircase and hurt my last vertebra so bad that I couldn't even lift myself up to a standing position. I sat there for 20 minutes doing this hand gesture and I never had to go to a doctor or take a medicine.
Similarly, if you get an upset stomach, diarrhea, or something like that, just press the tip of your ring finger to the tip of your thumb and walk for around 15 minutes keeping your fingers like this. No matter how grave the situation is, 15 mins is all it takes to cure such stomach related problems. Again, no medicines and doctors. I once suffered from my worst upset stomach when I traveled to another city for a marriage. It was embarrassing for me to tell someone to take me to a doctor or even a pharmacy (medicine shop). I did this hand gesture and walked for 15 minutes and I got completely cured. This was my first experiment and experience with "Mudra (hand gesture) science" (an ancient Indian health solution like Yoga) and I was surprised with the results. You can find all Indian statues in temples and caves doing various such hand gestures.
You can do these finger arrangements on one hand or on both hands. If you want faster results, do it with both hands. Try these two and see if they work for you. It isn't going to cost you anything and it has no side effects either, so why not try? If this "therapy" works for you, reply to my comment and let me know. I will tell you what to do about cough and cold too. :-)
i would recommend you whenever you're back in India to visit Shillong which is in Meghalaya,North East,India. Im 100% sure you'll love it!
Can i ask when you wore your indian clothing. Which is lovely by the way. Did anyone stare at you.
My indian ex said India people mock others who would wear their custom clothing as they look stupid. I didnt believe him but did you or what's everyone else's opinion on this many thanks
Just because multiple generations co-existing at same time doesn't make Indian culture conservative. I live in Delhi and girls wear shorts and skirts all the time. I don't blame you because as a tourist what you experienced do make sense, because that's what indian streets are full of hawkers, beggers, other tier 2,3 cities immigrants. You should've visited few pubs in Delhi, girls wear whatever they like. I have watched other videos also and feels like any one from a different culture needs to spend considerable amount of time in a country they are visiting to get to know the whole story. I work in a MNC and there are clients visits from US, UK, France. They spend much time with urban working class Indians and attend office parties. Their experience differs.
All in all, I love your videos. Keep Rocking
All the very best
Indian people thinking WHITE PEOPLE are God
Or alternatively you can just visit Sri Lanka and wear whatever you want. No restrictions unless it's a religious place.
What she said is completely true, may be large population in cities don't care about a girl what she wears which is good, but there is a section of society including women who stares at a women based on her dress. The worst thing is even some women criticize the victim if she fall in to some trouble for the dress she wears or for the time she was outside. The vlogger could have explained this subject in any manner but she choose the positive side which is appreciable. As Indians accept the fact and try to behave better to the visitors regardless of their country or states from which people come.
u looking good in blue black scarf
I am from Delhi there every one wear what they want and me too soo I wear English people also I have seen girl who is from USA
Super cloth India's big market in Surat City in Gujarat
Dear, in Hindu temple no need of scarf.
Only Sikh Gurudwara you need scarf for head cover.
We use scarf because in India bright sun light.
In northern India there is sand and dust. So use scarf from dust.
Otherwise as a hindu we never force to cover head.
Because we born naked.
Our hindu god accept as we are.
I like your personality
You look really good when you loosen the sleeves down showing the tank top of one of the shoulder. Please don't take this like I am intend to see in a bad note. It was looking just fine.
Black suits you well ma'am. I appreciate the advice you have given to foreign tourists. Yes to a large extent of places are not liberal but there are few.
I am sorry this is my second video of yours I watched just now , what's your name ma'am?
India is not conservative u can wear any clothes what u want but simple dress nd traditional dress look good nd beautiful
It better to avoid very short clothes
India is conservative. What are you talking about?
It isn't mandatory to wear scarf in India. We go out wearing sleeveless tops, shorts etc but the only rule is it must not be very revealing, otherwise you'll get unwanted attention.
One more advise india most city have ela and uber facility so use that so not to be cheated you can even book a auto too. Store free helpline number in your mobile of police ambulance etc. If someone behave badly with you or try to harass you shout loudly for help, people will help you immediately, if don't know something or puzzled about some places ask people freely most people understand english and will help you
I believe India is obviously conservative as I have seen living in towns. Hope this will ebb away gradually.
I want to say it's depends on you which city you are traveling. Even rural area they see you because you are foreigner.and don't care of others. You follow your culture.
It is india what u want u can wear anything.....no problem.
hola..PT ☺ ...How you doing ?
Hey lady first of all big thanks for sharing your honest opinion and thoughts I appreciate that, but I would like to mention that India is not so conservative, there's no certain norm about any dress code unlike the Arab or Islamic countries. Here women can wear anything they like to, no one can stop them, but women who wears decent clothes can roam more comfortably and inviting less stares from stalkers, it's not that women who wear short get less respect from society, its just an stereotype of indian society that concludes, short clothes = suspicious character. But everyone can wear anything except roaming nude, that's not allowed in India. And by decent clothes I don't mean only indian clothes, rather jeans and top are the most common attire for women's here, around 70% women in my area wears that only, just a thought that wearing too short clothes like mini skirt or shorts looks bit disgraceful according to our culture but we value and understand everyone's culture too, we know westerns wear shorts there, so its normal for them, that's why we take it easily, we know its common in west.
Best outfit to India: Pant + blouson tops,long cardigan for safer side
Wow kinda disappointed. I live in Manipal, Karnataka and girls here roam around in shorts all day. Now I know Manipal is a very liberal place but still, it's not like a city.
Even the foreign college students I met in Manipal were surprised by the freedom they saw here. They did not expect it LOL
Just saying but I understand why you would say India is conservative.
But India will modernise. Not saying westernize but modernise for sure.
I remember being in Bangalore in a mall and I saw a white girl wearing so short clothes like really a tight top with a lot of cleavage and so short pants and I felt kind of shy cause people might think all white people are like this.
The dressing is different I'm South & North India. In South India, cover up, I wear short sleeves tops (loose top not tight) with long pants. Whereas it's different in the North. But best to cover up, it's to protect yourself, respecting the Culture & Traditions & not get harassed as well. It's one of the BEST ways to protect yourself.
