Abstract

This research tries to explore the clothing patterns and practices of ancient India and the influence of British with regard to nudity and obscenity. The research employs Edward Said‟s “Orientalism” to understand how the British view Indians and their attempts in changing the clothing patterns of Indians. It also traces media reports to show the impact of postcolonial practices in India in recent times and how shaming people for “showing too much skin” is similar to the Britisher‟s view of the orient and how it has become extremely gendered.
