In the 19th century, indian men switched over to more than conveneint western clothing but women were obliged to continue wearing traditional indian dress becuase they were bound by the traditions, customs and social values of india.Indian society was a patriarchal society or male dominated society and womenwere supposed to uphold the family honour and wear traditional cloths.This implies the women were considered as a inferior to men in indian society.
