Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Indian men like men in other parts of world rarely wear traditional attires on daily basis. Kurta pajama is worn either as night wear or again on specific occasions. So it's women only who are still wearing the traditional dresses.

Oh! I am sorry the question asked why Indian women have stopped wearing sarees and my answer is telling that why Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses.

That's me wearing an Indian outfit for a movie. Maybe my grandchildren or great grandchildren would be surprised that we wore traditional clothes for such outings or as on office wear.

The cultural upbringing or the restrictions by family don't allow them to wear western dresses.

Surprisingly, not all Indian women have stopped wearing sarees. Sarees are still worn by a lot of Indian females at workplaces like by school teachers, college lectures, bankers and so on.

The reason why Indian women are still wearing sarees and salwar kameez is that

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.

No doubt ghaghra choli or lehangas aren't as common now. They are worn only on special occasions like weddings, festivals and some religious events.

Indian women want an elaborate wardrobe and are not ready to do away with their traditional dresses. They love their options.

Saree is still worn on a normal routine day by many Indian women. There are then those Indian women who drape sarees only on special occasions like weddings and religious festivals and ceremonies.

Another surprising fact is that salwar kameez or Punjab suits are also still worn by a lot of Indian women on almost daily basis.

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

Wearing of traditional dresses till date by Indian women is surprising for two reasons for me.

In most other countries women are no longer wearing the traditional outfits. Even if they do, it's only on specific or special occasions. You won't find Japanese women wearing Kimono to work or a European woman wearing the traditional frock to her office.

Well, for me it's more surprising that Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses rather than why some have stopped wearing them altogether.

How can you maintain self-control?

Some are hesitant to try the western dresses (mostly older age groups).
