This is the absorbing story of
how the British Raj brought lasting changes in the way people dressed and
used textiles in Punjab. Many men became Westernized and followed English
fashions to the hilt. Others simply wore Western garments like coats or overcoats
along with their kurta and pyjama. Interesting outfits evolved, with both
Western and Indian elements. Women’s styles too were impacted, albeit to a
lesser degree. As Western accessories made an entry, Indian ornamentation
retreated. New fabrics and materials were appreciated and accepted. These,
along with Western techniques and motifs, even appeared in the form of
household items, to complement the new furnishings and ways of living.
