So 15th August is a very important and special day for each and every Indians in this whole world. Yes, it’s the day when we all got the independence or freedom to live as Indians and with our own rules. So I wish a very ‘HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY’🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 to all my Indian viewers and friends. We often forget the real meaning of independence as we all are busy with our own life and work . And it’s a normal thing. But sometimes we need to remind ourselves and ask ourselves about our own freedom- Are we really free??? To be honest, No. We aren’t fully free as we need to obey some rules and regulations in order to safeguard our own freedom. Freedom varies from person to person, work to work, character to character and vice versa. I hope you all are able to understand what I wanted to convey i.e, though we are not fully free, but we can enjoy what we want cause it has to be within the limits.

India has 28 different states and 8 territories (present day) along with 16 unique traditions and customs. Also people here speak 22 different types of language!! Isn’t it crazy??? Yes , it is. So, we also have many different kinds of dresscode all over the India. But the traditional dresscode of India is Saree for women and Dhoti for men. But how did we make it???? Well, I didn’t make atleast but all the brave freedom fighters and protesters did establish our tradition and culture. They fought for thousands of years just to earn the freedom of millions of other Indian’s and also the freedom of India. I guess this is the reason why we need to preserve our culture, our tradition and raise our country well.

Okay, so today’s topic is all about Indian Ethnics. So below one fabric map of India is visualised…..

Here we can see different traditional fabrics from different places of India. This map is really very unique and I think this gives us a lot of information about our own cultures.

I was really amazed by seeing this map for the first time as some of the fabrics and their origins I knew were wrong and they were originally from somewhere else where I didn’t expect them to be. So sometimes we may not know each and every thing about our own customs, but we can definitely learn about them someday .

Independence or freedom is not only for our rights and our country. It’s also states the freedom of fashion and styling. We often find that we should not judge anyone by their outer appearance. Yes I too agree. Don’t use fashion for discriminating anyone. But one wrong concept that our society had adapted a long time ago is that our dressing style doesn’t matter at all. If this concept is really logical then I think there is no need of wearing school uniform in school. Instead we could easily wear casual clothes or pajama set that we wear at our homes. Now it’s upto you what this concept means to you and how would you prove this concept the logical one, if you believe it. For me it’s our own conscience which always guides us in every aspects of our life, not this stereotypical concepts.

I hope we can build ourselves more beautifully and smartly so that no one can harm us in any way. Once again HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY.
