Indian Women, quit your jewelry.

As time passes by and my experience in India enriches my culture. I came to the following deduction about the real status of Indian women in India and how it reflects on dress codes.

Before I visited India, The Indian woman traditional dress code was one of the most romantic and sexy, I knew about. More romantic than the middle east 1001 nights, the sounds of bangles were exotic to me.

Now that I know some things about India, I will say that the sounds of bangles, rings and chains that Indian women wear as long as the henna they paint their "gracile" hands and feet with are now tainted with some questionning that may turn to horror.

I invite you to follow that strange decryption I did about some of the most traditional Indian Women Outfit.

I find exotic and ethnic the piercing of the nostril. It has no impact on me as long as it remains a dove (payed devotion to laxmi?) or a small size jewel to enlight, magnify the natural grace of Indian Women profile.
Magnification that turns to disgrace to me when the jewelry happens to be a giant ring (the worst being the giant ring with a chain going to the hearings.)
In my culture, these only exist, are designed for: Cattle (the last one being close to: the luggage handle.)
Am I outrageous to anyone by saying that I find there a sign of a mercantile design of woman body? Anyway, how convenient it may be to tame a recalcitrant bride and bring her to the groom! with such a ring to grab. Gold, Silver, Pearls will make no differnces here.

I find exotic and teasing the sounds of kanganas when they mark the gentle steps of a woman on her daily travels. It is like a perfume filling the air.
Am I outrageous to anyone by thinking that It is an fantastic lead? Anyway, how convenient it may be to know were the recalcitrant bride is walking to.

I find exotic and romantic the henna tatoos for they bind graces of nature to the body of women. The flowers, the volutes and curls ,to invoke the spring of a lifetime and the blossoming of new hopes, are only abstracts to highlight beauty.
Question comes to me when I consider the fingertips and sole henna tatoos.
Am I outrageous to anyone by saying that I find there signs of masking violent evidences? Anyway, how convenient these tatoos are to hide wounds made to a recalcitrant bride by the rocks she grabed not to be taken away from her home by dad and brother.

These might be pure delirium and then turn your disconsideration on with me but I know how huggly mankind is.

A year ago, being asked who had the most restricting social stand, I would have answered Middle East Islamic Woman. I was wrong.

An indian girl when married loses everything: family, friends, temples and urban habits. She turns to being her husband wife and that is it. Only goes with her some jewelry and tatoos.
