Re: Bangladeshi

I’m memon. We wear saris with stomach showing. It’s the Gujarati influence. But like everyone else who is muslim people have moved away from these things and even with saris you find a way to cover up. Still have weddings in our families where people show up in traditional Gujarati sari.

Saris aren’t in fashion now so not worn as much.

I dunno, who cares. I’d be marrying the guy. He isn’t showing his midriff in a sari so what do I care.

Thank god for that.

Very few desi girls have the body for a sari. And sari on chubby is grotesque. Shivers.

Sarhi can be a very good dress but true very few women know how to carry that.

I think now a days women can wear anything even something a guy would wear but as far as dresses which are purely for women are concerned they have their own attraction which can’t be neglected.

Bengali has nothing to do with Banglore. Two completely different parts of the country. Bengalis are from Bengal, which lies in the eastern part of India but was called West Bengal. East Bengal is what became Bangladesh.

Banglore is in South Indian, Karnataka.

Completely different languages and culture.

I thought she meant it a a joke.

@Paheli00

Any particular reason Bangladeshi’s should be rejected b/c of their race/nationality?

If the two people’s values/interests/personality etc. all are compatible, both are Muslims, and both sets of parents/siblings are willing to at the least tolerate one another…then why does it matter if one happens to be Bangladeshi?

Agree with Paheli00
As long as both of you are Muslim and are compatible, nothing else should matter…rejecting someone on the basis of their age, nationality, race and looks is looked down upon in Islam btw.

On another note, not all Bangladeshis eat fish and rice all the time:smack:
As long as both of you speak English ( so that you both have a common language to communicate) should be okay. You can teach your kids both Urdu and Bengali

PCG, I’m part Bengali and in terms of religion obviously they’re Muslim but culturally they’re much more similar to Indians (Indians in Kolkata in West Bengal speak Bengali as well)..

If your language and culture is very important to you best not.. Bengalis on the whole are much more laid back when in comes to religion as well as culture as a whole and the vast majority will be ok with showing more skin than Pakistanis so if a saree with an exposed tummy or things along those lines mught be considered offensive/indecent to you or your family again best not..

Re the obsession with fish some people seem to have.. Most middle and upper-class families eat as much meat, if not more.. That’s a very old generalisation..

Im Bangladeshi too and really do not agree with your statement that we’re laid back and okay with showing skin. In fact most of us are actually more conservative than our neighbours.

Nah.. people can be quite particular about those things yet seemingly mature on the surface..

I know plenty of mils as well as dils who wouldn’t stand for wearing a saree instead of shalwar khameez or vice versa.. As seen in other threads people can be quite defensive of their own culture and part of that includes the way they dress.. Even wearing/not wearing a dupatta can become an issue in some families..

Well if that was true the saree would not be the national dress, would it?

(I mean the saree how **most **in Bangladesh wear it with the short blouse and tummy showing.. there are exceptions like Sylhetis who tend to be more conservative and those from Noakhali etc. but the majority of people in Dhaka, Khulna etc won’t bat an eyelid nowadays if a dupatta isn’t worn and when the azaan is called we aren’t even expected to cover our heads anymore, not in the larger places anyway.. Unlike Pakistan Bangladesh is a secular country after all and even if the people are mostly Muslim religion does not play as great a role)

Yes it is the national dress. Mainly because majority of the population are immigrants from West Bengal of India. Older women usually wear the saari on a day to day basis.
Past 2 -3 generations hardly wear saaris ( except for weddings maybe or special occasions). Day to day girls wear shalwar kameez over there. Even when wearing saaris, women make sure to wear them as modestly as possible with no skin showing

Re: Bangladeshi

^They nearly ALL wear a short blouse so yeah the tummy is on show.. If they were that bothered by skin showing they’d choose to wear the longer length blouses rather than the usual cropped ones (longer so they cover the tummy and arms if they want)..

Sarees are not normally worn by younger girls cause they aren’t practical, they’re time-consuming to put on etc. It’s the same in India, isn’t it.. Even the lehengas that are worn in Bangladesh tend to be the Indian style ones with the cropped tops so that’s hardly modest and nowhere near the level of coverage that Pakistani clothes give.. Why do they not choose to wear the longer tops that completely cover the belly..

Where’s your family from? I’ve never heard of anyone else say the saree is worn with no skin showing.. Not sure where you got the bit about the majority of the population being immigrants from West Bengal either or why Ethan Hunt is liking posts he has no clue about

Simple google image search for “bangladesh women”

i dont think i see a single woman in anything but sarees.

[Deeba1234]

Re: Bangladeshi

She probably meant middle-class college girls, those who are a bit younger and living in urban areas.. They typically wouldn’t bother with a saree on a day-to-day basis.. Again similar to India..

For married women and/or those not working (or living in rural areas as in much of the country) sarees are still very much the norm..
