You can get round the curves issue easily by wearing a longer shirt or jacket and/or looser fit jeans.. this is what a lot of Arab hijabi girls do as well as those in Iran and Turkey.. they aren't as hung up on making girls dress the way their mothers and grandmothers did.. It's perfectly possible to dress in western clothes and still look modest.
its possible but often thats not the case
i`m only going by what i have seen desi girls wear in Canada tho
i guess the problem he had with women wearing jeans is that most of them wear jeans just bc they think its cool and salwar kameez is for paindoos i guess he didn`t like that
i think that guy is Canadian born so i am pretty sure he has no problem with girls wearing jeans but i guess he doesnt like the reason behind it???
whats wrong with wearing salwar kameez?? im pretty sure its comfortable, easy to wear.
Culture is fluid, it has internal and external influences. in that change there is good and there is bad.
expecting that the culture will be static is wrong. There are things we now take as part of the pak culture which our ancestors would be shocked at, but such is life. although I must add that in some cases there are also things that were parts of culture that have gone away with waves of puritanical approach over last few decades.
i agree. culture is not something that is static. it changes with time. and all culture borrow from others.

Yeah, jeans and western clothes do often show curves but so do modern shalwar khameez as well, in both cases u can choose to be as modest or daring as u want. I really can't see any difference in terms of how decent/indecent the two things are..
Nothing wrong with wearing shalwar khameez at all but that should go for both sexes. If guys like to wear western clothing they should not be complete hypocrites and respect the fact that girls should have the right to choose to wear western or eastern as well.. Imo a mix (prob not at the same time :D) is best. Those who are 'scared' of their women sometimes wearing western clothes are the insecure ones imo
okay, i know somebody at my summer work, who recently came back from Pakistan. He was there for about 2 months. He was talking to me, how felt that ppl down there blindly copy Americans to a point, where you get a feeling they have no pride in desi culture, lack of self esteem.
-prefer to eat at Mc.dicks compare to better meals at similar price (it's western=cool),
-girls wearing jeans (in fact there was a post today where someone stated "only paindoos wear salwar kameez")
-they TRY to speak English, when everybody around them can speak punjabi, urdu
-people look up to you, if you can speak English (Billions of ppl could, what's so special)
-He gave somebody DOLCE & GABBANA shirt, person didn't like it b/c it was made in Italy instead of USA (moron)
-Fair & Lovely is used in masses to get pale skin (that's sad)
he gave me so many ex's, these are just few top of my head. He was asking me, why desi copy Americans so much? i told him it was always like this. He disagreed with me and said it's 10 times worse. Now, i havn't been to Pakistan in few years.
I believe there are people on GS, who are either in Pakistan or visit Pakistan often and i would like to hear your point of view.
May be its for the very same reason your parents migrated to USA.

Migrating to a country doesn't mean you are copying them or looking up to them. Whites migrated to africa and they still thought they were superior to blacks (NOT that saying it's right, just making a point).
Have you met some of the western born desi, they pretend they can't speak urdu, punjabi, hindi etc but when they are home all they do is talk to their grandparents in punjabi, hindi etc (that is from my personal experience)
Have you ever ran into white guys who act so black to a point where it's kind of embarrassing? that's the feeling he got when he was in Pakistan.
