Safaid Posh

How does this word became representative of middle class?

Were colored clothes more expensive than white clothes, when this term was coined?

Re: Safaid Posh

^ well bhaiya ur question is quite interesting.. with these 2 parts..

Firstly I would love to explain that Safaid Posh.. actually means The Person who wears white/glowing clothes...
Also its a term used for BHALA-MAANS...Innocent/ SHAREEF TABAA'A...Clam...

Secongly... it is actually representing the lower middle class.. with the people who are earning hand to mouth or maybe less.. but stanced firmly without asking for help...

And according to my point of view... color doesnt matters but the quality do...!!!

Re: Safaid Posh

aap ne ye nahin suna ke safaid poshi ka bharam rakhna mahaal ho gaya hai

Re: Safaid Posh

Boski is not a color, it type of cloth.. boski Double ghoRa :bummer:

Some people in rural Sindh got special fondness for this Boski and they consider it status symbol :smack:

Re: Safaid Posh

very well explained, but my question is why they selected white for middle class. were colors not affordable for this class. As far as I know, in old times, you couldn't have colored clothes and you have to ask rangrez to color white clothes. In our childhood, it was common that ladies used to send their dupattas to rangrez for coloring.

Han suna hai, per bharam tou like kisi bari ya nam wali chez ka rakha jata hai na tou muje laga Jo rich hain wo kehte hain yeh,,

And what does mean by 'posh ilaeky Mai ghar'

Lol but gone are those days, now everyone is wearing it :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Safaid Posh

That posh is English. Meaning nice, cool, stylish, or like upper-class.

Re: Safaid Posh

It lost importance due to popularity of western clothes

No people still like it, even people of Punjab also wear boski.

Then it’s like white posh?? :confused:

Re: Safaid Posh
