In Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, i*t is most commonly* a woman's garment, albeit still worn by some men
my observation
in pakistan we wear arabic pants kinda shalwar.
in india they wear skinny jeans kinda chooridar pajama.
in pakistan, women used to and still many go with covering the entire thign.
in india, they usually wear deep galas. (sikh women dont)
in india, sri lanka, bangladesh, after marriage many women only wear sari.
in india, if men wear traidional dress then they dont wear same shalwar as pakistani men do. it either chooridar or langoot kinda.
