I’m pretty sure that they know. If younger people follow this trend, it isn’t because they don’t know that it isn’t traditional culture. It’s more a case of wanting to emulate a different culture which they view as trendy. Honestly, I don’t think open condemnation will have any effect as when people want to do something, they tend to find a way around obstacles. Also, open condemnation of something makes people more drawn to it.

I can’t agree to this, as I’ve observed change in cultural attitudes myself. Our tolerance level has increased a lot to accommodate ‘Sheela ki Jawani’ and like stuff in our households. We felt very cool in condemning Zia ul Haq when he asked PTV’s announcers wear dupatta, but probably now our tolerance level makes us feel conservative / orthodox, when we see such dresses on our national media.
