The top half is a tunic like the Dress Uniform and worn over the sari unlike some previous versions. This has been by and large replaced by a unisex version for the police and the Armed Forces

i like bollywood because duh but then again i hate how hegemonic it is on our society and its basically indian imperialist propaganda. 

all they do is spread stereotypes of all kinds of ethncites in south asia

pakistan= bearded guy who hates india (according to Indian liberal elites, India= Very Good. Pakistan= Very Bad Boy)

bengalis/oriyas= fish eating communist who hates speaking in hindi. Bad People

Your Delhi/Bombay boy= High Caste Hindu, fresh, Good Boy, 

Gujaratis= moneyleader and very cheap. Gujaratis= Bad. (according to Indian imperialist propaganda)

Punjabi= sharabi. A lot of Land. Very Misogynist. Punjabis= Bad

Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka: Very Educated Dark Skin Weird Language 

Bihar: Filled with Idiots. You know, Lalu Prashad! 

Rajasthan: Kya? Desert, right!? 

Northeast India: Who cares about them? How many people even speak Assamese!?! I love Darjeeling chai! 

Jammu and Kashmir: TERRORISTS 

these stereotypes of various ethnic groups are perpetuated by hindi films.
