Why the bare legs?

[Sat1176]

Dearest Guru Ki Sangat,

Recently I came across a few Sikhs males who were wearing long kurtha chollas (normal members of the sangat) along with the 5 Ks yet they only appeared to be wearing their Khecharas with their legs left bare. This post is not a criticism but a simple query to ask the reasoning behind this?

Would we consider it appropriate if a lady were to dress the same?

Nihang Singhs always wear their bana without pajama but their kashera usually comes around 2inches below the knew so most of leg is covered up. There are a few people who wear a pajama with bana but maryada typically dont so we dont!!

All the old school singhs wuda been without pajama back in the day coz they stick to ya legs when you on the battlefield and coz they wuda been ready to fight at anytime, not practical to say "hol up g, needs to take ma trousers off" so they went without. Maybe in winter they mite have worn coz of the cold but thats it i guess...

I dnt hav your answer to the woman question but its like sayin something are jst the way they are huna?

Thanks for your response All-info. I have the utmost respect for any Sikh in bana :nihungsmile: and it kind of reinforced what I was already thinking. I came to the conclusion that it must have been down to extremely bad muddy conditions on the battle field where a trouser was not practical and would easily get dirty or ripped etc and would not be so easy to clean or change.

I don't think there's anything stopping a Bibi wearing a kachera in the Nihang style.

I think its just the comfort level.. and also that. people here aren't used to seeing girls bare their legs if they dont shave them......

i would love to know if girls do this though cus it is a good way to break the norm and give some people a few shocks at the same time hehe
