'Apparently indians never learnt the art of stitching garments.' of course they did stop with your silly commenting , women did embroideries fashioned soft furnishings, waistcoats , jackets , blouses , ghagras, pyjamian , kameez,

all the items of clothing you mentioned are from medieval era onwards. Remember muslims came in india way back in 8th century. Invasions started by 10th century onwards. Mughals were not the first islamic dynasts of india

Kacchare (remember how would Ram give Kacch to hanuman if there was no concept of sewing) etc

if you are saying kurtas were only existing from medivael times you are not aware of kurtas existing as far south as Sri Lanka  and the root of the name taken from sanskrit word kuratu or kurtaka . Yes there pathani kurtas but there are many different types of kurta

India's historical development didn't stop at vedic or harappan times . It was Greek ,persian fashions that influenced Mauryan empire people to start developing upper body garments . That was 2100 years ago..

Kurta, ghagra choli, dupatta/ghunghat all are Indian.  Salwar is the only thing that is islamic. You need to realize that south asia is massive, and depending on the region and its culture, tradition and climate people had different clothing. North Indian women have been wearing ghagra choli way before the islamic invasions. Ghungat or dupatta/chunni has been worn by higher caste indian women for 1000s of years, way before the muslims even came. In fact even in valmikis ramayan sita covers her face with a ghungat/dupatta and then before leaving for the jungle ram asks sita to lift her ghungat and unveil herself before the crowd.   

painting from gujarat dating back to 1350    the women are clearly wearing a stitched choli blouse

heres another painting from the 12th century and the lady in the middle is wearing a blouse

 

heres a indian buddhist painting from 1075.  its from bihar    once again this lady is depicted wearing a choli blouse

another very old early rajput painting

 

obviously in south india the culture, traditions and climate is very different to they wore less clothes, but in north india women have been wearing ghagra choli with dupatta way before the muslims invaded.
