This has come about as the result of insidious actions from people both within our community and some outside. 

Right now (in the UK) it's time we faced down the <banned word filter activated> amongst our own that promote this buckwaas under the guise of 'culture'.  Funny how the only 'culture' that gets promoted is kunjar culture that involves publically getting plastered and prancing about, whilst other more sophisticated elements of our Sikhi heritage - like reading literature, increasing our linguistic skills and vocabulary, shaster/aster training are totally ignored. 

Given the active promotion of the simple-minded 'cultural' things over the more intellectual/sophisticated ones - and that too for decades (if not over a century) - is it any wonder we're in the state we are in? 

agree with you, but you're wrong about calling chaadre / lungi a he-skirt or associating it with homos. Most guys who wear chaadra/lungi are uber manly and heterosexual.

Not with those guys I see wearing them on stages.......

 

Plus why are we discussing man-skirts on a Sikh forum when it's obvious that we were given kasheray in their place?????

A lot of the rural Punjab male population wore Chadras right up to the 1950s. Then the "bokshi" pyjama came into vogue and they were all the rage and apart from the older males all the youngsters wore these bokshi pyjamas. Bokshi were normal pyjamas but slightly wider and had a thin line pattern downwards. Never seen them  again in Punjab since the 1980s.
