OR Blog #32: Today I read an article from culture grams called "Personal Appearance". It told about the clothes that the people from the Indian culture wore. "Women generally wear a saree or a colorful pantsuit with a knee-length shirt", the article stated. This article shows a different culture through the way people dress. Inside of the indian culture, there are many appearance differences depending on your religion. For example, Sikhs may be seen wearing a turban, where as Hindus and Muslims might be seen wearing a long shirt with pants, possibly accompanied by a jacket/vest. I also think that it is cool to see the different clothes that people of different cultures where. It would be boring if we would all were the same thing. This blog topic relates to the book, Nectar in a Sieve, because Rukmani and Nathan see differences in culture when they are kicked off their land and travel to their sons home. Most of the things they see are different from what they are used to at their old home. That's what I read and blogged about for this Sunday's outside reading blog.
