Abstract

In the recent years the Salwar Kameez has become an
integral part of women’s costume in the Indian subcontinent. Yet only a few are
aware of its true origin. Even though the bifurcated and stitched garments were
popularly worn during the slave dynasty, these costumes became more predominant
and influential by the advent of the Mughals. The present day Salwar Kameez,
also popular as one of the traditional Indian costumes today, traces back its
origin to the Persian influence which was brought to India by the Mughals who
followed Islam. This exchange of cultures with reference to the Salwar Kameez
is an interesting aspect for study which focuses on the connection of these two
different worlds. The Salwar Kameez has since then been transformed into
various styles to develop it as a trendy yet comfortable costume for the modern
Indian woman. The costume, once worn only by the Muslim women across the
subcontinent, is now popular among the women of all faith and ages. This
research aims to study the introduction of the Salwar Kameez in the Indian
subcontinent and its gradual acceptance into the Indian culture. The author
also studies the style adaptations of the Salwar Kameez in the various Indian
states as well as in the subcontinent. 
The exchange of styles across the subcontinent is also studied and
analyzed by the author.
