What are the reasons for India traditional clothes?

Depends on the reason and seasons there as you may find more cotton cloths and loose dresses in hot areas. covered heads where dust in the air and more colourful cloths in deserted areas.

1. Here is some general, background reading. You will see that traditional dress is more associated with Spain's regions than with the nation as a whole.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Spain#Dress_Style\nhttp://www.britannica.com/ebi/article-208449\n\n2. Here are some pics of regional costumes that I found for you. \n(a) Miscellaneous\n(i) Regions not stated - Feria de San Isidro (photopages 4-9) \nhttp://www.feriasanisidrocastalla.com/contenido.php?ppage=4&lang=en&seccion=8&anyo=2006#nogo\n(ii) Various regions\nhttp://www.escuelai.com/spanish_culture/fiestas_espanolas/dias_festivos.html#PATIOS_DE_CÓRDOBA\n(b) Andalucia (Sevilla)\nhttp://www.andalucia.com/festival/home.htm\nhttp://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Spain/Andalucia/Sevilla-253763/Things_To_Do-Sevilla-R-29.html\n(c) Canary Islands\nhttp://www.upliftingwords.org/News/20031217Canary.htm\n(d) Balearic Islands\nhttp://news.com.com/2062-10812_3-0.html?date=20060410\n(e) Valencia\nhttp://www.thinkspain.com/news/fotonoticia.asp?CodNoticia=3421&foto=foto3421_2.jpg\n\n3. Now let's see if you can find regional costumes for other Spanish regions:\n(a) Castilla y Leon\n(b) Catalonia\n(c) Galicia\n(d) Asturias\n(e) Cantabria\n(f) the Basque Country \n(g) La Rioja\n(h) Madrid\n(i) Murcia \n(j) Navarra

It would be hard for India to match US's standard because of the existing India culture. Due to some religous belief which hinders India's development.

1. Presumably the words "What are the ..." are missing from your question. If you can't be bothered to ask a proper question, you can hardly expect to get a proper answer.\n\n2. I would suggest these as a start:\na) traditional/folk music\nb) traditional costume\nc) normally danced either in pairs or as a larger group\nd) likely to be practised:\n(i) in rural or small urban areas (not in cities)\n(ii) where culture is perceived to be under threat of suppression or extinction.\n\n3. You should find out what you can on the internet. Yahoo! Answers is not a great place to get answers to a question such as this. I recommend searching at www.dogpile.com

Its already the Indians are fond of jwels and they have the traditional design in the jwels that itself is enough scope for the jwellery design in INDIA. Because we are rich in culture and we are one of the  country which has the rich cultural heritage

I think you are talking about the high fashion world.  It just so happens that we live in a culture where we are bombarded with images of fame and wealth.  People tend to see fashion as a means of connecting to "higher classes", or showing off the class they are in.  This is the reason designers can cater to the wealthy and have so much success making cheaper products for the rest of the consumers.  Jane Celebrity can wear a $10,000 dress from Dior.  Jane Normal can buy some Dior sunglasses for $150 and somehow feel like she's part of that world.  \n\nBut fashion in general is influenced by many things in each culture.  Not all fashion is high fashion.  It can be related to culture/religion, class, societal expectations (ie, here we're expected to cover up), climate, availability of resources, occupation (jeans were first made for sailors, then workers), even politics.  Fashion can be very important.  It has a purpose and conveys a message upon first glance.

Agriculture\n\nAbout two-thirds of all Indians derive their livelihood directly from agriculture, a proportion that is not much smaller than it was at the beginning of the 20th century. The area cultivated, however, has risen steadily and is now considerablymore than half of the nation's total area, a proportion matchedby few countries in the world. Inthe more fertile regions, such as the Indo-Gangetic Plain or the deltas of the eastern coast, the proportion of cultivated to total land often exceeds 90 percent.\n\n\nAlthough the average farm size is only about five acres (two hectares) and is declining, that figure masks the markedly skewed distribution of landholdings. More than half of all farms are less than three acres in size, while much of the remainder is controlled by a small number of relatively affluent peasants and landlords. Most cultivators own farms that provide little more than a bare subsistence for their families. Further, nearly one-third of all agricultural households own no land at all and, along with many submarginal landowners, must work for the larger landholders or must supplement their earnings from some subsidiary occupation, often the one traditionally associated with their caste.\n\nAgricultural technology has been undergoing rapid change inIndia. Government-sponsored, large-scale canal irrigation projects, begun by the British in the mid-19th century, were greatly extended after independence, but there has been a shift in emphasis toward deep wells (called tube wells in India), often privately owned, from which water is raised either by electric or diesel pumps. Important in several parts of India, especially the southeast, is “tank” irrigation, in which water is drawn from small reservoirs created along the coursesof minor streams.\n\nThe demand for chemical fertilizers also has been steadily increasing, although since the late 1960s the introduction of new hybrid, high-yielding varieties of seeds (HYVs), mainly for wheat and secondarily for  rice, has brought about the most dramatic increases in production, especially in Punjab (where their adoption is virtually universal), Haryāna, western Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarāt. So great has been the success of the so-called Green Revolution that India was able to build up buffer  grain stocks sufficient for the country to weather several years of disastrously bad monsoons with virtually no imports or starvation and even managed to become, in some years, a modest net food exporter. During the same period, the production of coarse grains and pulses, which were less in demand than rice and wheat, either did not increase significantly or decreased. Hence, the total per capita grain production has been notably less than that suggested by many protagonists of the Green Revolution, and the threat of major food scarcity has not been eliminated.\n\nMost Indian farms grow little besides food crops, especially cereal grains, and these account for more than three-fifths of the area under cultivation. Foremost among the grains, in terms of both area sown and total yield, is rice, the crop of choice in almost all areas with more than 40 inches (1,000 millimetres) of average annual precipitation, as well as in someirrigated areas. Wheat ranks second in both area sown and total yield, and, because of the use of HYVs, leads all grains in yield per acre. Wheat is grown mainly on the fertile soils of northern and northwestern India in areas with 15 to 40 inchesof average annual precipitation, often with supplementary irrigation. Unlike rice, which is mainly grown during the kharif (summer) season, wheat is primarily a rabi (cool-season) crop. Other important cereals, in descending order of sown acreage, are sorghum (called jowar in India), pearl millet (or bajra), corn (maize), and finger millet (or ragi). All of these typically are grown on relatively infertile soils unsuitable for rice or wheat, while corn cultivation is also favoured in hilly and mountainous reg

India is one of the most exotic places in the world that offers such a rich and ancient history, culture, music, art, religion and traditions.\n\nIndia gained its independence from the British rule in 1947 and is a fairly "young" republic. But with a population of over a billion people today, the country is plagued with poverty that seems insurmountable due to the corruption in government that remains unchecked, a lackluster economy, and perhaps an aftermath of their customary caste system.\n\nThere has been on-going border tension between India [majority Hindus] and its neighbor, Pakistan [majority Muslims] in that sub-continent part in Asia.\n\nOne thing I admire among its people is their manner of greeting each other--with both palms together in prayer form as they nod to greet--which symbolizes their 'RESPECT TO THE DEITY WITHIN' the other person. Ain't that so great?\n\nMore people should practice that tradition openly... And perhaps we will have a much better world to live in!

If it is available in India, then it has more duty. \n\nThis encourages the use of Indian goods.

It is very important as part of company's strategy, but you must be talented to do so. There are a lot of people that are trained in the shops - all they would be interested is if you have any previous experience and how you understand the fashion in those countries. It is very important, that is for sure.

haha very nice question. Its an Indian tradition.. its considered to be a symbol of prestige... Traditionally people of scheduled and lower castes (dalits) were not allowed to keep moustaches.. it was only the upper castes like rajputs and thakurs who keep long moustaches...\nas casteism doesnt exists anymore.. most of the Indians keep moustaches... as a symbol of prestige.

there are lots of similarities between modern and ancient india. \n\nTo start off, sanskrit is still the religious language of choice.\n\nHinduism, buddhism, and Jainism are still around and healthy\n\nAyurveda the indian medical system is still around, and big pharmaceutical giants read the texts and try to patent the medical compounds so they can sell what is essentially free. ( sorry couldnt resist that)\n\nceremonial clothes are still very similar\n\nthe caste system is still alive and kicking\n\nthere are a lot of things in India that could be traced back a long long time, so I am sure there are a lot more similarities than I just mentioned here.

The "Saree" is the traditional costume of Maharashtra\nThe main costume for the women is the unstitched length of cloth, the evergreen and graceful ‘Saree’, though the style of draping, and the length of the cloth varies from region to region.\n\nA petticoat - which is a waist-to-floor garment, tied tightly at the waist by a drawstring. The petticoat color should match the base sari color as closely as possible.  \nA blouse - which needs to be tight-fitting and whose color needs to be chosen keeping the look of the sari in mind
