In India, where language, dialect and dress changes at a distance of few hundred kilometers, there is similarity in one thing and that is the dress of our leaders. That is, in every state, every village and every town of the country, whoever wants to become a leader or wants to be seen as a leader, wears a white kurta pajama. But now the big question is that from where did it start. Who said that Indian leaders will wear only white kurta pajama. Let us know the answer to this question.
When Shashi Tharoor was asked a question
According to a report in The News Minute, once when Congress veteran Shashi Tharoor arrived at a child welfare society’s vacation camp, a child there asked him why he always kept a tricolor shawl on his shoulder. . On this, Shashi Tharoor had said that he does this because white clothes are for mourning. Now a question arises from here that when white clothes are for mourning, then why do the leaders of India always wear white clothes.
Why do politicians wear white clothes in India?
The answer to this question is hidden in India’s freedom struggle. During the Indian independence movement, when Mahatma Gandhi gave the slogan of Swadeshi, people gathered foreign clothes and set them on fire. After this, Mahatma Gandhi inspired the Indian people to wear Khadi cloth made from Charkha. Actually Gandhiji saw it as a symbol of self-reliance and clothes made of Khadi were mostly white in colour. Gradually it became the cloth of the leaders. After this people doing politics and social service always started appearing in white clothes.
On the other hand, if we see traditionally, white color is a symbol of truth and non-violence. Whereas kurta, pajama, dhoti, and cap is an Indian traditional wear. Along with this, there are some other reasons behind wearing white. As this color looks very appealing. Along with this, when you wear white colored kurta pajama, then simplicity is visible in you. This is the reason why every leader and most of the social workers in India wear white clothes.
