It is all about convenience in India and it also depends whether it is urban or rural India. Most of the people in Metropolitan ,urban and semi-urban cities in India wear western clothes. Traditional dress is worn both by men and women for family, religious and other social occasions. Traditional Indian clothes are phasing out , except for specific occasions.
