Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Wearing of traditional dresses till date by Indian women is surprising for two reasons for me.

Indian men like men in other parts of world rarely wear traditional attires on daily basis. Kurta pajama is worn either as night wear or again on specific occasions. So it's women only who are still wearing the traditional dresses.

Another surprising fact is that salwar kameez or Punjab suits are also still worn by a lot of Indian women on almost daily basis.

No doubt ghaghra choli or lehangas aren't as common now. They are worn only on special occasions like weddings, festivals and some religious events.

Indian women want an elaborate wardrobe and are not ready to do away with their traditional dresses. They love their options.

Oh! I am sorry the question asked why Indian women have stopped wearing sarees and my answer is telling that why Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses.

The reason why Indian women are still wearing sarees and salwar kameez is that

They themselves find sarees and salwar suits more comfortable than western clothing. Wearing jeans and top in hot and humid weather can be torturous. A cotton saree or cotton salwar suit is more comfortable.

In most other countries women are no longer wearing the traditional outfits. Even if they do, it's only on specific or special occasions. You won't find Japanese women wearing Kimono to work or a European woman wearing the traditional frock to her office.

Surprisingly, not all Indian women have stopped wearing sarees. Sarees are still worn by a lot of Indian females at workplaces like by school teachers, college lectures, bankers and so on.

Some are hesitant to try the western dresses (mostly older age groups).

Saree is still worn on a normal routine day by many Indian women. There are then those Indian women who drape sarees only on special occasions like weddings and religious festivals and ceremonies.
