[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so few women of your culture take part in rigorous activites like biking, marathons and so on?
Why hasn't someone make the saris availble to everyone? The ones sold here are cheap, not the same quality that people get in India.[/quote]

No real religious explanation. I personally have trained for and run a half marathon. Don't know why other Hindus arent seeking out such activities or if they in fact are. we are still a small population in the US.

Saris are available to everyone. India's 1 billion person population is testament :). Quality differs greatly here and in India. You just have to know where to shop in both countries. [/quote]

I think there is room to to a nice business importing them, I would so love to get a nice one and wear it properly to a formal event. It is the perfect outfit for so many occaisions. BTW, I knew that something was not right about the Salahis because she was not wearing that sari properly. [/quote]

Not the OP, but there are actually quite a few stores (in the area and not in the area) that import and sell nice saris, you just need to know where to look.  Most people get them from India because there is more selection and they are much more affordable there than here (b/c of import costs, and people needing to make a larger profit due to  higher cost of living, etc...)

As for Michelle Salahi, she was not wearing a sari, rather something called a lengha choli (there are different names for this, too) - which is a skirt and top and a long scarf to be draped across (there are many different ways to do this).
