[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, take it down.  If your MIL doesn't even speak English (I'm assuming Indian and not Pakistani or Bangladeshi?) then she's likely not from a large city or upper caste, since she would have learned English along with Hindi or Gujarati or fill-in-the-blank.  Point being that she's less likely to be cosmopolitan or liberal or however you want to phrase it, and more likely to be very traditional.  She may already be having a hard time with a non-SA DIL.  Just do your best, and let your DH run interference.

PP is right, you'll offend her somehow anyway, but best to minimize it by not hanging the sari she gave you as decor.

Op here. Point taken but will hanging any sari on the wall offend her? [b]Is that something only certain castes do[/b]? Is it never done in SA? I've asked my husband but he " doesn't know ". [/quote]

OMG.  Really????   You sound awful.

Take it down.  Nobody in India hangs their clothing on the wall.  Do you hang YOUR clothing on the walls for decoration?  What a weirdo.[/quote]
