Indian women and saris?

it shows more skin, and they are taught to be embarrassed about their bodies.

Haha, of course Indian women wear sleeveless blouses. Though, I would say that it's the younger women who experiment with different blouse designs. Modern blouse designs are becoming more and more risque anyway; some simply look like blingy bikini tops. Just for your information, in some regions in India, women don't even wear the blouse!

Many people think Indian women are so modest, and they are, but as you have said, the sari is designed to show some skin. The typical sari draping exposes a great portion of the breasts, the back, the waist, the hip bones, and the navel. Culturally, these are all symbols of fertility in women, and fertility is something that is highly revered in traditional Indian societies.

I hope this helps!

No that's not right. Indian women do wear sleeveless blouse saris, especially those Bollywood actresses and the younger modernized Indian women.

Edit: Of course the average girls wear sleeveless saris, why else do you think they sell them online?
