Indian film costumes, over time, have shown us that it's not the unravelling of the sari but the sexualization of the traditional ghagra-choli, that has been an indicator of the moral fabric of India. In Choli Ke Peche Kai Hai (What is Behind the Blouse), the lyrics, packed with sexual innuendos, went hand-in-hand with the heaving rhythm of both-blouse (choli) and bosom. The delightful blasphemy of wearing a choli sans dupatta (hitherto a classic symbol of Indian modesty) completely demolished the sanctity of nursing bosoms into the carnality of voluptuous breasts.
