All scriptures and sculptures from ancient India stand testimony to our liberal outlook on matters of sex, dancing and drinking. Women walked around the streets topless and men accepted it as the norm. There were no untoward incidents. It was not until the Victorian era, when the British came to India that women were actually made to cover themselves up with blouse pieces. Blouses are actually a very Victorian concept. The British are the ones who made our women wear the cholis.
when Queen Victoria of England in the 19th century sent her men to rule India, what they saw of the country baffled them quite a bit. There were the madhushalas (drinking pubs in today’s parlance), the Devadasi dancers (we can call it dance bars of todays), the Konark temple and the Khajuraho temple which they discovered were much more liberal than the closed outlook of the Victorian era. Our culture has always celebrated the beauty of human body. That goes back to the stone age, much before the metals were discovered. And the bronze statues of goddess Lakshmi, Parvathi and lord Shiva in the various dynasties all depicted nudity.

Women not covering their breasts was accepted as a norm in many parts of India.
While the upper-class women had been clothed fully, other women had gone topless in public in many parts of North India including Maharashtra and the Ganges basin before the Muslim conquest of India.
The rise of Mughals in India was also responsible for certain changes in Indian women's attire like covering the head and the breasts.
It was the influence of the Mughal empire that gave birth to garments like the salwar kameez which is virtually seen as a one of the common dresses in India today.
Another example is that of Kerala where women covering their breasts was considered as a sign of class and only upper caste women belonging to certain clans were allowed to cover their breasts.
The majority ethnic group (Malayali) only allowed women of the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes to wear tops (only until 1858).
But the British influence became stronger over time and it was then, when the terms 'blouse' and 'petticoat' made the leap into Indian vocabulary.

Wait .. there is a good BBC article about this ..
This week in India a man slapped actress Gauhar Khan on a TV set for wearing a "short dress" and news emerged of outrage in a Mumbai law college at a strict dress code imposed on students. Fashion historian Toolika Gupta looks at ideas of decorum in fashion across India through the ages.
Every country has its own erogenous zones. What many Indians today believe are home-grown ideas of decorum and modesty are in fact British imports - bequeathed to us by the Raj.
The earliest representations of women show them with minimal clothing.
Images from the Gupta period - about the 7th or 8th Century - show stitched upper garments along with a breast band, as well as a lower garment.
But the regional variations are interesting. In southern India, even in colonial times, some women did not cover the upper part of their body. And throughout India's history of contact with different cultures - with Greek, Roman, Arab and Chinese influences coming in - fashions and ideas began to change.
In the 15th Century we see Muslim and Hindu women wearing different outfits and the influence of the Mughal empire was decisive - they ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 17th Centuries. I have not seen written codes about how to dress, but Muslim women normally covered themselves and wore divided garments. These outfits gave birth to garments like the salwar kameez - virtually seen as a national dress in India today.
In Bengal, in the Victorian era, some women did not wear blouses under their saris - they went bare-breasted. This did not suit Victorian society, which had its own ideas of propriety, and blouses increasingly became the norm.
It was Jnanadanandini Debi, the wife of Satyendranath Tagore - brother of the famous Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore - who popularised the blouses, jackets and chemises and the modern style of the sari today after she was reportedly refused entry to clubs under the Raj for wearing the sari fabric over her bare breasts. Tagore is believed to have actively encouraged his wife to adopt Western ideas.
The terms "blouse" and "petticoat" - both English - made the leap into Indian vocabulary in the Victorian era. Shirts also came to be worn under the sari as part of high fashion and these rather British innovations are considered traditional garments.
In India, unlike in Britain, there are no written codes of conduct or sumptuary laws about what should be worn. What was considered suitable was spread through word of mouth.
So today's guardians of the hemline - who no doubt believe they are safeguarding women by prescribing what women should wear - are following in the footsteps of older political overlords.
Indian women now are much freer to do what they want, at least in the cities, yet we see dress codes being set and women condemned for what they wear. Some people even make an association between clothing and rape.
