While interacting with national movements I had to face the Kurta
effect many times. Most of the activists would be wearing Kurta or
cotton shirts. Once I was not allowed to speak because I wore a
T-shirt. (The economy of the T-shirt; I bought it for 50 Rupees). But
then I have the freedom to choose what I want to wear. I quit Kurta, I
dont wear it for a demonstration to be eligible as an activist. I
don't want to be one by wearing Kurta, or having thady. I go with
T-shirt. One can say this is a trivial, silly matter. I also believe
it, but when people demand, such trivial things, you have no other
option, but to make a statement on it. As of commitment, I dont kno
what scale one can use to measure the varying degrees of commitment of
different dressed or differently abled people.
