What's an Indian Kurti?

A kurti is a long-sleeved, collar-less tunic worn by women throughout Southeast Asia. The kurti, which usually rests just past the hips, is a slightly-shorter version of the kurta, which falls to the knees. Kurtas have been worn in India for centuries, and both kurtas and kurtis still feature heavily in everyday Indian dress.

Some examples of Kurtis

@HealingInSilence na na. Salwar kameez is entirely different. It comes with a dupatta or drape.

SW-User
@HealingInSilence lol padosan . I do have a damn good friend here from your country. I don't feel like saying "your country" because deep down we are one

@SW-User it is the same land, anyway, they just drew a line and built borders and stuff and now it's two separate countries.
SW-User
@HealingInSilence I never like all that politics honestly. I doubt if either of us as civilians even hate each other. It's just stupid media propaganda
HealingInSilence · 22-25, M
@SW-User Civilians don't hate each other. It's just politicians and media persons playing the dirty politics with people of each country by making up some weird shit about the other country and stuff like that.
SW-User
@HealingInSilence you bet. At least SW is a platform where we can know each other

@SW-User Facebook can't do that. Facebook is shit. You can only connect to people from other parts of the world with SW, that's it.
