best running shoes in india for men image
Bobbo27
I am going to an Ashram in the Himachal Pradesh region of Northern India next month. I always envy the fashionably dressed Europeans who's style appears to come together so effortlessly.
Can anyone recommend specific clothing that will allow for a style of dress such that I 'blend in' with the rest of the boho chic crowd in Northern India?
Answer
For casual every day wear, a silk and cotton jersey knit long sleeve tee, and a pair of nice Diesel or Levi's jeans. If you want shorts it's not easy to find a nice pair that will make you look cool at the same time. Forget the chinos or cargos or those multi-pocketed combat looks, go for the neat, tailored styles. As for length, it really depends on the occasion and also how shapely and appealing you happen to think your legs are. Look for white or beige linen shorts for a cooler look, not the heavy baggy cotton plaid-front types that look like you are carrying a bunch of rocks in your pockets. Never wear running shoes or technical sandals. Prefer espadrilles, and if you insist wearing sandals, chose a nice classic leather open sandal (Sperry Topsider sandal, cK, Fluevog's Fisherman Luke). For something a little dressier but still dressed-down, a nice cotton t-shirt, a good quality linen suit, a pair of old-school sneakers like Converse or a nice John Fluevog sneaker... Polo shirts (of course Lacoste, not BUM equipment) are always in style, with jeans or for a dressier look. As for size, never wear baggy or loose-fitting clothes, and if you are slim, prefer tight fits rather than bulky. Always balance the feminine and the masculine, and go for a neutral look. A few accessories are a must: a nice watch, not too ostentatious, perhaps a Breitling Ocean, maybe a simple silver ring with a lizard, a hippy-ish woven wristband, a small ivory feather on a leather string around the neck. But don't wear them all at once...
Et voilà , you are me!

How did the British feel about serving the Indians in India?
Silly_Goos
In the early 20th century, when Britain had control of India, how did they feel about serving them? Were they honorable men? Why or why not?
Thanks! :D
Answer
I am not understanding what you mean by the British SERVING the Indians.... ?
I know that the British USED the INDIANS to "service" THEM.
The British made the Indians servants, well, they "hired" them if that is what you wish to call it.
I recently had a neighbor whose father was a small child during the British occupation of India. The boy had been offered a job as a houseboy in a British officer's home BUT he had to have a pair of shoes to get the job. His entire family had to come together, uncles, aunts and cousins included to pool all their money to buy the boy a pair of shoes so he could get this job to be able to help support his family.
The officer never considered that the boy's family was simply too poor to afford shoes and just figured the child was a semi-barbarian and was doing him a favor by working him 12-14 hrs a day for a very small pittance, and not as a young man feeding his family.
An Elitist attitude will do that.
Indian soldiers serving in the military were mostly strong, honorable men, serving on BOTH sides.
Of course, the British looked down upon them as inferiors.
Not all, but most.
Conquerors always feel superior.
I guess it really depended on what side you were on, the British side or the opposing Indian side.
Keep in mind that India was already a great, complex, learned, and ANCIENT society when Alexander the Great invaded them..... while residents of the British Isles were running around in fur loinclothes.
Just not really sure what you are asking here.
