Trousers and Dhotis

"'One way of defining diversity for India,' the poet and critic A.K Ramanujan once wrote, 'is to say what the Irishman is said to have said about trousers. When asked whether trousers were singular or plural, he said, "Singular at the top and plural at the bottom".'But Indian natinoalism before Independence was plural even at the top, a dhoti with endless folds."
