Spectator by Seema Goswami: Who’s (in a) sari now?

With trending hashtags celebrating it, the sari has become more fashionable and popular than ever

Over the last fortnight, one hashtag has been trending on twitter. It’s called #SariTwitter and is used by women from across the world to upload pictures of them wearing saris. So, how could I possibly resist? The moment I saw it, I went scrolling through the pictures on my phone to pull out some shots that I could upload as my contribution to #SariTwitter. As did most of my friends, and the days passed in a pleasant blur of mutual admiration that left us feeling all warm and fuzzy. (Anybody who has ever been on Twitter will recognise this as a novel feeling.)

Millions of Indian women have been lighting up the dance floor and cooking up a storm in the kitchen in a sari

This versatile garment suits every woman... There are as many ways to drape it as there are to love it
