Why are Kannadigas and Telugus in Bangalore and Hyderabad ashamed to wear pancha in public? Whereas Tamils wear veshti publicly in Chennai?

 Veshti is traditional dress of Tamils of all regions. Whereas Pancha is not a traditional dress of Northern regions of Karnataka or Telangana or Andhra.

Wearing Veshti, especially Khadi Veshti, is considered a man of High Values in TN and command high respect.

Parents insist on children to wear Veshti on festive occasions.

Veshti with border of Party colors identify them with a particular political ideology. Party men wear to show off. It is like “Press” or “BJP MLA” displayed on vehicles.

Finally, it is convenient to wear, and folded half like half pant in Chennai climate.

Only regret is they have forgotten “Thundu” alongwith Veshti.
