    Well artist forgot to create her Boobs so I don't expect him/her to rememeber to create full stomach covered choli. 

    From an artistic point of view, some elements are exaggerated to emphasis. The visibility of the stomach in reality could be much less, but only exaggerated in context of the drawing.

     cook, clean, work, give birth to kids, raise them, after marriage look after husband like a baby ( since men cant look after themselves), build men's ego by giving them fake compliments and many more things. 

    I have limitless respect and dignity for women. The things they go through and tolerate are easier said than done. The effort they put into the family is beautiful.

    My only issue is women should stay women and not attempt to be like men and vice versa.

    The turban is and has always been the symbol of masculinity - look at the reference to it in the eastern world.

    Long skirts= Lehnga you mean? Lol

    Yea I think before suits were discovered that was the attire. I don't know my hath is very tang in history . :(

     

    Absolutely, rarely did women wear such clothing like suits, mainly because the lack of resources.

    Globally women have wore lenghe-typed skirts.

    Kaalka Bhenji, you are correct. Those paintings show women with a top-knot.

    In the painting you posted the family is much more rich and has the luxury of wearing jewelry, both the man and the woman are wearing it. You can see the man wearing ear-rings and decorative pearls on his turban.
    In the painting by Satkrin, neither the woman nor the man are wearing jewelry. This is easily explained if you look at their feet. This painting is portraying a poor family who cannot afford jewelry.

    Coming back to he turban issue -

    Puratan paintings of Singhnis almost never show the sikh women wearing turbans. Most paintings I have looked at show Singhnis with braided hair and/or a top-knot.

    That said...

    Out of like a hundred paintings I looked at, I saw one where it seemed like a Singhni is wearing a dastaar boonga. It could be a prepubescent male since there is no visible breast shape in the painting however the clothes, pink salwar kameez, seem to suggest that it is a woman with her family.

    Great observation! 

    Let's deny the truth for arguement's sake and say his Singhni has a turban, the fact they are in poverty is possibly to moving around due to war.

    His singhni may of a turban to give the impression to the enemy that there is 2 Singhs instead of a couple, this way fear is instilled within the mind of the enemy. 

    A Khalsa war tactic.

  5. Bloody heck, you are absolutely everywhere. I've seen ur posts on SS, SPN, and now you're the first! Hahahaa! 10/10 for the speediness!

    It is completely possible to get a high top-knot without the support of a nihang-style bunga. Many Jaat women also wore their hair in this fashion:

    (P.S. I do not wish to converse with your further on this issue - and others, such as women in Panj, as I have stated above. I am very familar with your side of the debate, and frankly, it holds no weight.)
