Dear Lungi is OK. South has heat and hence it is comfortable.

What is about Pseudo Tamils when they wear Lungi in sub zero temp.

Chidambaram (tells from Havard, but actually was there for a month) went to US in a lungi.

(P.V Narashima Rao and Deve Gowda had the sense to use coat. )

And when he was coming out the plane, his lungi got entangled... Can you imagine the scene?

When asked, it is my culture. I can not leave it.

Long leave Tamil Culture.

Hari,
I think even our father of nation, when he live in a cool place wear the same wasti costume. I dont understand, being an indian why we talk bad abt ourselves. The entire world will laugh at us. We are indians and not tamilians, kannadians, marathians etc., No language, religion, caste can split us.
