Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Oh! I am sorry the question asked why Indian women have stopped wearing sarees and my answer is telling that why Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses.

No doubt ghaghra choli or lehangas aren't as common now. They are worn only on special occasions like weddings, festivals and some religious events.

The reason why Indian women are still wearing sarees and salwar kameez is that

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

The cultural upbringing or the restrictions by family don't allow them to wear western dresses.

That's me wearing an Indian outfit for a movie. Maybe my grandchildren or great grandchildren would be surprised that we wore traditional clothes for such outings or as on office wear.

How does a single-payer healthcare system handle costs for surgeries, and what's the patient experience like compared to private insurance?

Saree is still worn on a normal routine day by many Indian women. There are then those Indian women who drape sarees only on special occasions like weddings and religious festivals and ceremonies.

Some are hesitant to try the western dresses (mostly older age groups).

Wearing of traditional dresses till date by Indian women is surprising for two reasons for me.

What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?

They themselves find sarees and salwar suits more comfortable than western clothing. Wearing jeans and top in hot and humid weather can be torturous. A cotton saree or cotton salwar suit is more comfortable.

Well, for me it's more surprising that Indian women are still wearing the traditional dresses rather than why some have stopped wearing them altogether.

In most other countries women are no longer wearing the traditional outfits. Even if they do, it's only on specific or special occasions. You won't find Japanese women wearing Kimono to work or a European woman wearing the traditional frock to her office.

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

Indian men like men in other parts of world rarely wear traditional attires on daily basis. Kurta pajama is worn either as night wear or again on specific occasions. So it's women only who are still wearing the traditional dresses.

Indian women want an elaborate wardrobe and are not ready to do away with their traditional dresses. They love their options.

Another surprising fact is that salwar kameez or Punjab suits are also still worn by a lot of Indian women on almost daily basis.

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

Surprisingly, not all Indian women have stopped wearing sarees. Sarees are still worn by a lot of Indian females at workplaces like by school teachers, college lectures, bankers and so on.
