Once upon a time in Travancore, modern day south Kerala and northwest Tamil Nadu, to wear the munda (kilt) appeared modest and democratic in that both lower caste men and women showed both bare leg and breast.
Over time, it became part of the caste system.
In time it became to represent oppression of women after colonization by the British in the 1700s since a woman was barred from covering her upper body.
Then in 1859, the Channar Lahala or the Upper Cloth Revolt (Channar Mutiny) occurred after 50 years of violent struggle in the name of women's liberation for the right of women of all castes to cover their upper bodies.

Inspired by the Journey to the West, Gandhara is devoted to both Western and Eastern Truth.
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ - Hail the Lord whose name eliminates spiritual darkness.
Om Ganeshaya Namaha (ॐ गणेशाय नमः) - Homage to Ganesha.
Unconditional love tranquilizes the mind, and thus conquers all.

1 Corinthians 13: Paul Describes Unconditional Love
"...love is patient. Love is kind. It's not jealous. It does not brag, and it's not arrogant. It does not act rudely or unbecomingly. It does not seek it's own. It's not provoked. It does not take into account a wrong suffered. It does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices with the truth.
..love bears all things. It believes all things. It hopes all things. It endures all things. Love never fails."
So Paul says, "Pursue love."
And I amplify:
When you pursue your dream or a love, you pursue love. Whether it captures your heart, or you capture theirs, let love capture yours!
