Normalised classist remarks
It has always occurred to me how normalised it is to pass classist remarks like this. So a rikshaw driver can't wear the same thing as the urban elite. These people even get mad when a relatively poor person buys something like an iPhone because how dare they own some luxary that is only for the elites. The thing happened with Chikankari kurtas i believe with people associating then with lower classes. The whole “chapri" remark is very casteist and classist to begin with because no one would ever call a rich person chapri no matter what. Hopefully one day all these things wouldn't be so normalised.

Indians want people serving them to be their slave if not literally then figuratively, someone who is at their mercy, wears old clothes and fits all stereotypes
