I am married to a Pakistani and have friends who are Hindi and Sikh. That being said, the daily wearing of sari's tends to be an Indian thing. Some traditional women even wear the to sleep in. Pakistani's tend to wear Sari's for dress to weddings etc... Shilwar Kameez is a daily thing. The tikkas tend to appear on younger/trendier girls or young women as part of a set of jewlery. One thing is for certain, I would not call what Barbie is wearing a sari, at all, and wouldn't a lehnga need a long and full skirt?</p> I am a Canadian who has lived in Toronto for quite some time.

Just because India has/ had great things from the start doesn't mean it was created to be taken away. Can yall just leave us alone.</p> We Indians “Punjabans” don’t like it that America is taking India away from it’s original place, away from India/ Punjab.

When I saw this doll on barbiecollector.com, I figured even with my limeted sari knowledge that it probably wasn't as accurate as they made it seem (Though it is pretty, and it is good that they have a doll with some Indian influence). I recently saw a picture of the "Princess of India" doll (view it here: http://www.barbiecollector.com/showcase/product.aspx?id=1001020&t=modern) and was happy to see a much more accurate portrayal of a sari and a doll with a proper bindi (albeit below the decorative forhead jewelry that may or may not be realistic). You guys should check it out.</p> I have no Indian heritage whatsoever, but I am very interested in fashion from around the world and I think saris are absolutely beautiful.

Just stumbled onto this page by accident really, I was searching for information myself on Tikkas. I'm basiclly a white american girl, though some of my ancestors on my fathers side DID come from Mongolia, so I REALLY have no complete knowledge of this culture, as many of you do, only what I have researched and read up until this point. ( I'm an art student, who loves to research and draw scenes and people from other cultures, hence my fascination with saris and Indian jewelery at the moment.Not to mention I have random obsessions with world religions and history.)

But anywho, just wanted to drop that off.</p> <p>Oh and my opinion on the Barbie....I wish she was darker in skin-tone she seems a bit too pale for me...and I seriously do NOT understand the random pink bow/ribbon thing...</p> Hi all!

was very imformative, though I canot be certain HOW correct it really is, since this is the world wide web..XD;.. But anywho, just wanted to drop that off.

Oh and my opinion on the Barbie….I wish she was darker in skin-tone she seems a bit too pale for me…and I seriously do NOT understand the random pink bow/ribbon thing…
