Indian Navy allows traditional kurta-pyjama in naval messes per government's "Indianise" directive.

Breaking from its colonial-era traditions, the Indian Navy has decided to allow officers and sailors to wear traditional kurta-pyjama in naval messes. This decision aligns with the Indian government's directive to "Indianise" military customs and traditions, fostering a sense of national identity and breaking away from colonial influences. The uniform now includes a kurta-pyjama along with sleeveless jackets and closed formal shoes or sandals, reflecting national pride and embracing indigenous traditions.
