Figure 1.--This family portrait shows a group of women and children in front of their home. We are not sure just who is who. We see an obvious mother and children. We suspect that another of the women is her sister who may also have children. We are not sure how common these extended family groups are in India. The photograph was taken in Karnataka, southern India. They may be Tamils. The men are absent, except for a man in the background at the right wearing Western clothes. The photograph seems to have been taken right after school. Notice that the women are wearing traditional saris and not Westrern dress. The children in contrast are wearing western-styled school uniforms, except for the teenager at the extreme left. We see this quite a bit in India. Women wear sari and the children their Western styled school uniforms. They also commonly have Western-styled play clothes. A few schools have uniform with traditional styles (mostly girls' schools), the vast majority of schools have adopted Western styles.
