Sherwani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to:navigation,search

The two founders of Aligarh movement wearing Sherwani, Nawab Mohsin ul Mulk, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Justice Syed Mahmood

Sherwani (Urdu: ;Hindi:) is a longcoat-like garment worn inSouth Asia, very similar to anAchkanordoublet. Sherwani originated as a fusion of theShalwar Kameezwith theBritishfrock coat. It was traditionally associated with theMuslimaristocracy of the northernIndian subcontinent. The Rajput aristocracy had subsequently adopted it. It is worn

over theKurtaandChuridar,Kharapajama, ashalwar. It can be distinguished from theachkanby the fact that it is often made from heavier suiting fabrics, and by the presence of a lining.

It is notably known asPakistan's national dress[1]

History

The Sherwani originated in South Asia and was the court dress of nobles of the royals of India, before being more generally adopted in the late eighteenth century. It appeared during theperiod ofBritish Indiain 18th century, as a fusion of the Shalwar Kameezwith the Britishfrock coat. It was gradually adopted by most of the Indianaristocracy, mostly Muslim, and laterby the general population, as a morewesternized form of traditional attire. Like theUrdulanguage, it also became a symbol of Muslim nobility. Before the independence ofIndiaandPakistan, the Sherwani was closely associated with founders ofAligarh Movement. Following Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, all the professors and students wore Sherwani. The name "AligarhSherwani" was also coined, inspired by the popularity of the design atAligarh Muslim University.[2]At the Aligarh Muslim University, these Sherwanis are still worn to keep alive a longrunning tradition of academics.

TheNizamofHyderabad, Mir SirOsman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, the richest man in the world, having a fortune estimated at US$2 billion in the early 1940s.[3]always used

to wear Sherwani. He ascended the throne in 1911.[4]In his time, all the nobility at the court and all officers of the state also used to wear Sherwani.

Pakistan

Muhammad Ali Jinnah in national dress

After the independence ofPakistan, the founder of Pakistan,Mohammad Ali Jinnahfrequently wore the Sherwani and made it the national dress of Pakistan despite the fact that Englishculture had greatly influenced his personal preferences, particularly when it came to dress. Earlier, Mohammad Ali Jinnah donned Western style clothing and he pursued the fashion with

fervour. It is said he owned over 200 hand-tailored suits which he wore with heavily starched shirts with detachable collars. During his last years he was seen mostly in Sherwani andKarakul hatwhich subsequently came to be known as "Jinnah cap".

Following him most government officials in Pakistan such as the President and Prime Minister started to wear the formal black Sherwani over the shalwarqameezon state occasions andnational holidays. But as Dr. Tariq Rahman writes about the western style officers that "the impeccably dressed South Asian officers, both civilian and military, never wore in public till the1970s when Prime MinisterZulfikar Ali Bhuttogave respectability to this dress by wearing it in public. [5]However GeneralMuhammad Zia-ul-Haqmade it complusory of all officers towear Sherwani on state occasions and national holidays.

It has also become almost customary for bride grooms to wear a sherwani on their wedding almost always accompanied by a turban. Wedding sherwanis usually tend to have embroideredcollars and have been popularized in recent times by designers like Amir Adnan and Deepak Parwani. One major difference between Sherwani wearing habits in India and Pakistan is thatPakistanis very rarely wear it with chooridar pyjamas preferring a shalwar instead while their Indian counterparts are distinguished by their preference for chooridars.
