✨Thread :
This argument that women in ancient India wore scanty clothes is common among certain "historians". This shows their ignorance/perverted mindset. Indian art depicting women semi-naked is only an artistic expression & DOES NOT reflect dress sense in real society..(1/n)
This thread will show how women during Maurya & Shunga periods ~2200 years ago may have dressed as depicted in terracotta figurines from those periods.

1) Terracotta female figurine with striated drapery covering her fully, including her head. From Sunga period around 100 BCE.
2) Terracotta female figurine with elaborate hairdo, intricate ornaments and patterned clothing covering her entire body, from Mauryan period excavated at Bulandi Bagh near Patna, Bihar from around 200 BCE.
