Use of Peshawari Chappal is it common in India or just Nehru used it?

[Strike Rate]

Peshawari Chappal is a traditional footwear of Pakistan worn especially in KPK and Punjab province of Pakistanand majority of us use Peshawari Chappal here. I was looking at some of Nehru pictures and found that he is wearing them in most of the pictures. So my question to indian ppers is it common in India too or Nehru and others just used it before partition?

You can see him wearing it in different pics

ahaa thats a news for me i noticed it for the first time when i was looking at a couple of nehru pics so i thought maybe they use it in India too so is the name same i mean Peshawari Chappal?

 

[IgnitedMind]

Quite common, i would like to believe. Seen it so many times.

Nehru was a Kashmiri, technically 50/50 (Indian/Pakistani). He had nothing in common with Hindi heartland.

On Topic, Such footwear is preferred by Lala Jee's. Lala is a term for prominent Hindus in Punjab. Most shop owners in market prefer such footwear. It suit's their personality also. Other popular traditional footwear is Jalsa/Khusa and Punjabi Jutti. These days people have no style sense and I see usage of cloth shoes is on rise.

Looks like Pakistanis copied the chappal design from India and named it Peshawari Chappal. Yet another fashion export from India.

Chappal is just chappal, idiots who like to claim everything starts from their region will call it Bengali chappal, Punjabi chappal or Peshawari chappal. Let's just cut through the BS and agree on Ancient Pakistani footwear.

Same where nish mate lives, he saw plenty of it when he misbehaved and Ammi jaan would apply with some force to get him to see error of his ways.

Simply Indian footwear would suffice instead of all this mumbo jumbo of ancient modern

Looks like your ammi had the same ideas as me Mummy- maybe their mummies were friends even before all this Partition nonsense and we could happily skip across the borders from Peshawar to Jallandher

Perfect for wearing with Kurta shalwar.

Overall I don't think the Pesh chappal is that common in India now.
