Solution
The correct options are
A Achkan
B Dhoti
C Saree
Rabindranath Tagore suggested a national dress with a fusion of the Hindu and Muslim styles of clothing, called the Achkan. Therefore, the Achkan was considered a suitable dress for men. Satyendranath Tagore’s wife, Jnanadanandini, had a great impact on the design of the national dress for women. She used to wear a Parsi style saree pinned to the left shoulder with a brooch and wore a matching blouse and shoes. This style of wearing a saree was known as ‘Brahmaka’ as it was worn by the ladies of the ‘Brahmo Samaj.’ This style became popular in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Dhotis are also as popular as they were back then.
