Chapkan Combination of Hindu Muslim Dress

CHAPKAN : Combination of Hindu-Muslim Dresses:

In the 1870s, the Tagore family of Bengal experimented with designs for a National Dress for both men and women in India. Rabindranath Tagore suggested that instead of combining Indian and European dresses, India's National Dress should combine elements of Hindu and Muslim Dresses.

So, the Chapkan (a long buttoned coat) was considered the most suitable dress for men. There were also attempts to develop a dress style that would draw on the tradition of  different regions.
