India
editThe page states that "Indian women wear bikinis when they vacation abroad or in Goa without the family".
As someone who has lived an aggregate of over a year in Goa (I work in a hotel chain), this is simply not true. Foreign western tourists practice the beach culture of their home countries which includes wearing bikinis. But Indians (of both sexes) themselves don't put on any beachwear/swimwear and the Indian women even go into the water fully clothed usually in their traditional garb (saris/shalwar kameezes). There are a small number of upper class, westernized Indians from the big cities (Mumbai etc) who wear shorts, but that's about as far as it goes. In most of India, women don't even dare show their knees, much less wear bikinis.
Burquini
editSince this article strays pretty far and wide, I think the burquini should be added. Kdammers (talk) 18:44, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- I disagree. The name may be a play on "bikini", but the burquini is as far from a bikini as it is possible to get. It has its own article and it should not be included here. Meters (talk) 18:56, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- But the article has monokini, tnakini and men's bikini. These are also not what I think of as bikinis, either. Kdammers (talk) 17:58, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- All three of those have bikini bottoms. Meters (talk) 18:15, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
