Well, they're cultural, but they're a reminder that I'm Hindu. And if that's what Harry has a problem with then maybe, dressing differently will signal that I'm taking him seriously.
(Although, seriously, does he expect everyone else to stop celebrating Christmas? or wearing those little cross-shaped necklaces?)
Lana says it's some sort of loyalty test. He wants me to set aside something I value to prove to him how devoted I am to Our Lord.
Which would be fine if he were asking me to set aside, oh, I don't know, ice creams or something. But I'm not sure Harry has the right to tell me to stop observing my family's traditions when they don't have any bearing on my loyalty.
But if he's got a notion that it's a bad thing, then I have to somehow indicate that I'm listening, y'know? And I thought dressing differently, that's easy.
(And I have one set of western dress robes; I'll just need to get more. Without Mum going spare.)
