The Indian Railways has discontinued the bandhgala as its staff uniform, with the Union Railways Minister labeling it a colonial relic. However, the bandhgala, also known as the Jodhpuri jacket or 'prince suit,' originated in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and is considered an early 'Made in India' fashion statement. Its design evolved from Mughal and Rajput attire, with some colonial embellishments added to formal court wear.
