Before declaring a garment as kilt, one has to look at the origin of the word kilt. It was originally a verb almost certainly eminating from scandinavian countries. From my limited research it became a noun in the 17th century. I would be certain that there would be an Indian word for the garments pictured. An interesting discusion on the word kilt took place on Bob Dunsire's forum in 2011 - http://forums.bobdunsire.com/forums/...d.php?t=138308
There appears to be an opinion that any wrap garment worn by various civilizations at any time in history, can be called a kilt, especially by westerners. Try telling a Indonesian that his sarong is a kilt.
