Thats not actually correct.
If you mean by western clothes, trousers and shirt are common but you
could argue just as valuably their is an economic reason as well in
this.

Shorts are not, in my experience, illegal, where, if you take Pakistan
they tend to be part of the schoolboy dress code. Shorts may not be
considered suitable

"Why are we ambitious? Why do we want to succeed, to be somebody? Why
do we struggle to be superior? Why all this effort to assert oneself,
whether directly, or through an ideology or the State? Is not this
self-assertion the main cause of our conflict and confusion? Without
ambition, would we perish? Can we not physically survive without being
ambitious?"
