In the chapter 'Glimpses of India' (A Baker from Goa), what specific attire leads to the comment 'he is dressed like a pader', and what is the reason behind this comparison?

Model Answer

Anyone wearing a half-pant reaching just below the knees invites the comment 'he is dressed like a pader' because bakers, or 'paders', in Goa traditionally wore such attire.
