Before Independence, women used to be confined to household activities only. It is only after many reforms and things like that, that they have reached the stage they are presently at. House hold activities involve a lot of hard work and sweat. My guess is that they were using a cloth piece for wiping off the sweat, which has slowly turned out to become the dupatta.It could also be helpful in shielding them from the hot sun!
If u didn't understand what i intended to say, never mind.
