Yes, you read it right! People (most southies from India) wear lungi even when they are in Gulf states!

well.. let them all debate.
People who wear it should think – if they ask you to wear ‘decent’ dress, so be it. Now you are in a position to obey this, because you have gone there looking out for a job opportunity! You are at their mercy!! In the place you are in, they dont believe in give and take respect. They just see you as CHEAP LABOR, SERVANTS! Just because you (like many others) cannot find a job in India or couldnt find a well paid one. Partially, it could be your problem not qualifying for any job, but partially it is the system in India!
I would say, if you and your feelings are not respected, dump them and go back to your home land and fight for a job. You will be respected only in your place.
