In the 'Dangal' (wrestling pit), the 'Jangia' (wrestling trunks) are secured with a very tight cord. This act is the literal 'Kamar Kasna' and is seen as a ritual of focus. Sufis often use the term 'Kamarbasta' to describe a disciple who is always ready to serve his teacher or humanity without hesitation. Allama Iqbal uses the concept of 'Azm' (resolve) which is often colloquially explained through this idiom to the youth of the nation. The 'Kamarbund' (cummerbund) was a standard part of British Indian Army uniforms, adopted from local styles. Tightening it was part of the 'drill' for readiness.
