KC or Teej has its roots in patriarchy. There was nothing WILLFULL about it for many years. It has become willful now for some just like KD.

Again you are missing the point....I never commented on disliking KD because of patriarchy....I dislike it because KD assumes I am the property of another person....again I said....I like some Hindu customs and rituals.....my dislike for KD is not because of patriarchy....but due to another reason which I have clearly explained....why did you connect that with me liking KC and RB....why are you hell bent on proving something that I never said??

everyone here clearly admits hinduism is the most open and adaptable out of all religions..then what exactly is the problem when a change is suggested...?? why to give excuse that "you dont attack other relgions" , when clearly we know they are not that tolerable as hinduism..isnt that contradictory excuse in itself..?

yes all these rituals has very noble intentions but do ppl care of the intentions or know of these noble thought process behind it ? do they treat women as Lakshmi ? pls give me a break.. bhagwaan ka naam lene se agar gals ko respect milta toh kya baat thi. 🤡 ye sab bolne mai acha lagta but we know how these rituals are being used as an excuse these days to look down upon women and her family

I wish for the world when the women will be really treated as Lakshmi

Seriously?

1. So are you implying because Hindu religion is adaptable and tolerable let it mend more. Wow!! Matlab ye to wo baat hogayi koi donor ek kidney donate karne gya to log dusri bhi le lenge because banda to nek hai donate karne aaya hai.

2. So because today people are corrupted we destroy rituals? If men today are wrong correct them but why let go of rituals traditions and customs which are very important for making living lively.

Oh some ignorant bums even demand for everyone to speak in Hindi also while talking about Hindu culture because apparently Hindus speak Hindi. 😳

Wonderful thread and thanks to topic starter, you echo my thoughts fully.

We don’t realize this because there is a concerted effort to criticize n derail the basic tenets of Hinduism by misinformation as well as propaganda.

Check out Dismantling Hindutva conference held recently where every speaker said they want to dismantle Hinduism. And this conf was supported by 49+ elite US universities.

Checkout on YouTube, type Hindu and you will see only negatives of Hinduism.

Making fun and taunting Hindu traditions is shown as COOL in Bollywood. Add to this the fact that past two generations of Hindu kids aren’t even reading sacred Hindu scriptures, as it’s not important anymore. Even though every major scientist and mathematicians have given credits to Vedas/Upanishads in their major works.

Almost every Hindu festival is getting banned to celebrate but non Hindu festivals get a free hand even if it involves butchering animals or trees.

W r t Kanyadaan, if Kanya was to given as daan then why does Groom comes home with such fanfare to receive this daan and why would we have 7 vachans etc to celebrate the union?

If the Kanya was a daan , why is she even welcomed with grandeur at groom’s home?

If we understand rituals , we would know Kanya had always been a Maan in Hinduism.

Ok enough of chest thumping, don’t want Alia to think that she is trending again.

You have nailed it .. there is blatant misinformation and misinterpretations being done and the worse part of it all.. So called educated people even if presented facts about these rituals would try to look other way to sound woke liberal and modern.

No! The moment a parent chooses to be a parent, this person owe to the helpless, vulnerable, dependent little being. There are faaar toooo many examples of grown ups having exploited, abused, misunderstood their resonsability towards those who love them despite being exploited, abused and hurt violently. No religion or cultural "laws" can be an excuse for those who are doing wrong - in the name of love or whatever it is chosen.

Whatever sales your boat. I owe everything to my parents and will try not to hurt them ever

also with all due respect i would like to see the reaction if any other religions revered figures called names that krishna gets called on daily basis or songs like "kalanki so and so" in the name of "creative liberty" and "freedom of speech" made about them kalanki means disgraceful bawal ho jayega

All religions get bashed by disrespectful people All the time, in this post alone there are plenty examples, One that always seems to be a target is Christianity which is maligned and persecuted in many places with Hollywood being one of it's biggest critics. Even from the those who call themselves christians, they offend and try to hurt other christians.

People take the name of Jesus in mockery all the time, yet those same people would be insulted if you depict Krishna or Buddha or Allah or whoever they worship in the same manner. Mary has been reviled in the most offensive manner, not only as a religious figure but as a woman. Unfortunately it happens because humans are irreverent and intolerant and very ignorant....

The bottom line is that nothing anyone says or does should shake an individuals faith, nor should it interfere with the reverence and respect you give to the rituals or their importance in your life, things are sacred not when done as a show during some public ceremony, things are sacred because of what you have in your heart, in private, when it is between you and your faith. Example: As a female you can fast for days and put on a great show in front of a group during Karva Chauth for everyone to see, yet secretly hate your husband...or as a Christian get ashes on your forehead for all to see how pious you are, but you have done sinful acts. At that point all the fasting and the markings you show the world are all lies and that may not be clear in the eyes of men but your GOD is aware you are a fraud.

So again, the world has to move past being offended by every little thing and the revenge mentality. Ignore the irreverent, by not watching, not giving it importance and significance, not publishing it and yes not buying a product that you feel is not aligned with your way of thinking or goes against it. That usually works because even the irreverent worship at the altar of money, they will get it quick enough...

Let no one or anything come between you and your faith or your relationship with what you worship. In the end if Alia or the content makers are in sin, they will have to answer for it, to a higher authority. You do you.

atleast I am from that part of India where we dont have karwachauth, dont take husband's name after marriage ..dont celebrate raksha bandhan...but yet very much a proud hindu...

Ya Hindu society is liberal n evolving with times n no need of some fanatics ,pseudos , religious bigots , Hindu phobics spread hate n negativity .

I wonder how many existing rituals has been changed because of some ad🤔...if it was that easy to shake the beliefs world would have changed long back...

P.S yes go to western countries and see how Christianity and jesus is mocked on daily basis ..just coz u donno doesnt mean its not happening around the world with other religions so stop bringing religion in every little thing and blowing it out of proportion.
