Next CAN be Xtian but will NEVER be muslim. Everyone knows what happens when u hurt their sentiments. No one from bollywood or even tv shows like crime patrol would even think of doing that.

I think you don't watch news channels.

Her BF is a White foreigner and has fought with other trolls on her behalf earlier.

He is equally not bothered about any faith nor understands why Indians make big deal of everything.

You don't have to to do that.

You are clearly in the wrong company my friend

Well.... Think of it like this. I have used Narad ji's name for his quality of adding fuel to fire. But what if someone goes beyond this and makes a joke that is really insulting to Narad ji (as per my standards)...then I don't really have a moral high ground to question them. Cos what is my threshold for jokes may be much less than that other person who cracked an offensive joke (as per me)..but at the same time what i think is harmless comparison (with Narad ji) maybe offensive to someone with a lesser threshold than me. so..who can rightfully establish that this is acceptable and this is not? I think it's better to keep sacred figures sacred and not use them in a casual way. There's many other things we can use in our jokes or casual fun conversations...

I only watch news channels on tv. Nothing else.

They also teach a lesson to those who ever spoke against their govt.

Taapsee will have a price to pay for attending CAA protests and ranting against BJP in general on Twitter

Tapsee use to be cute. I hope she doesn’t go Kangana way

If soone insults narad ji you should give it back to them in the manner they deserve. Why change yourself based on other's reaction? You gotta be mature than that.

Let's agree to disagree.

I'm beginning to think that it's best to keep sacred figures away from casual use to maintain their sanctity and prevent their misuse by others for vested interests.

Also I'm not changing based on other's reaction; I'm changing because I felt like a change was indeed required.

Yeah you noticed it quite well how your signature says you are Narad Muni of India Forums. Narad reference is also used quite liberally by everyone in India about an instigator. Old habits die hard.

Actually Muslims have no concept of idols, cartoons, images or jhankis and do not allow plays on own faith at all. So why will someone show caricature of Aisha or Prophet when there has never been any film or play or cartoon or painting or illustration on them?

I do not think Hindus need to change own traditions but definitely Hindus can go easy on showing gods as mere characters in entertaining novels, cartoons, fan fic, video games, comics or toys. Many Hindus have begun to reduce own religion to some aesthetic and entertainment like Greek mythology or Norse mythology or Roman etc.

That will slowly lead to more casual references and lesser reverence, which reflects in availability of T shirts, boxers, slippers, carpets, doormats or bedsheets with images of Hindu gods online or drinks named after gods or images of gods in bars, pubs, or on packets of various products including beedi packs or firecracker boxes.

Other faiths for eg, do not allow commoditization of own faith and its symbols. You will not see Islamic sacred symbols on say, a rug or doormat or a beedi pack or matchbox nor some drink in a pub named after Islamic religious references.

I do not say Hindus should go full on extremist or radical or take to streets and form mobs or give death threats or bomb buildings in each case of slightest insult but, somewhere Hindus should themselves slowly develop habit of treating own symbols with respect and calling out disrespect (without getting abusive), where they notice it.

I, for eg, would not even favour a locket or jewellery showing any gods as I personally feel weird when same jewellery is worn all times, including bath, in toilet, if not taken bath etc and it feels weird and disrespectful to be wearing religious deity image or carving in 'any' and 'every' state at all times, in my strictly PERSONAL opinion. That is just my personal code of conduct, which is why I never bought those Ik Onkar lockets or rings or pendants with Khanda or Sikh Gurus and even if I did, I would keep them somewhere but not wear them.

Somewhere some habits should be developed on your own, so that it becomes a normal routine to treat sacred stuff with certain care and respect, to avoid unnecessary controversy or hurting sentiments or avoiding own discomfort. I am, for eg, always worried about doing something wrong and then suffering backlash for it. If I go to places of worship of other faiths or mine, I keep asking or search online to know and be sure of what to do or not, lest I do something wrong and fear some karmic backlash or punishment later.

So I just avoid religious stuff and fear issues of 'beadbi' (Sikhs always get particular about sacrilege, blasphemy for eg and some Hindus are also particular about which deity is to be worshipped by women or not or whether you should chant a mantra during periods or not or consume non veg during certain days or not etc).

Long story short, either avoid religion and messing much with it, or try to practise 'handle with care' approach to avoid controversy at all.

Who says I want Hindus to be like Sikhs and Muslims? I used to appreciate Hindus for being comfortable in own skin and not creating even diplomatic crisis or waging terror or secessionist movements based on religion.

I am against bigotry. All I said, was to sort of slowly change an excessively carefree approach to own symbols to avoid disrespect or possibility of taking too many liberties with faith.

I am sure Natkhat Pyare got what I said when I responded to post about how no one dares to do such things with Prophet etc.

It is because Muslims themselves do not use name of Prophet lightly.

I do not say Hindus need to take to streets. But Hindus, if they are indeed so concerned about disrespect and taking their symbols lightly, should slowly begin to change own approach and language and draw the line.

Drawing a line politely but firmly is not same as bigotry and taking to streets or waging terror.

I still stand by fuddu Sanghi comment and I feel similar frustration when these Akali Dal and SGPC wale make issues of every damn thing as beadbi or see conspiracy to malign Sikhs everywhere.

But I advocate generally avoiding to disrespect faith or use its references casually lest it pisses off someone who is either an opportunist or too sensitive or orthodox and fears their kids also using similar casual approach for faith or fear others using casual approach for their faith. I do not believe in giving opportunity to anyone to point fingers or create issues.

I would not wear that locket if I was in Taapsee's place, and with that dress for sure. And I would not upload such a stupid pic online where I knew I would be trolled. Lot of designers and artists use Hindu symbols like mere aesthetic. Nothing wrong if an ordinary Hindu takes offense at it. But it reeks of opportunism when BJP, Akalis, AIMIM or BSP etc take up such issues and file cases. It reeks of opportunism and going after low hanging fruit then.

I personally HATE how entire Punjab politics for eg, since 2015, has hinged on sacrilege issue. And all real issues are ignored. I would not want others to go same way. I do advocate general handle with care policy for anything related to any religion or caste though. To be on safe side.
