I wish people would stop labelling this sort of thing as "Indian"...society in general is becoming excessively sensitive, unforgiving & in a sense, entitled. And it has nothing to do with India.

Bill Burr has a similar view about the US. While I don't agree with everything he says. He's right about, people will find "anything" to be outraged about. You can't even call a female, a "she" without confirming it. Can't say "Merry Christmas" etc etc.

Secondly, while the IT Cell is notorious for a lot of things...these trends are by design...from the Bollywood PR themselves. The streaming platform is a tough market with 100s of shows released every year and this might be the only way you will ever be noticed. I doubt Tandav or Aashram would've become big hits without the controversy. They were terrible shows.


Too bad though, not falling for this Nikhil Advani.

No one is stopping Americans from Merry Christmas. There are Christmas decorations and songs everywhere after Halloween in here . This is fear-mongering at best.

Actually no. It was only a few weeks ago that women were termed persons who menstruate. Mothers were called birthing persons by the government for fear of offending transgender women.


The Christmas thing was an actual issue in the late 90s early 2000s, with even airports removing Christmas trees for fear of offending other religions.


This idiocy is not an India problem. It's worldwide. Coddling of an entire generation combined with the safe anonymity of the internet led to it IMO.

Tell that to all the retail workers who've been fired for greeting people with "Merry Christmas"...the accepted Salutation in 2021 is...."Happy Holidays".

What do you mean by fear of transgender women ? Transgender people are still very much treated as outcasts in American society and Republicans are literally pushing legislation against Trans adults and kids . That sounds very much like JK Rowling 😒.

You didn't address the fact government called mothers birthing persons to avoid offending transgender women. If that isn't cancel culture of the worst kind, one officially sanctioned by the U.S. government, I don't know what is.


Not JKR made up. The U.S. government OFFICIAL pronouncement.


It's now recommended by medical associations that breastfeeding be called chest feeding.


Who is denying transgender people are discriminated against everywhere? But does that change the fact calling mothers birthing persons or changing to chest feeding instead of breastfeeding is an incredible cancelation of 50% of humanity to avoid offending 1%? And how exactly does it improve the conditions of transgenders?


It's all performance virtue by the little twits and twats of the internet, who use the power of anonymity to act out some sort of Lord of the Flies fantasy.

Serve yourself...while you're at it, google all the national chains that have banned the "Merry Christmas" greeting as well in 'Merica.
