Call hindus sanghi when they want to be strict about their religion

Mock and look down on them for being casual about their religion

I am going to have to agree with you here. Can’t speak from both sides of your mouth.

Please look at our project --this trick is only left for BW people😆

Never spoke from both sides of mouth. Just responded to that person who said why not mention faith of others, why only us, and take offense when your own community has been using references to own faith so casually and began trend of casual references to deities in first place.

Filing complaint by a BJP leader is definitely Sanghi. Just as there are motivated complaints by Akalis all the time pretending to be guardians of Sikhs. Or Khalistanis sitting abroad seeing anti Sikh conspiracies everywhere in even films and ads. I do not see ordinary Hindus or Sikhs make so much issue of things in real life as much as I see such vested interests and their verified IDs, IT cells make issues and file cases as if real complaints are already not piling up. Wasting time of court and police. One can object if they want. Why file cases?

If one really wants others to not use references to own faith with disrespect then maybe they should not disrespect own faith in first place and alluding to that, does not mean advocating to become as fanatic or violent or extreme as others.

I wrote longer posts explaining my POV but if it is lost on anyone then it is not my issue.

It is weird to take offense at others not respecting your faith when your own lot has been going around mocking it or equating self to gods or writing fantasies about own gods and selling chappals, beedi packs, soaps, bedsheets with pics of gods or making toons, comics, video games, jewellery, tattoos etc on own deities. Once you have reduced something to characters or roles or idioms, you better know there will be possibility of more loose talk and less reverential tone in discussing deities and their lore. So keep religion as religion and not some entertainment industry content or your everyday idioms, if you hate any disrespect.

And in general I know most people make big deal of religion all time, so it is best to avoid this volatile and bullshit topic entirely to avoid controversies from vested interests and opportunists.

Dunki promotions started already?

Taapsee's only claim to fame is picking fights with others and forming a bindaas or fearless image, kind of like Kangana.

However I do not think it is her PR nor I think she did it intentionally. The BJP leader filing complaint against her, made it bigger than what it was.

Now is that leader her PR?

Or do users want to imply she wore Laxmi locket intentionally to provoke others?

Taapsee has generally mocked her own faith and community too. In actual, unprovoked rants and almost like deliberately letting out frustration at them in interviews and on Twitter. Unlike this unintentional photo shoot.

She was more livid when scenes of Manmarziyan were deleted and Sikh groups stopped screenings of this film in theatres. She had meltdown on Twitter then.

In comparison to that, this is not intentional or deliberate, targeted insult at any faith. I doubt, though, that she will have outbursts like she had earlier or casually laughed and said koi humko bhi boycott karo yaar, few months back.

She has learnt her lesson and probably Dunki team will rein her in. I do wish she kept quiet like Deepika and a low profile and avoided religious symbols and references altogether.
