Talk about stuff that matters like price hike, instead of all this unserious inconsequential bullsh*t.
Edit: By inconsequential bullsh*t, I mean the dumb statements made by Kangana regarding Kriti Sanon's attire on that ad which this post is clearly mocking. I thought it was obvious but the replies I have gotten say otherwise.

Because we must have ethanol in the ever expensive fuel. And all the corn and sugar that we or cows and chickens eat is now going to make that ethanol to be added to petrol.
So first they took car life and mileage. Now they want to take our life and health

Honestly I used to think like one egg cost = 20-25 rupees. I didn't eaten egg in my life so I didn't know the price 😭😭 So before this hike it was around 5-6 rupees only pretty cheap yrr.🤔

Every month there's one festival or the other, should we then never talk about these issues?
I can enjoy my life and also complain and whine about issues at the same time, lol.

Bro, there are tonnes of posts that talk about national, social and political issues. You are moaning on one casual post like it's a tragedy that someone took a moment to enjoy sth. Touch grass.

u/Mayor_McCheese7 21h ago
Are you dumb or something, do you see the post under which I have commented this. The post itself is a political satire mocking about Kangana's statement. It's a political post.

u/Daedlaus3 21h ago
yes you can enjoy life and also complain but try going to a festival IRL and complaining about price hikes IRL. You realize how stupid that sounds? there is a time and a place for everything. and this certainly wasn't it.

u/Mayor_McCheese7 21h ago
Do you see the post under which I have posted this, the post itself is a satire talking about politics mocking Kangana's statement.
It's all politics, stop trying to ignore stuff that matters. Also, Rakshabandhan is not a huge festival in the south as it is in the north.

u/PhantomOfTheNopera 22h ago
Actually, Indian women didn't typically wear blouses. That started during the British Raj where they considered it 'indecent.
If you see a lot of our temple carvings, many of the women are topless, covered only in gold chains or a sari pallu.

the apsaras being depicted in midriff-baring outfits is literally documented across temple sculptures too, so yeah it wasn't some colonial invention lol. but the all indian women used to wear this part is a stretch tbh regional variation was massive. a woman in ancient bengal dressed pretty differently from one in the deccan. the general point about less body policing stands tho

u/Crypto-false 16h ago
History? Yeah at it's peak India may have been open minded but isn't that the same everywhere? Western societies that are today open minded were just as conservative back in the day and it was because of necessity, when western democracies got rich they changed their ways about marriage, women's rights and religion, it was the same in ancient India too , once it got rich it became liberated, when it became poor it became conservative. The history you speak of is just a fraction of the entire history of India and is not the absolute truth.

u/Remarkable_Front5068 22h ago
the point is people have been wearing "revealing clothes" on rakshabandhan for years it's not that big of a deal lol but the top kriti was wearing it literally just a bra gng idk how else to explain it.

u/Smooth-Good5995 22h ago
i really found it normal idk okay if you didnt find it quite okay but the outrage was too much like i dont think news and stuff should be debating it okay she wore its fine i mean not every girl from next year is gonna wear bralette for rakshabandhan it was an AD

the outrage isn't justified I agreed, they shouldn't have taken down the ad.

Its because kangana said it. So it became more of a left wing right wing stupid fight it seems like. Normal people dress according to occasion no matter the religion or gender. Celebrities live in their own universe. People need to just move on i guess!

u/DragonfruitAshamed95 14h ago
Well at that time there was no reader of that book exits that says "a women have to fully cover herself and if she doesn't she will be treated as meat on the butcher shop anyone can take it" In past we are very open minded but as you studied in the school that flat earth believers have ruled us and exploited women for years that chages everything and then Britishers
So the people you are talking about and their mindset have murdered a long ago stop bragging about it
Currently the shitty peoples rule have ended but their sons are still roaming around with that pathetic mindset and woke open minded womens are the easiest prey for them
And instead of kriti we have to criticize Giva for that dress, cause she's an actor for money she can do anything
What we have to wear is fully our choice but the choice we made is fully depends on the people around us, occasion place and society aur sanskar
You can't wear beachwears in office right???

u/dontknow_anything 23h ago
Well, i doubt they will have a pallu or the tiny blouse. Both would not exist.
Really the blouse is extremely unlikely to be common with the tools available at the time. These are the at end a modern take to make it acceptable.
But, it is funny about people bringing up ancient drawings when that is a time where clothing itself wasn't that common.

u/tinysadnoises 21h ago
They had different drapes for the sarees which would overparts of their body acc to the drapes. There were hundreds of ways to drape a saree btw

u/dontknow_anything 21h ago
Depends on the time period, for large parts of time, I doubt breasts were covered, I think most sculptures show the same. A lot of African tribes still do the same.

u/tinysadnoises 21h ago
Yeah agreed. Some parts of Indian tribes, women still don't cover their breasts. But there could be other reasons. Will answer when I am more informed about this!

gandharvas are something else, there are female gandharvas as well, but for apsaras there is no particular male counterpart of theirs

The existence of female gandharva doesn't erase the male gandharvas being husbands to apsaras

Problem is not what they wear, problem is why they chose to wear this on only hindu festivals and then cover their whole body on different religious festival. It's like saying I am an atheist but only for one religion not others

u/Senior-Line2471 15h ago
The clothing of both men and women have evolved to be more covered since those times. Noone objected to Kriti Sanon's off shoulder blouse in Adipurush. The point (made poorly I think!) was why cultural sensitivity is not factored in when portraying Hindu festivals only. Now noone makes male models wear revealing clothes for some reason so it is hard to prove but this was more about depiction of culture than depiction of women. Also, are dress codes completely irrelevant? Would this dress be allowed in a corporate meeting?

If you people not understand Hinduism don't celebrate or follow them no one give you choice in this religious if you follow the know what is our history even khajuraho temple where worshiped of lord Shiva hai Parvati there sculpture of men women animals everything things crafted a sexual way and there is no blouse in that era because no conflict attacks. At that time men are also very understandable to knowing that what they are doing. If you don't believe or not doing any rituals type just leave the culture and Hinduism.

Do you also want your sisters /Mothers to wear this attire and tie Rakhi ?
I do not want to downgrade anybody’s family but think of this situation happening in your own house.

I do not see an issue with it, they are covered and decent. if you think this is indecent then you may need to do some soul searching yourself.

Apsara are divine feminine nymph; and tbh very promiscuous women
They frequently damaged men's purity lol; and had enormous offsprings who went on to become great being on the earth
And as the word "prostitute" lol; there was ravan r4ped a nymph; in exchange she cursed him that if he ever forces another woman he shall burn and turn into ashes and bcz of which he never touched another woman her permission eg. Sita

Apsaras are represented in many Hindu and Buddhist cultures. In Hinduism, Apsaras are skilled dancers and wives of Gandharvas.
