India Today
The tweet by Fabindia was a promotional post depicting models wearing their new Diwali 2021 collection. It has been deleted now.
Clothing brand Fabindia has removed a tweet promoting their new collection for Diwali after being heavily trolled on social media. The brand was accused of “defacing” the Hindu festival of Diwali and terming it Jashn-e-Riwaaz. Many slammed the brand for unnecessarily uplifting secularism and Muslim ideologies in a Hindu festival. Deepavali is not Jash-e-Riwaaz.This deliberate attempt of abrahamisation of Hindu festivals, depicting models without traditional Hindu attires, must be called out.And brands like @FabindiaNews must face economic costs for such deliberate misadventures. https://t.co/uCmEBpGqsc Deepavali is not Jash-e-Riwaaz...Period!!!Seems like Fab India has done this deliberately to hurt Hindu Sentiment. #BoycottFabIndia pic.twitter.com/oczgyUlmIF Hence forth no buying from here.As it is overpriced for no rhyme or reason. https://t.co/CaZsaLoOFI Clothing brand Fabindia gets slammed for branding Diwali ‘Jashn-e-Riwaaz'Yet another attempt of forceful cultural appropriation of Hindu festivals #BoycottFabIndia pic.twitter.com/priicni6Sd #BoycottFabIndia Diwali is jashn e Riwaaz?Let celebrate Jashn e drop sales. #Jashn_E_Drop_Sale_FabIndia pic.twitter.com/SIw7ekONPX Wow @FabindiaNews great job at de-Hinduising Deepawali!
