It’s contradictory for jinaejee’s post to say that: “It seems to me you’re having an identity crisis and imposing your ‘my choice, no bindi’ ideology onto others.”

The whole point of Seedsofhappiness post is to chose self-determination by reclaiming a narrative that is being used to create irrational fear about religions and festivals by policing who can or can’t wear a ‘Bindi’.

This boycott FabIndia / NoBindiNoBusiness campaign aligns with the irrational idea that ‘Hindu identity is under threat’ — an idea that the fascist mainstream uses to instigate and coverup the violence against Muslims.

If you’re boycotting FabIndia, do it because they succumbed to a politician’s tweet rather than taking a stand against hate that targets Muslims.

In paper India might say it’s secular, but in practice, it’s fascist — Rana Ayyub describes this better than I can: https://ranaayyub.substack.com/p/india-is-a-fascist-state
