garba

You have every right to say "I Love Muhammad". But as a Hindu under siege, I ask, Arfa Khanum Sherwani, why add, "If there is a war in your name, even cowards like us will stand in the first row"?

Axis Bank has triggered outrage after its Diwali ad campaign showed Santa Claus gatecrashing Navratri Garba, with netizens accusing the brand of “Christianising” Hindu festivals.

A board banning Garba near a mosque in Nani Bhagol, Gujarat, triggered protests from Hindu groups who called it unconstitutional.

Over the past two years, Hindu organisations started receiving support from common Hindus across both big cities and small towns. These organisations remained vigilant during the Navratri festival.

The Hindu organisation reported that Aamir Khan had allegedly attended the Garba event with many girls, including minors. Upon checking his mobile phone, they discovered explicit pictures alongside chat conversations.

While Newslaundry and the Islamists deem “Sanatani only” restrictions in Garba events as discriminatory, and dismiss incidents of targeted harassment of Hindu women by Muslims as ‘Garba Jihad Hindutva Conspiracy Theory’, there is ample evidence to suggest that the ‘Jihadi’ threat is real.

According to Rajesh Binjve, the Bajrang Dal had asked the police not to allow the event organised by Feroz Khan. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia said that the police had received a memorandum from the Bajrang Dal opposing the scheduled Garba event in Ganesh Nagar, Indore.

Garba, the famed traditional dance form of Gujarat has been declared as an Intangible Heritage by the UNESCO
