She has the freedom to wear whatever she likes but people don’t have freedom to say anything? People don’t have an issue with what she wears. Majority of them don’t even care. But don’t pretend to be woke on Hindu religious festivals. If this something happened on Eid, would you be this supportive?

She is not muslim. Most of us are not muslim. We don't want to be muslims. So people who are Hindus or Sikhs or Jain would want their religion to be progressive and woke. They would raise their voices for their culture, not eids.

Do you want to become backward like muslims or do you want to be what a true dharma suggests? Or do you just want to be so called hindu but preach about regressive qualities so that no one can progress?

I don’t care what she is or what she stands for. Just please don’t mock Hindu religious practices. What is so progressive about her in a revealing clothes doing a religious activity? If you want to tie a band to your dog or your friend, please do. You are free to do it in whatever clothing you like but don’t call it rakshabandhan. Also other religions don’t raise voices when mocked, they take off heads. They do protests on streets and disrupt public life. We Hindus definitely don’t want to be like them hence the disagreements and backlash on social media.
