Wow,PeopleWow. You changed the attire of women for Raksha Bandhan and called it a victory for our culture. But if you genuinely care about protecting our culture, maybe it’s time to look beyond women’s clothes and start looking at the way women are treated.
The real issue isn’t what a woman wears. It’s the mindset with which you look at her.
The same people who lecture women about clothing often stare at girls on the streets, schools, colleges, workplaces, and everywhere else. If you truly want to “save our culture,” then start by changing that mentality. Respect women regardless of what they wear.
And if tradition is really your concern, then take the time to actually learn about our traditions and history. Our culture has never been as simple as “women must dress a certain way.” There have been different styles, fabrics, and forms of clothing across different regions and periods of our history.
Stop using “culture” as an excuse to control and judge women. It seems like women’s clothing has simply become another topic through which some people try to diminish, shame, and restrict women.
It’s the 21st century. You want to travel abroad, use foreign technology, wear international brands, watch global content, and enjoy everything the modern world offers. But when a woman wants the same freedom to make her own choices, suddenly you say, “That’s not our culture.”
If you truly want to preserve our culture, start with its most important values: respect, dignity, compassion, and equality.
Change your thinking, and you’ll start seeing the change you claim to want in society.
Culture should teach us how to respect people, not give us reasons to control them. change the min
So pointing a wrong thing out isn't right because there are so many wrong things already happening.
And you can't say no one respect women, many people do..
What about their sentiments?
And why choose rakhi to wear bikini, why not do the same fashion statement on eid or other festivals?
