Woke Feminism?

Woke feminism by drugwood to reform Hinduism. But total silence on cult of Halala, TTT, Polygamy, Iddat, Child marriage that views women as property@aliaa08 is probably inspired by her women-empowerment champ daddy to give gyan on Kanya ka Maanpic.twitter.com/HwDUuvHlmN

Practise What You Preach

The very industry that objectifies women in their films, web series and reality shows is preaching about “kanyamaan” Wish they would practise what they preach then women would automatically get respect.

Boycott Begins?

We are having 2 marriage functions lined up at our home, I pledge my family and will ask my frnds too not to buy @Manyavar_

Your #kanyamaan @aliaa08 advt. Is so against Hindu sentiments

Understand the meaning of KANYADAAN first

Stop being against Hindu and its rituals.@vhporg
