We can’t be chill with #Taliban terror; and then be all indignant about #Hindutva terror!
Our humanitarian & ethical values should not be based on identity of the oppressor or oppressed.
The actress’ comments come in the backdrop of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan following the withdrawal of the US troops.
“If you truly have the guts, pls go to Afghanistan, wear a blue burkha, hide your ankles and live one week with these bearded Messiahs and dont forget your vibrator as well.....let us see the end result! (sic),” a user replied to Swara.

1. What kind of fragile ‘sentiments’ are these that are ‘hurt’ on the slightest of pretexts? Look inwards, maybe? 2. U possibly aren’t a very good Hindu to begin with if u think someone stating FACTS abt Hindutva terror is equivalent to desecrating Hinduism. 3. Also, get a life! https://t.co/sDKEehPEa1
