Fashion in India has become a nationalist cause, says NYT, Twitter erupts in anger

A New York Times article, headlined "In India, Fashion Has Become a Nationalist Cause", has been met with tremendous anger on social media. 

The article claims that ever since the current BJP government came to power in 2014, "the Indian fashion industry has been pressed to aggressively promote traditional attire and bypass Western styles." 

The article adds that "The effort aligns with the party’s broader political program: to project multi-faith India, a country of more than 1.3 billion, as a Hindu nation."

"Fashion, and how Indians think of it, has not been exempt. Mr. Modi has made traditional dress a priority and, as many in the country want to please him, the fashion industry has followed along," the New York Times story goes on to say. 

The story finally hones in on the Banarsi sari -- Varanasi is also Modi's parliamentary constituency -- with the New York Times reporter travelling to the town to check on whether anything has changed for the artisans (largely Muslim) who make the saris in the three years that Modi has been in power. 

Nothing much has, he writes, saying that they continue to live in poverty. 

He adds that things have got better for the Varanasi's merchants who employ the workers. And that they have reaped the benefits -- demand for the sari has gone up -- of the government's support for the Banarsi sari. 

Social media in India exploded with anger -- with most people not agreeing with the NYT article -- after the story began to do the rounds: 

This kind of idiotic story in the New York Times confirms the Modi government’s suspicion that foreign newspapers lie about it. http://pic.twitter.com/Xoj0oeL7Lc

  Before 2014, no man wore a Kurta and no woman a saree? Because this 'fashion aesthetic' is apparently part of 'pol program of Hindu nationalism' https://t.co/BUMwSZWXss

Burqa is a sign of GLOBAL women empowerment, saree is a TOOL of Hindu Nationalism. Wearing Saree is communal, so dear Indian ladies if you want to be secular wear jeans, skirts, minis etc as per @nytimes. @narendramodi @vijayrupanibjp @smritiirani https://t.co/a2TvgAPO6J

  Everyone wears the Banarasi saree @nytimes this is incredibly biased writing. "the Banarasi sari, the traditional garment known for its fine silk and opulent embroidery — and primarily worn by Hindu women."

This asinine @nytimes article links the #saree with Hindu Nationalism! Real issue is that Indians sticking to traditional attire get in the way of pushing Western attire. Pathetic drivelhttps://t.co/UefV1ntwJv

Mr. Perfectionist Amir Khan recently visited sets of Zee Marathi’s Chala Hawa Yeoo Dya for the promotion of his NGO Pani Foundations “Water Cup” initiative. This event was organized in the three talukas last year. This year, the event will take place in more than thirty talukas. Along with Amir, Kiran Rao, Satyajit Bhatkal and renowned water expert Dr. Avinash Pol were also present for this program. The show will be telecasted on 27th and 28th March on the occasion of Gudhi Padwa at 9:30 pm on Zee Marathi.

After hosting a program like Satyamev Jayate, Amir has started taking interest in the social causes. He has started a competition to save water, and to increase the storage of water in draught-affected areas. Amir passionately tells audience about his experiences from these talukas and how simple water harvesting techniques are making their life easier during hot summer. Various villagers also narrated their experience about this water cup.

As the show will be telecasted on the occasion of Gudhi Padwa, Amir celebrated the Marathi new year by erecting the traditional Gudhi on the sets of Chala Hawa Yeoo Dya. Do not forget to watch these episodes on Zee Marathi on 27 and 28 March at 9:30 pm.
