Why are people saying this is against Hindu culture???

Last I checked, this is exactly the clothing apsaras wear:

Wtf??

People are really just criticizing her because she's a liberated woman wearing whatever her heart desires while also paying homage to her hindu roots

i saw a few comments saying that this is ruining our culture but it's literally the opposite

If anything, these judgemental people and their colonised mindsets are the problem

Why do we reframe outside influences to be integrated into our religion and act as though it's gospel when the ones who came up with it don't even follow it anymore?

They're really willing to do anything just to control women huh

An Apsara dancer sculpture on the wall of Angkor Wat, 12th century. Robam Tep Apsara (Khmer: របាំទេពអប្សរា) is one of the traditional dances of Cambodia. It is played by women, sewn into tight-fitting traditional dress, whose graceful, sinuous gestures are codified to narrate classical myths or religious stories. It is one of the national symbols of Cambodia.

I can't stop LAUGHING 😂. They chose pictures of Apsaras and Yakshis (female nature spirits thats equivalents in Greek mythology are water and forest nymphs) and try to claim that because they're voluptuous like anime girls drawn by pervs it means that "Hinduism is misogynistic". Who's gonna tell these fuckers with no elementary knowledge of Indic sculptures and mythology how moronic they come off as? Are you gonna be mad at 2000+ year old sculptors for sculpting Apsaras, Yakshis and other SUPERNATURAL beings?

These porn brained westerners and their Indian sepoys masquerading as feminists don't even deserve a response. Our Devis have big payodhara which nurtures us like MOTHER. Apsaras and Yakshis are shaped so beautifully because they have feminine essence which was worshipped by our ancestors!!! We bow to Chamunda who has no breasts. Soon these westerners will come after Shivalinga for being chauvinistic and whatnot. Western feminists, who even pulled up cultural relativism like the mini nazis they are, fuck off and focus on your males who travel to Africa and Asia to grape kids.
