    For 35 years, O.S. Arun has been a professional singer of Carnatic music. But this summer, when he advertised a concert of Christian hymns in Carnatic style, social media erupted, calling him a traitor to his Hindu faith.https://n.pr/2xjUcZP

        It is a form of Cultural appropriation. Massively resourced Christian proselytizers attack Hindu traditions, then appropriate cultural icons to make their poison palatable.

        Why can't Christians come up with something unique? Why copy and distort other culture's art forms?

        Everybody's got an opinion. And everyone thinks theirs matters. Those angry folks should spend their money on other performers, if they don't like what this one is doing. Good for this guy in branching out.

        What branching out? He is shelling out his heritage to an abrahamic cult that has destroyed 1000s of cultures. #WTF

        I’m sorry @NPR but you are making this seem like Hindus don’t respect Christians. We do respect Christians but we don’t respect mass scale Conversion, like that which we see in India. Poor people are shown “Krishna on the Cross” to fool them into converting, etc. this is immoral.

        The Vatican and other Mega Church groups are funding billions into India to convert people and are demeaning and misleading about our ancient and native belief system. They are destructive not constructive.

        When someone plagiarized your work or that of your stalwarts & claim ownership of it , won't you object. The people you speak for have plagiarized the work of our Saint composers to further their religion & erase our ownership of it. #NotAllowed.

        Yes and they said that about all of Jesus followers. So what! It's called free will. Choices.

        @NPR must know that India and its culture have been colonially attacked by invaders for 1,000 years. The Portuguese had a Goa Inquisition as well.pic.twitter.com/Yb0cjcvJBj

        How would Christians feel if Hindus started dressing up in Robes and saying Hindu scriptural sayings in Latin and saying that Jesus was actually Krishna? It would be misleading and dishonorable. Nothing different here.

        They take ancient songs and ideas, which are over 1,000 years old and distort them. They teach misleading and abhorrent views on our Hindu Dharma. Don’t you think this is aggressive and wrong?
