    Stanley, respect your views. And I never speak on politics. But your comment borders on bigotry. This is not outlandish headgear. They are what many communities in India wear. You forget that most of us Indians still follow ancient pagan ways.https://twitter.com/spignal/status/968690184735748097 …

    Whatever anyone thinks of Narendra Modi, his appetite for wearing outlandish headgear is laudable. Hands down the most daring global leader in this respect. pic.twitter.com/AVqNNFAmm0

        With complete respect, I would call these hats just as outlandish as a British brigadier's bearskin, a French graduate's "bicorne" or any other unwieldy hat. There is a bird in one of them. It is in no way bigoted to point out a hat with a bird in it is "outlandish". Is it?

        Let's get 2 things straight. These are cultural identities of certain Indians & it is incorrect to mock it. Secondly Modi doesn't go around wearing them all over the place. During visits to meet these citizens they honour him & he accepts. Any self respecting person would do so

        Sir nothing is outrageous in his tweet. The word outlandish is simple and appropriate here. Doesn't make any disrespect to culture of a particular community. @spignal

        Outlandish is usually used to mean either 'bizarre' or 'alien'. So, which one was he referring to and which one you think is 'apt' in this case, Amresh??

        For me it even means dress up to impress or for attention. School/College organises outlandish or bizarre fashion comp. Nothing bad there. Why misjudge such amazing person! Let his stand alone explain. No outrage.

        And that's why Amish said 'borders on bigotry'. Without context setting (which a college would do in case if his bizarre dress comp), it could be 'lauding' or 'mocking' (a.k.a 'jibe')

        Hey Vaibhav. Nothing much to disagree with Keerthi. So I think you would acknowledge that I went on unnecessary. It's not about question and answer. Exam nahi ho raha Bhai. He said what considered right, I aired my views too. Real world, no one wins. Chill. Relax. Breath.

        Thanks, Amresh... And yes, Vaibhav... I was not looking for argument or debate... I am glad he was open to my views and we are all having sane conversation here unlike the tu-tu main-main that usually happens on Twitter. And thanks for liking my viewpoint, Vaibhav bro.. 🤗👍

        Please don't use pagan for self description, it is a pejorative term.

        Only if you are an Abrahmic, it is a pejorative.

        Though it was originally used to denote non-Christians, pagan is now a loaded term in standard Western usage. Definitely not a badge to wear proudly. Also, why use Abrahamic framework at all to describe sanatana Dharma when more accurate labels available?

        Wrong. It was a term used for nature worshipping pre-X European religion. Christians look down upon nature worshipper so use it as a pejorative. Western society is completely Christianized which is why it continues to be a pejorative, otherwise nothing wrong with the term

        True but Hinduism is so much more than nature worship. So, conflating the two (as in the original tweet) will create false equivalence, esp. for Westerners. We need to build the Hindu 'brand' on it's own independent merits.

        Yes! He is very fond of wearing Community headgear except for Cap of one particular community. Is there any mythological logic behind that too? 🤔pic.twitter.com/2Kr1dPmy2y

        There's a clear logic behind it. The other headgear doesn't belong to a religion, but a region. But that basic logic is lost on you.

        Belongs to a region called Punjab - which is now split into Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. Unless this is the common headdress of people in Tamil Nadu also?
