A Twitter User Busts the Double Standard of the Intellectuals in a series of Tweets

We are all aware of the new kind of misogyny that exists in the society these days. We often see intellectuals and some celebrities crying on the top of their voices, asking people to celebrate a ” Green Deepawali” or ” Nature-friendly Ganapathi Utsav” but on the other hand, they maintain complete silence on the celebrations of festivals of other religions. The people who cry about violence of animals by crackers or Colors during Deepawali and holi don’t react when millions on animals are killed in the name of sacrifice or celebration during EID or christmas.

A Twitter user @_NAN_DINI decided to bust this double standard of the celebrities with these series of tweets. Have a look at them and decide for yourself.

1. If 30 days of Ramzan & 40 of Lent is fasting feasting & piety but Karwa Chauth is regressive

2. If a flank of a cow is a gastronomical delight but a boiled dog at Yulin Dog Festival repulsive

3. If a jockey whipped horse on the races is sporting but Jalikattu reminds you of animal rights

8. If you won't celebrate Diwali because of Junaid but will celebrate Eid & Xmas despite the blood letting in Kerala & Bengal
