Bindi, Tilak, Kalawa Barred? Do Not Make Hindus Ashamed of Their Identity

It is high time that the ban - official or unofficial - on traditional Hindu cultural markers such as bindi, tilak, sindoor, kalawa etc, and on traditional attire such as dhoti or veshti in Indian workplaces, schools, colleges, recreational spaces and other institutions is REMOVED.

No Indian citizen should be made to feel ashamed of their Hindu identity in order to have fair access to employment, education and recreational spaces.
