Accused of promoting 'love jihad', Tanishq pulls down controversial ad

[manlion]

Thats an ad, not real life dumbo. I shared a personal experience with such a marriage. It is not pretty as teh ad. This is giving wrong imagery about such marriages. As we can see from the above Pakistani posters what really can be expected.

The ad is meant to promote harmony in inter religious marriages. Lots of Hindu girls marry Muslim. Bollywood would be a good reference. thats the reality. As you have pointed out real situation might not be as pretty as the ad.

So the ad is to mitigate religious intolerence by promoting the non religious tradition of seemantham.

Contrary to your experience. I know many ex Hindu girls married to Muslims who are leading blissful married lives. Your personal experience is not objective.

BTW isnt it considered sin and lost of caste for upper caste brahims to cross the ocean to work or live in mleecha (non dharmic) western and middle east countries ?

No body is bothered about Hinduism. I just don't think it is a good idea. Even your fellow Pakistanis think so too. But if there are some couples who are happy, I am happy for them. But Muslim families for the most are not accepting of Hindu brides. The ad is bogus. Bollywood celebs who married Hindu women had no gumption to ask their partners to convert, most stayed Hindu.

What are talking about sreemantham being non-religious? Lol.

The word "Seemantham/Seemantha" refers to parting the hair just above the eyebrow where the Goddess of Wealth, Sri Mahalakshmi, resides. This leads to the practice of applying kumkum to the parting in order to propitiate the Goddess Sri Lakshmi such that when a woman delivers a child, she is considered the embodiment of the Goddess Lakshmi herself.

Sure, that seems about right.

???

You just said we're going to foreign countries and seducing all the locals to get permanent residency? Low IQ Dindu can't even keep a consistent narrative running over 2 posts

I said you try to seduce. It is the motivation of you lot I was talking about.

But they liking you back is different.

It's what the Pak founding fathers feared....

In India, getting married with a Hindu folk using their rituals is the only way out for the Muslims to break the socio-economic shackle of being permanently underclass and underprivileged! However, it isn't guaranteed either....

A marriage between a Muslim and a Mushrik is like in a constant state of Zina....

Not like but is a constant state of Zina bro

Cant speak for northies but Tamils called it vallaikappu/bangle ceremony and its devoid of Hindu rituals. No hair parting applying kumkum etc.

Valaikaappu [1] [வளைகாப்பு] is a ceremony and celebration held by Hindu, Muslim and Christian women in Tamil Nadu, and Telangana meant to bless a pregnant woman, celebrate her fertility, and ensure a safe birth. It is hosted by the pregnant woman's family during the third trimester of the pregnancy in husband's birth or lived place on 7th month specially.[2] .

Haram marriage..

Have Pakistan and other Muslim-majority countries gotten rid of poverty, feudalism, honor killing and other actual, artificial / unnatural socio-economic crimes for you to decide that a Muslim-Hindu marriage in these modern times shouldn't be done ?

To be honest, one should avoid such things to prevent future hardships.

Hardships brought unnaturally by non-enlightened society / people ? Is there a limitation set by the all-powerful Nature that Hindu-Muslim marriages shouldn't be done ?

Why would Muslim men marry unconverted Hindu women is a mystery to me. Maybe an Indian Muslim thing. We can marry Ahele Kitab and they retain their religion but not the dirty Hindus, unless they convert.

Are you confusing Hindus with Hindutvadis ?

As long as one cannot pinpoint who is enlightened and who is not, it should be a general rule to not romanticize such unions.

Also this ad (by it I mean Tanishq) has political motivations, one can clear see that with their employing Swara bhaskar in one such ad. You want to play politics, then they should be ready to get dirty.

It is simple enough to understand what is enlightenment.

Do you also hold that view for intra-Hindu inter-caste marriages ?

What's wrong with Swara Bhaskar ?

You want to play politics, then they should be ready to get dirty.

Why should politics be "dirty" ? Mine is a simple desire. To help contribute to turning human society into an almost-ideal communist mass. The Congress party should stop being in politics for power alone and start collaborating with the left-wing progressive movement in India.

Some people in the world are setting up the stage for Mars settlement in 15 years time and here we are, arguing over inter-religion marriages.

And these indians will be whining about racism in america where no one blinks about such things.

US is a fujked up state, we are just avoiding your culture getting into our country. The one whining are the one we call sickular in India b@atard of first level communist minded people who will even sell there daughters for a piece of silver.

Now yours is a contradiction of the first order. Communism calls for the abolition of the traditional money system and yet you say that a communist will run behind money.

FYI Gurgaon based real estate company Vartica group is owned by former communist leader Jyoti basu, I worked in the same group. Least i say the better. Showing 100 rupees in your account to become a neta is an old trick.

Firstly, please quote my post if I have to see the notification that you have replied to me.

Secondly, there is no company in Gurgaon by name Vartica but I found one called Vatika. And about its connection to Jyoti Basu I found this :

Interestingly, over the years, Bhalla has tried his hands at various businesses. In the pre-nationalisation days, he had coal mining rights. Later, he set up Delta Tools, a hand tools company in West Bengal.

Known to be very close to the state's late chief minister, Jyoti Basu, Bhalla could not save Delta Tools from closing down owing to labour problems. He moved to Delhi and betted on the farm land development boom of the early 90s. Nearly 3,000 acres of land was bought in Haryana's Sohna region.

So Jyoti Basu had no stake in the company, let alone be the owner.

Thirdly, the CPM did the historic blunder of not allowing Jyoti Basu to become the first communist / left-wing prime minister though he had the chance. But this is besides the point.

You live in a utopia (ie.,Cuckoo land) but we don't. Lets leave it at that.
