The Twitter user who dispensed advice to women is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A Twitter user on Thursday created an outrage on social media for his views on women’s dressing. His tweets that people are trying to attract others by exposing their bodies, unlike the traditional Indian culture where they dressed properly, attracted many comments on the micro-blogging website slamming him for his regressive views.
A series of tweets by Twitter handle @mahesh10816, who goes by name Madhav and is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi among others, cited an incident at a 'prominent' Mumbai restaurant where he claimed that six women dressed in micro minis thanked him for telling them that these kind of dresses are bad.
Here is what he wrote: I was in a prominent restaurant in Mumbai waiting for my friend, It was posh and expensive place. in the adjacent tables there were 6 women dressed in micro minis. There was a scribbling board in the restaurant, i took the marker and wrote the following sentences. "In our traditional Indian culture, everyone used to wake up early, take bath early, dress properly, do pooja, have prasadam, follow proper etiquette, were very clean & neat in appearence and used to attract people by their fragrance of good qualities but now that these qualities are fast eroding, people are trying to attract others by exposing their bodies and not qualities ... Kali yuga." Those micro minis read this one by one then they came to me for an argument... end of the argument. they thanked me & felt bad. Few women cried and said "no one told us that this kind of revealing dress is bad, we thought we are the fad, now we know its not fad but bad."
Twitterati reacted to the post angrily with many calling it a regressive view on women's choice of dressing. Some questioned the veracity of the claims made by the Twitter user while other reacted with their own version of "I was in a restaurant."
Some users questioned Prime Minister Modi on why he is following a Twitter user with such views.
Some even pointed to his views on other issues calling it communal.
Madhav, however, defended his tweets and said that he is not imposing his views on anyone.
"I see so many pissed with my post. It's my view you either take it or leave it. I am not imposing my views on any one. I have stated facts. I have right to express my views, I need not be politically correct. Why are men getting flipped with my post," he said.
"When those 6 persons didn't have a problem, why are hundreds getting an erection in SM today? Don't I have FOE, I have not imposed my views on anyone, I have stated my views," he said in another tweet.
