How did the Internet react?
Commenting on the video, one user stated, “We shouldn’t do moral policing on petty topics like these. She’s wearing a proper attire for swimming or taking bath in the river.”
Another added, “Stop worshipping with one hand and dumping junk from the other hand. If you truly care about protecting the river, you must also talk about using river as dumpyards.”
The next one stated, “People used to bath naked. Its literally written in scripture, painted in murals and depicted in our architecture. Ancient civilizations used to be more in spirit with Naturism. Nudity wasnt frowned upon and infact it was accepted. Also, Women are free to do as they wish.”
One asked, “How’s this even allowed?” And, the next one concluded, “Hindus have no problem with bathing in Ganga wearing a swimming costume. You can buzz off.”
