On December 14, the home minister of Madhya Pradesh objected to a song in an upcoming Bollywood film due to the colour of an actor’s bikini. Hours later, effigies of the two actors – one of whom is Muslim, the other Hindu – were burned in Indore for “hurting religious sentiments”. Twitter was then flooded with furious tweets, their rage not directed towards the burning of effigies but towards the actors, towards the film, and towards the film industry as a whole.
It’s just another day of #BoycottBollywood in India.
