Inter-Faith Couple Raazi, Not Twitterati: Struggle is Kaafi Real

What works for the bride and groom and the Constitution of India may not bode well with the Twitter crowd.

A Tanishq advertisement showcasing an inter-faith baby-shower, with a Muslim mother-in-law celebrating the custom in the traditional Hindu way to make her pregnant Hindu daughter in-law happy, triggered intense outrage on social media. Subsequently, the jewellery brand pulled the ad down, even though inter-faith marriages have long been a part of Indian history and an integral component of India’s secular fabric.
