In today’s world, it is a daunting task to even walk around without offending a person. The creative liberty gets hindered because we seem to be walking on a path laid with broken glass.
Everyday we hear about a certain censor board cutting scenes in a movie because, the bhoot has to leave the country when Hanuman Chalisa is sung or a hero cannot jump on a religious structure. Colours also have been given an association with religion as well, saffron for Hinduism and green for Islam.
And if that wasn’t enough, clothes have got their own niche too and it’s apparently a ‘disregard’ to combine a hijab with a saree.
British-Indian designer Ayush Kejriwal, took the creative liberty and in his very first attempt, tried to mix a saree with a breathtaking hijab.
His project is beautiful and this picture stands proof. But it did not go down well with a lot of people and he was mercilessly trolled.
But Ayush did not let hate get to him. He stood by his creation and gave a befitting reply to a troll who thought he could belittle him or his art in any way.
“Religion should empower and not hinder.” – This line by Ayush says what we all should live by. The whole point of religion is to be peaceful and believe in a higher power. If religion has become the cause of hate, then there must be something very wrong that we have done.
