New Delhi: An advertisement by the Titan Group's Tanishq, a popular jewellery brand, has been reportedly pulled off air after vicious trolling on social media with #BoycottTanishq trending on Twitter on Monday. The advertisement featuring an interfaith baby shower, released last week, was targeted by a section on social media who felt it "promoted love jihad". But many others condemned the bigotry and hate-filled posts pushing the boycott trend, calling it completely against the Idea of India.
The ad shows a pregnant woman in a sari escorted by a woman she calls "Ma (mother)", to a baby shower ceremony. At the end of the video, the young woman asks the older woman, apparently her mother-in-law: "But this ceremony is not held at your home...". The mother-in-law, wearing a suit and her head covered with a duppatta, replies: "Isn't it a tradition for every home to keep daughters happy?" The video is no longer available on the YouTube channels of Tanishq after a barrage of tweets against the ad.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor this morning reacted sharply to those who called for the ad's boycott. "So Hindutva bigots have called for a boycott of [MENTION=6285]tani[/MENTION]shqJewelryfor highlighting Hindu-Muslim unity through this beautiful ad. If Hindu-Muslim "ekatvam" irks them so much, why don't they boycott the longest surviving symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity in the world -- India? (sic)," the 64-year-old leader wrote on Twitter.

Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi also joined those tweeting against the outrage. Ex-member of the National Commission of Women Shamina Shafiq also backed the message of interfaith harmony, saying: "Thank you for making us notice the beautiful #tanishq ad dear trolls !"

The ad is for Tanishq's new collection, called "Ekatvam", which literally means "oneness". "Each jewel from #EkatvamByTanishq, is meticulously crafted using art forms from across the country. Over 1000 Karigars have spent countless hours creating these jewels that are a captivating ode to the beauty of oneness. #TanishqWaliDiwali," a tweet on the official Twitter account reads.

However, some social media users are not ok with the ad's message. Khemchand Sharma, who identifies himself as a member of the BJP, tweeted on Monday: [MENTION=6285]tani[/MENTION]shqJewelry Why are you showing a Hindu 'daughter in law' to a muslim family and glorifying it? Why dont you show a Muslim daughter in law in your ads with a Hindu family? Look like you are promoting #LoveJihad & favouring a particular Faith only... #BoycottTanishq. (sic)"

Many such tweets were shared using the hashtag. "#BoycottTanishq for Playing Jihadi Card for Brand Promotion (Sic)," another tweet read.

Why in all the so called "United" videos, only the man happens to be Muslim? I've never seen the bride as Muslim and the Hindu groom!#BoycottTanishqpic.twitter.com/3pu823DIl0

Another social media user wrote: . "This is hypocrisy from Tanishq!!! #BoycottTanishq".

However, there were those too who questioned the outrage and some of the tweets turned out to be witty.

"It's really sad to watch what kind of country we are turning into. An ad uniting two religions has to be taken down in the country which used to be called secular since forever. Woman facepalming #tanishq," a post on Twitter read.

Bhakts may not get it due to their religious bigotry but they've totally destroyed the country India used to be. This takes the cake,

What difference will it make if the roles get reversed? And this bigot is a sanghi too.
 
Though this Ad is done with good intentions, a Muslim man cannot marry a mushrik without conversion. This Ad is just a fairytale.
 
Tolerance does not exist in BJP's India no matter how much Indian try to deflect with pointing out Pakistani minorities, incidents such as this will keep exposing the truth.

It is similar to how India is involved in terrorism in Pakistan.
 
tatas have always been cowards. why bow down to trolls and encourage them instead of standing for your convictions?

it's easy to criticize but the thing is, in a pool of people, there will always be intolerance due to different agendas. If people react to every such aspect, then it will be fuelling it rather than doing anything constructive.

Then those people are going against Islam.

Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 6/104)

But it is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Magian (Zoroastrian) woman or a communist woman or an idol-worshipping woman, etc.

The evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat (idolatresses) till they believe (worship Allaah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you”

That’s not true. I have seen many inter-faith marriage and couples continue to follow their own belief. These days couples are very broad minded and don’t really follow the concept of conversion post marriage. It all comes down to family and their values.

You’re right with those references but these days(like myself) many are not hardcore followers of faith. Some are shifting towards more ideal world where lives don’t revolve around religion and it’s teachings. Some families (often brainwashed by maulvis) are the poison to society.(reluctant to change)

I fully support inter religious marriages and inter caste marriages. But the rule book that Muslims follow says otherwise.

Muslims can marry Jews and Christians as they are Ahle Quran. But idolaters are forbidden until they covert to Islam.

Any Muslim who marries a Mushrik without conversion is going against Islam. I fully support the decision though. Couples are broad minded thanks to the secular values of parents who do not take religion too seriously. Rules are there. But breaking them is a choice.

Again, it is happening and it is quite common in western countries and the way most Indians try to portray their country then one would think it was common in India, too, particularly after seeing many Bollywood inter-faith marriages.

The ad was not trying to show the interpretation of any religion rather the acceptance of each other beliefs and tolerance which India is lacking at the moment.

Look man I know where you’re coming from and quite frankly I had countless arguments with fellow Muslims in person on this subject. So, I will keep it very brief.

Following a religious preaching is entirely up to individual. For me, i will break the rule if need be if I happen to marry outside my faith and not make her convert against her will.(I even dated a Hindu girl and I even agreed to build her small temple of Krishna if we get married). She was even willing to cook me a meat, infact she did many times at her place and fed me when she was pure vegetarian.


I’m quite liberal with the ideas of having multi-faith family as long as there is peace and harmony.

Extremist view if you meant some do not wish to follow inter-faith marriage, but if you mean some do not wish to look the other way and try to cause harm then I agree with you.

And in this thread, it is Hindutva, not the moulvis who are reluctant to change.

Whether someone wants to change is their personal matter. If xyz doesnt believe in inter faith marriages, its their right to believe so. They also have the right to peacefully air those views.

Tanishq or anyone else cannot ram down their. If xyz doesnt like Tanishq they will boycott. Its their constitutional right.
 
Crazy India!! Why does somebody care if a hindu woman marry a Muslim man? Why does some mullah care when Sania Mirza wore shorts to play tennis. I remember something called a fatwa issued. Kudos to Sania, she did both and shut everybody's mouth.

If the woman didn't have a womb, it would not matter. But the womb is a treasure to the community and losing it to a competitor community is a problem. Don't know why people pretend to not understand this issue.

Tanishq has hired very cleaver marketing brains, a low budget planted advert gets pulled and creates controversy, the fact that their name is now trending good or bad is always the end goal.
 
https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/tan...-amid-row-over-ad-2309886?pfrom=home-bigstory

New Delhi: A store of popular jewellery brand Tanishq in Gujarat's Kutch district received threat calls amid row over an advertisement that has been withdrawn after vicious trolling on social media, police said. "Some people had informed the store the ad was not in good taste and had hurt sentiments, and some threat calls had been received. The police have been regularly patrolling the area. No rioting, protest or attack took place," a police officer said, while denying reports that the store was attacked.

Here is your ten-point cheat sheet on this big story:

On Monday night, Tanishq's Gandhidam store, about 310 km from state capital Gandhinagar, was reportedly targeted by a mob amid row over the advertisement, which was released last week.
The manager of the store was reportedly made to write an apology note by the mob on Monday night. "The ad is shameful and we apologise (sic)," the manager is said to have written in the note, which was pasted by the mob on the store.

The advertisement - released last week - was trolled by a section on social media who felt it "promoted love jihad". The vicious trolling, however, was condemned by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, author Chetan Bhagat, among many others, who said it was against the Idea of India.

The ad was removed from official accounts of the jewellery brand on Monday night as a barrage of comments directed at the brand and Ratan Tata (under whose Tata Company, Tanishq rolls up) continued.
On Tuesday, Tanishq issued a statement saying it was "deeply saddened with the inadvertent stirring of emotions" and that it was withdrawing the video.

"We are deeply saddened with the inadvertent stirring of emotions and withdraw this film keeping in mind the hurt sentiments and well being of our employees, partners and store staff," the statement read.
One of Tanishq's brand manager in Bengaluru has also been subjected to trolling, sources said, stressing that he was not even associated with the campaign.

Titan stock fell sharply amid the trolling on Tuesday, ending 2.1 per cent down on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and 2.5 per cent down on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).~CHECK~

The ad shows a pregnant woman in a sari escorted by a woman she calls "ma (mother)" to an interfaith baby shower ceremony. At the end, the young woman asks the older woman, apparently her mother-in-law, "but this ceremony is not held at your home...". The mother-in-law, wearing a suit and her head covered with a dupatta, replies: "Isn't it a tradition for every home to keep daughters happy?"

The ad is for Tanishq's new collection, called "Ekatvam", which literally means "oneness". "The idea behind the Ekavatam campaign is to celebrate the coming together of people from different walks of life, local communities and families during these challenging times and celebrate the beauty of oneness.

This film has stimulated divergent and severe reactions, contrary to its very objective," Tanishq's statement on Tuesday said.

Bigots are not the main problem. Problem are the cowards who get cowed down. First the coward TATA, and then those cowards who should have supported the jewellery brand and flooded social media with receipts of ornaments bought, but instead they can only share memes. These cowards deserve what they get.

Why is daughter the only metric here? Muslims are also giving away sons I guess in this scenario.

I’m sure you’re one of the people who would be happy if roles were reversed as many people have said and the woman was Muslim. But why? Is respect and honor of a come ith only tied to a woman? How misogynistic of you!

Again, you have a right to display and defend bigotry, hatred and fear-mongering and no one is denying that right to you, at least not me.

The ad did not suggest Hindu should give away their daughter to Muslim, it is your inherited fear, acquired bigotry, and hatred that led you to that conclusion, ad simply suggested that people of other faith made her comfortable and accepted by practicing her religious ritual.

Changing the meaning and deflection is a common practice by Hindutva.

This ad tries to promote marriage of hindu girls into muslim families. This after various reports of murder of hindu girls in muslim families came out last month.

You are nobody to deny anything.

A false propoganda will be called out as it is.

Ofcourse promotion of marriage of hindu girls into muslim families and subsequent conversion helps the agenda.

A normal person saw it as two people of different faith decided to spend their life together and their parents accepted it making them feel at home.

BJP and Hindutva supporters interpreted as an attack on their religion while the leader of BJP and Hindutva didn't miss an opportunity to keep the sheeple on the leash.

Its very well known in India, how common it is for muslims to accept girls from another religion without conversion.

This Ad surreptitiously promotes conversion.

As common as Hindu to accept Muslims, probably not the same level as Hindutva not accepting Muslims.

But this ad is simply stating it is okay to accept everyone from different religion and it is against your agenda which is Hindutva domination in India and again, you have a right take part to promote that domination.

Which Islamists would be doing Hindu rasams in a Muslim wedding?

Fact is that its the Hindu fanatics who cant even imagine a union between Muslim and Hindu who have the issue here.
 
This is a grey area where both the views can have their own strong arguments.

For example, I remember a thread on PP about future spouse being non muslim to which, most of them say that, they won't prefer a non muslim as their spouse nor they will agree to their borhers/sisters getting married to non muslim (unless converted) as non muslims won't be able to comply with islamic guidelines.

This is the case which portrays the same but just change the religion.

My point here is, just because I don't agree with a philosophy, it doesn't necessarily makes it wrong or should imply that, those guidelines shouldn't exist. The difference of opinion is very much needed in a scoiety whether you agree or disagree with it.

Here, what I see is, aggressive disagreement to the extent that if somehow a person choses the unpopular opinion, he will have to answer why he does exist in the first place.

This is a dangerous trend. A trend where every one has to admit to one particular ideology or else, he will be criticized to the core. because it will diminsih the how human mind reacts differently to different situation and that too in a very unnatural manner.

Do i agree with inter - religion marriage/relationship? Yes. (some of my exs were from different religion).

Do i believe that is there anything wrong is someone choses opposite? Not necessarily.

I wonder how many people, who is advocating for inter religion marriage will react when it actually happens in reality. Will they act the same? Probably.

But there's also a chance that reaction may be opposite than what is written here because we humans are hypocrite to being with.

Who is going to go and look if hindu rasams are being done? No one.

But conversion of non muslims into muslims by marriage happens. Not only hindus, but christians too have raised this issue recently.

Marriage to a non muslim without conversion isnt acceptable as per sharia. Or is it?

In the article, there are tweets directing towards someone's opinion (which everyone is entitled to have regardless you may agree or disagree). Unless there was altercation on a bigger/physical level due to above, I don't think it is forcing/fear. It is just voicing opinion.

Didnt watch the ad, dont care what happens in India.

However it is correct Muslims cannot marry anyone who worships idols. Muslim men can only marry people of the book, Jews and Christians.

What some Mughals did is not what Islam say. I know many here in the UK who have been close to Hindu girls but I dont know any Muslim who walked around the fire 7 times.

If a girl likes me but I find out she's Hindu, I'd tell her to move on.
 
The stupidity knows no bounds. :))

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Idiots saying Tanishq should do a reverse ad, change the religions and see what happens. Ok. So the storyline will show a Muslim Bride in Hindu Family, and entire Hindu Family following Islamic Traditions and Customs? The meltdown of the same people would have been even more</p>— Joy (@Joydas) <a href="https://twitter.com/Joydas/status/1315909727012843520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Threatening and harassment is also constitutional.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Brand Manager of Tanishq got life Threats by Tolerant People. He was forced to even delete his Linked-in Profile. His Mobile Number was circulated. This was what forced the Brand to Withdraw their Ad <a href="https://t.co/6YEWtC7Sk3">pic.twitter.com/6YEWtC7Sk3</a></p>— Joy (@Joydas) <a href="https://twitter.com/Joydas/status/1316046804807421952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The ad is unrealistic.

Meh imho.

But that ain't the issue here.

That's the spirit.
 
If you stick to Hinduism and Fatima to Islam, it would be like putting two swords in one sheath; or you may lose your faith. And then what should be your children’s faith? Whose influence are they to grow under? It is not Dharma, but only adharma, if Fatima agrees to conversion just for marrying you. Faith is not a thing like a garment which can be changed to suit our convenience. For the sake of Dharma a person shall forgo matrimony, forsake his home, why, even lay down his life; but for nothing may faith be given up. May not Fatima have meat at her father’s? If she does not, she has as good as changed her religion.”

He was worried about the Hindu-Muslim question in India. He writes further: “Nor is it in the interests of our society to form this relationship. Your marriage will have a powerful impact on the Hindu-Muslim question. Inter-communal marriages are no solution to this problem. You cannot forget nor will forget that you are my son. If you enter into this relationship, you may not be able to render any service. I fear you may no more be the right person to run Indian Opinion. It will be impossible for you, I think, after this to come and settle in India"


A very famous Indian leader wrote this, when his son wanted to marry a muslim lady.

The man had more knowledge about the realities of the Indian society and had worked hard for hindu muslim unity. Yet he understood what were the limits that shouldn't be crossed.

Now you guys have come down to threats. This reminds me of the tweets by Wire founder MK Venu to bureaucrats before 2019 elections.
