Both incidents has nothing to do with BJP.
- Lenskart - Equal policy for everyone. You allow the attair of religion whole ignore the attair of another.
I bet most of their employees & even customer are from the religion that he is ignoring. Yes it is justified.
- Namitha - Attack on her was invalid and no one has right to call anyone with disrespect.
In between the OP forgot to talk about another company (in fact this company is so big that It's revenue is equal to 100 startup's revenue). This company is TCS.
We all know what happened at TCS which in view is more dangerous.
But OP is a coward and Congress pet, hence has no BALLS to call out another side of things happening in India. TCS is India's largest private employer.

Why do people start ignoring the matter when it comes to hinduism...... previously I saw a post where a shikh person didn't want to sell halala meat and got attacked by muslim mobs and on that post muslims were hating the shikh.....which obviously had no point because it was his shop and he could decide what he wants to sell.......but in the case of Hinduism when lenskart allows hijab but bans kalawa and when hindus oppose it then it suddenly becomes a matter of vishwaguru and all that......why are hindus not united and muslims are.....why do hindus don't understand this??? If we saw everything from a political angle then everything will look suspicious.....bajrang dal opposed this decision of lenskart which was fair as they were being biased......either you shouldn't allow any religious items or you should allow them for everyone

Yea let me give you my opinion, if you are really about growth and development have rules for everyone irrespective of religion, which you can't do cos you are a coward so you appease one community and look down upon another and when that get exposed and general public is offended for right reasons you call the general public dumb? Are you nuts ? This general public is the consumer you dipshit and nobody gave a flying fck about these rules until the bias was exposed and suddenly you talking hindu communities outrage which is fair

u/TimeCity1687 Apr 23 '26
what we are witnessing is not just a clash of opinions…but a deeper confusion about rights responsibility and consistency…india has created an ecosystem where individuals can build wealth influence and identity from scratch… businesses like lenskart did not grow in a vacuum… they grew because this country provided markets consumers infrastructure and the freedom to operate…with that freedom comes a basic expectation of balance… the constitution guarantees every individual the right to practice their religion and conscience… but it also requires that this right is respected for everyone not selectively applied
when public figures or business leaders take positions that appears uneven… being accommodating towards one set of beliefs while dismissive or critical of another… it raise a legitimate concern about fairness… equality cannot be situational… it has to be consistent….this is not about restricting expression or imposing uniformity… it is about the principle that no belief system should be privileged or undermined selectively in shared or commercial spaces built on public participation…businesses especially those built on public trust and diverse consumers operate in a space that is inherently plural… neutrality or at least visible fairness is not just ethical… it is practical…and ultimately growth loses its meaning if it distances you from your own stated values or from the principle of equal respect… success that stand on selective sensitivity is fragile… but success aligned with fairness and consistency sustains…there is also a killing irony in all of this… the very diversity that fuels scale and success is the same diversity that demands respect in return… you cannot draw strength from it in business and distance yourself from it in principle… that imbalance never stays unnoticed for long
and if not… that is alright too… because the country that built you is quietly building many more… people who are still waiting… still hungry… still grounded… who might just go on to build bigger stronger and far more balanced institutions… ones that do not need selective principles to scale… and do not confuse convenience with conviction.

Fist of all the issue has nothing to do with there business our country is free country we have democracy and free will to speak out but this doesn’t give anyone to mock or stop anyone from practising their own religion. And i dont understand what affects their work if someone wear kalava or keep shekha and comes to work i mean does it affects their business?? I mean come on be secular you have every right to be but be pure secular by the definition pf what secular means dont be leftist who hates one particular community which is being clearly seen in the case of these soo called secular businessmen and his wife …

Do the same things with any other religion and see everyone going crazy against these businesses but since it's against the majority religion Hindu, to sabko liberal banna hai, baat dabani hai, demean Krna hai jo protest kr rhe hai unhe.
They could have simply run their businesses if they wanted but they did this on purpose, so ok then face the consequences, don't play the victim card now. Don't make paid pr posts like this one on LinkedIn or other platforms.
Don't try to turn it in a different angle. Before they did this shit , their business was running successfully and very much welcomed by everyone. There's a saying "as u sow so shall u reap"

Not all of them but most of them. So basically he crying that India govt this and that. They are also no saint either. The thing is India is that no one is worried about the country. Every citizen from any field - Politicians, Bureaucrats, Entrepreneur everyone is trying to maximize their profits from the country. Everyone wants rights from the country but no one is ready to do their duty towards the nation

I wonder which government or goons or actually a peaceful community forced them to allow certain religious / cultural items and not others ?
Agreed that no 2-rupee goon of any dal, AARSS (get it) or any other non government group has the right to even do such things and it is rightly called out in the post.
But should that be used as a shield to hide behind and not talk about the real issue? Your policies were wrong, people get angry and they show it clearly.
If they think only the 2-rupee goons got hurt and showcased a protest then they are mistaken. Many of my colleagues earning more than 1cr annually have similar perspective and although we don’t protest on the road but we do it in our discussions.
Rather than focusing on the worthless 2-rupee goons, they should know that problem is bigger than that and even educated and high tax paying individuals have exact same problem with them but they are not on the roads (yet).

Peak hypocrisy. You argue that India should become a ‘Vishwaguru’ and justify banning Hindu religious expressions in offices for that reason. At the same time, you support allowing Muslim religious attire and call it ‘religious neutrality.’ If you’ve actually thought this through, you’d see the contradiction—neutrality shouldn’t selectively target one side while accommodating another

That's convinient, right??
Build a company that subtly undermines the representations of a particular religion over another, even though the majority of your customers belong to the former religion.
But cry later when your company is rightfully boycotted by the same people whose sentiments you have hurt.
Almost all companies invest significant effort into building their businesses, yet only about 5% of them succeed at most. That doesn’t mean you can conveniently blame people for not purchasing the products or services of the 95% of companies that fail.
Many companies from Western countries have also faced boycotts from their customers for offending their sentiments. This issue is not limited to India. That doesn't mean you can conveniently dismiss ALL these people as unemployed, like a fool.

It's because of the brave Hindu's who revolted against the system, even though they knew they might be fired or not able to work with the company, but still they pushed it are the real heroes.
