. — Vani Mehrotra (@vani_mehrotra) GT mall has denied entrance for our farmers in Bengaluru !!!,this is not acceptable at any cost, we see lots of them dressed less than 50% of their body ,how can u not allow Annadatha farmers who cover themselves 90% and that to our traditional attire .this is trouble man ! — PARAMESH JAGADISH (@parameshj71) is it a crime to enter with dhoti in the mall? Why do malls sell the latest trending dhoti as fashion icons ? mindless owners.

they can't respect our tradition. they allow customers when people wear shorts but can't allow when customers visit dhotis. .
