Tanishaa Mukerji has criticised what she described as hostility from elitist Hindus, arguing that people should support their country rather than undermine it.
Strongly worded message on X
In a post on X, Mukerji said she was “truly shocked” by what she called the “blind hate” of some supposedly well-educated, elitist Hindus. She also accused them of having a “complete British hangover”.
Mukerji directed her sharpest remarks at people who, in her view, have greater affection for London and America. “If u love London and America so much. Pls leave! We don’t want u here trying to put us down!” she wrote.
Call for support despite problems
Although the post did not provide context about the protests or directly address them, Mukerji emphasised the importance of backing one’s country. She acknowledged that India faces many problems but said progress takes time.
She also pointed to the country’s development over the past decade, writing that people should consider “where we have reached in the last 10 years”.
The post places national support at the centre of Mukerji’s message while expressing frustration with criticism she associates with Western admiration and an elitist outlook.
