This toady seeks to portray Jauhar - an act of self-sacrifice by women, in the face of certain defeat, to save collective honour - as an act committed only in the face of Islamic invasions or battles. This is patently false as subsequent tweets in this thread will show.

#Thread Idi0t’s Guide to #NoBindiNoBusiness, for the trolls who deliberately misinterpret the hashtag n the thought behind it. Repeat after me, #No_Bindi_No_Business is about CHOICE. It is not a compulsion, it is not a law. It is about the right of the ordinary Hindu to say NO!
When brands advertise for Hindu festivals like #AkshayaTritiya #Ugadi #Deepavali #GaneshChaturthi it is a reasonable expectation that they should respect the consumer’s culture, traditions, symbols. A bindi/Tilak/sindoor is one of the prominent Hindu symbols #NoBindiNoBusiness
If a brand wants Hindu money, the brand HAS to respect Hindu sentiments. The ads have to reflect the Hinduness, the joy, the spiritual significance of the festival. You want Hindus to buy gold from you for #AkshayaTritiya then show respect to Hindu culture. #NoBindiNoBusiness

द्वापर में दोनों ने #श्रीकृष्ण व अर्जुन बन लीला रची
केदार-बदरीवन में उन्होंने जिन पार्थिव लिंग की पूजा की, वह शिव रूपी केदारेश्वर ज्योतिर्लिंग हुए- शिव पुराण

Oldest ref to #AkshayaTritiya is in विष्णुधर्मसूत्र. Emphasis is on the worship of vAsudeva,fasting, oblations of whole grains & donating them.Whatever a man donates on that day becomes inexhaustible.
उपोषितोऽक्षतैर्वासुदेवमभ्यर्च्य तानेव हुत्वा दत्त्वा च सर्वपापेभ्यः पूतो भवति।
उपोषितोऽक्षतैर्वासुदेवमभ्यर्च्य तानेव हुत्वा दत्त्वा च सर्वपापेभ्यः पूतो भवति।
The MatsyapurANa too praises donation or sacrifice on #AkshayaTritiya. Fasting is recommended as well. The tithi becomes special with kRttikA-nakShatra.
