Ukraine's 'Maa Kali' tweet sparks Hinduphobia allegations by Indian users

Hindustan Times  

A morphed image of a female figure above blast smoke tweeted by the Ukrainian defence ministry on Sunday triggered outrage, with netizens accusing it of mimicking the Hindu deity Kali and labelling it disrespectful and "Hinduphobic." "I am absolutely appalled to see the Ukrainian defence handle mocking Maa Kali, a revered Hindu goddess. The "Hindu goddess Kali" caricature was blended over a blast fume picture purportedly coming from a Russian fuel storage facility in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, which was allegedly hit by a Ukrainian drone on Saturday. According to Reuters, quoting RBC Ukraine, a Ukrainian military intelligence official stated that more than ten tanks of oil products with a capacity of roughly 40,000 metric tonnes meant for use by Russia's Black Sea Fleet were destroyed.
