In recent times, women-oriented hashtags have taken the spotlight on social media, and have made a statement in a big way. From the #MeToo campaign that gained popularity all across the world to the recent #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer, which caught up in India after Goa CM Manohar Parrikar’s statement, many such instances in the past have evoked positive reactions. Apart from circling around serious issues, some hashtags like the #NosePinTwitter or the #SuitTwitter added a tad bit of fun in the past as well. And now, the latest addition to the list is #BindiTwitter!
Women are sharing their selfies to flaunt their bindis on the Internet along with the hashtag. While we have not been able to verify the origin of the hashtag or the Twitter handle that started the trend, but it has been picked up by many young women on the networking website. Interestingly, those who are sharing the picture are also not too sure of the trend, but have joined in nonetheless. Here are some of the pictures and thoughts that were shared with the hashtag.
