A fashion show held in Kashmir’s Gulmarg region by Indian designers Shivan & Narresh has sparked outrage among locals, politicians, and religious leaders. The show, which featured models wearing bikinis and underwear, was seen as disrespectful to Muslim traditions and culture, as it coincided with the holy month of Ramadan. Some critics accused the designers of “mocking their faith” and “disregarding local culture and sentiments.” The event, which was livestreamed on social media, was organized without permission from the local authorities, who have since launched an investigation. The controversy has raised concerns about cultural sensitivity and the impact of outside influences on local traditions.
