[quote=Anonymous]Wearing bangles or any Indian clothes is fine! If you're not Indian/Hindu ethnically but you are a practicing Hindu, that's fine too. If you're going to a S Asian event and wearing a bindi, that's fine. Just randomly using them to decorate yourself is not cool. I think it was Urban Outfitters or someone who came out with Hindu Gods on flip flops (of all things!!), and that is absolutely not ok. So it's not that complicated, but it depends. PPs explanation above was great. The only other thing I'll add that intent matters. If you are wearing it out of your own respect for a culture, I'm fine with whatever you wear. If it's just a fashion statement and it does have significance to another culture, don't do it. [/quote]
