[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called Haldi Dudh.

So tired of ancient, traditional Indian things being "reinvented" in the West after stripping it of it's Indian-ness to make it more palatable for the masses.[/quote]

Serious question: what part of that bothers you? You think there should only be one recipe for a food and only the culture that created that recipe should use it?  (I'm just thinking of all the different versions of bread or rice in the world.)[/quote]

Serious answer: It is cultural appropriation that White people do every time. Yes, great that you can drink Haldi-Dudh and become healthy, but give the due to the people who told you about it. And be respectful and call it Haldi Dudh. What's this nonsense with Golden Milk?  And no West does not grow Turmeric so they did not happen to stumble upon it.  It came from India - just like Yoga and cholley (not chick pea stew) and now Haldi Dudh.

I can understand the frustration of the PP1.  I personally worry about more serious transgressions than the cultural appropriation of 3rd world traditions and pretending that it is some fantastic discovery of West.  [/quote]

Okay fair enough but how was OP to know that "golden milk" was actually called Haldi-Dudh.  It was obviously not an intentional disrespect to anyone's culture.  I've never heard of it, so I would never stop to think "hmmmm let me research this drink to make sure I'm not appropriating someone's culture before I start talking about it".  Come on PP.

Now we know it's called Haldi-Dudh. I for one will never call it golden milk that's for sure. [/quote]

It's not YOU, it's the stupid instagrammers. "Oh look, I made this amazing concoction up myself and I will call it...oooooh....GOLDEN MILK"[/quote]
