While people generally prefer Twitter over other tools for expressing their opinion, sometime some tweets can go ugly and result in a full blown war. A similar thing happened when noted journalist tweeted her views on Karwachauth saying the festival seems to be regressive and patriarchal to her. Though her tweet was not directed to any particular individual, actress Raveena Tandon slammed the journalist on twitter and not only defend the festival but also tried to preach her a lesson on tolerance.
Here is the sequence of tweets for you to get the entire picture.
I know its all about 'Choice' but no power has yet been able to convince me that #karvachauth is not inherently regressive & patriarchal!

@TandonRaveena sure Raveena, like I said its about 'choice' but that word allows by definition for my opinion to differ from yours 🙂

@TandonRaveena I think to curtail my expression is to go against the essence of choice- the same choice you claim when you believe in it.
