In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, a Zomato delivery agent was compelled to remove his Santa Claus costume by a member of the Hindu Jagran Manch on Christmas. The group’s district convenor, Sumit Hardia, questioned the delivery company’s decision to dress agents in non-Hindu festival attire, claiming it disrespected Hindu traditions. A video showed Hardia asking, "Do you ever go to homes dressed as Lord Ram?" The delivery agent explained it was a company directive. Hardia alleged such costumes promote religious conversions and called for similar acknowledgment of Hindu festivals. The incident has sparked a broader conversation on cultural sensitivity.
