The furore rose after several critics and Rajput communities referred to Deepika Padukone's attire in the song 'Ghoomar' indecent

Prominent MP and former diplomat Shashi Tharoor two days ago joined in on the #PadmavatiGhoongat rage that has been simmering on social media. Jumping no guns and cruising to the point, Tharoor,  minced no words as he tweeted, amid the many posts teetering between medieval 'values' and beliefs regarding 'respectful Rajput women' that female literacy and not ghoongat should be given importance.
