The pre-Diwali celebration at Lady Shri Ram College received hateful response online by right-wing trolls who criticised the carnival with shameful slurs for using “Urdu terms” to “celebrate a Hindu festival”. The college administration was online for cherishing Diwali with the “Noor 2024” banner. 

“What is Noor? Stupid officials of @LSRDU should be thrashed publicly for disrespecting Hinduism and appropriating Deepawali,” a social media user wrote on ‘X’.

“All nationalist student organisations must protest against this Islamisation of our festivals!” another netizen responded. 

The trolls and Godi media reported that “Noor 2024” is a “sickular” (secular, written in hate) “Islamification” of a Hindu festival and LSR is destroying the alleged “Hindutva culture” with secular ethos. 

“Such a pathetic management of Lady Shri Ram…. It Looks like a Pakistan sponsored event” another one wrote in the comment section that was already filled with communal slurs and hateful terms.
