For those who are having a hard time understanding why this post by Shabana would be considered inflammatory and offensive to Hindus, allow me to give you a counter example. Imagine on Eid, if I was a celebrity and tweeted, "This Eid, I pray that no Aisha is married off to a Muhammad", insinuating that fact that little girls are married off to old men in the Islamic world, a precedent set by Muhammad himself, imagine the outrage that would cause, the great risk to personal security, death threats, and career suicide, even though it's completely true, would you think I was being sincerely concerned, or jusing this as an opportunity in attacking Islam and Muslims?
That is exactly what Shabana has done here, she used Navratri as an opportunity to attack Hindus and Hindu culture by using names of Hindu deities as they would stoke emotion, the message is not sincere, as it achieves nothing, except vilifying a community.

ThisππAbsolutely agree. She is talking about all this when the time came for her to raise her voice and show support to the MetooIndia movement , she went into hiding. Why didn't she support these victims and condemn the accused.Sajid Khan her own relativeAlok NathNana patekarshe won't. This is where her hypocrisy comes inForget that, then comes her birthday party cutting a cake which had the Dharavi theme, so much for showing concern, sympathy and empathy.On top of that, she is supporting that very person, who cried out " bharat tere tukde honge" "Afzal hum sharminda hai, tere qatil zinda hai"She called him our only hope

Coming from Shabana Azmi this tweet could have several colors but the tweet itself is not wrong and shouldnt be taken as inflammatory or offensive in any way. And the fact that one cant say the same about vile practices is Islam is only proof of that Hinduism still hasn't reached that level of religious intolerance that all these other religions show. People in a rational and ideal world should be able to discuss the many wrongdoings and vile practices by Mohammad himself without getting gunned down like in Paris or blowed up or being called Islamophobic.I think we as a religion and culture take names of goddesses too seriously and actually have none of that concern for girls themselves. Navratri or Durga puja would be the perfect opportunity to remind the so called devout that its time to respect real women and not women made out of mud and clay. So I find the names used appropriate.
