It wasn’t long ago when Sonu Nigam raised ears/brows with his now (in)famous Azaan rant on Twitter. Yes, it might have led to Fatwas against him, subsequently making him shave his head to maintain his stand but his voice echoed for a long time and how!
In fact, it kicked off a debate, dividing the entire nation into more than two halves. Some spoke against and some spoke for, but ‘forced religiousness’ became the dining-room talk in every family. So much so, that Sonu had to quit Twitter to lessen the noise he had complained about in the first place. But just when we thought that was it, a new tweet has surfaced around the corner.
Actress-Singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has now joined the bandwagon, deeming Azaan on loudspeakers as ‘imposed religiosity.’ She tweeted,
came home at 4.45 am 2 most aggressive/ ear shattering call of azaan. Nothing more lowlife & dumb than such extreme imposed religiousity

nobody objects to azaan or prayers during decent hours. But to be wakung up entire neighbourhood at 5 am is not civilized https://t.co/PBT94NtuGN
