Curious to know.

An memsahib who is living in India for the past 30 years  or so ,on top of her m-i-ls' flat that ought to automatically qualify her according to her insight into Indians as a typical bahu has gently ,very gently chastised the exaggeration of sensitivities regarding religion of late by a section of Hindu society by referring to many incidents ,one such being the protests over the sari worn by a popular South Indian actress turned political activist  to a public function,that was either printed or woven with the images of 2 important avatars of Vishnu as well as other gods , 

My inquisitive poser ,as a person who has never set a foot out of Bharat , to this highly secular columnist full of catholicity  is,would the ordinary folks out there at her native country --Britain , digest and tolerate an evening gown embossed with the images of the saviour and the holy mother and saints,if it  is worn by an actress cum atheist cum  activist cum political commentator cum half Scottish  person like say Emma Thompson , to a public function?

PS. As a resident of Chennai for the past 30 years i have seen most of the box office hits of Tamill films  and in earlier years i found this actress's persona very pleasing.
