This ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ is not just ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป.
Itโs ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐บ. And ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐.
Yesterday, I walked into a ZARA ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ in Mumbai, only to be shocked - rack after rack, Hundreds of clothes proudly labeled โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎโ ๐ค๐ง โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฝ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐จ๐.โ
Yes, ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ - the same country that has sent naval warships to Karachi and supplied ๐ฏ๐ฌ๐ฌโ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป, now being used against our soldiers in the name of proxy warfare. But it doesnโt stop there.
Even ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ต stated that if India goes to war with Pakistan, they should consider โ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐๐.โ
Yet, right here on Indian soil, their economy is thriving through global brands like ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐, which sell ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ-made products to Indian customers.

Itโs not just ZARA - look at brands like MANGO, LC Waikiki, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ H&M ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐.

We canโt just ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป and stay silent on its allies.
With advanced weapons, Economic warfare is real. Every rupee we spend empowers their defense.
So I made my choice:
๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐.
I kept those clothes back and walked out.
If ZARA continues to sell Made in Turkey & Bangladesh products in India, itโs time we ask ourselves:
๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐บ & ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ-๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐? ๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ >> ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป? ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ.
We need to unite . Not just with missiles , but with money , minds, and morals.
Letโs strike where it hurts them most - their economy.
