Holi is the festival of colours. People come together and celebrate the colourful festival and celebrate the beginning of the spring season too with Holi. And we would say Holi if just a day back you had asked us which was our favourite festival. However, today that doesn't stand true anymore. We have got to know that a few men have been flinging semen filled balloons at women in the name of the festival.

'Semen Flinging’ - as the term suggests - literally means flinging semen filled balloons at women and believe it or not, it’s happening in our country! Sad, right? And while not many know about it, we thought we would bring it to you so that you can stay clear of this horrible practice. Gurmehar Kaur, an Instagrammer recently took to the social media platform to share a screenshot of her college fellow, Tolino Chishi’s post. It read, "I didn't know what seme-flinging was. I learnt that today. My kurti tells the tale."

Chishi’s post said, “Do you still wonder, why I go on harping about gender issues? Why I want the luxury that is equality? Do you still wonder why I believe that this country of ours needs feminism?” These misogynistic bunch of men have made it impossible for women to even walk on the roads without being manhandled or assaulted even on a festival. It doesn't get worse than this, does it?
