chalen ji bollywood ko chhoRen, here is an article, which says ‘Bindi’ is also ‘Tilaka’. Interesting. Now, Bindi has been famous even in Muslims of Bengladesh and some parts of Pakistan.

Tilak Forehead Mark - Hindu Symbols - ReligionFacts

The tilak (Sanskrit tilaka, “mark”) is a mark made on a Hindu’s forehead. On a man, the tilak takes the form of a line or lines and usually indicates his sectarian affiliation. On women, a tilak usually takes the form of a bindi dot, which has its own symbolism

Reminds me of Sir Naipaul, Hinduism is more about symbolism than about religion and it is also moving from one symbol to another

@ Southie, poor taste and getting offended are two different thing IMHO
