An Indian-American plastic surgeon's viral response to racist comments over her bindi has reignited debate about online hate, cultural identity and discrimination. After Dr Karishma Reddy shared a light-hearted video about a patient interaction, she was flooded with xenophobic and anti-Hindu abuse, including comments telling her to 'go back to India.' Instead of responding with anger, she explained the cultural significance of the bindi and appealed for kindness. In this video, Firstpost explores what happened, why the backlash matters, how social media amplifies racism and misinformation, and what Dr Reddy's response reveals about identity, inclusion and respect in the digital age. Cary Johnston brings you the details on Firstpost America.
