A video showing Japanese tourists being confronted and allegedly mistreated over their attire and perceived disrespect to the Ganga River at Varanasi's Dashashwamedh Ghat has sparked social media debate. Locals reportedly accused the tourists, some wearing Santa hats and swimwear, of urinating in the river. The tourists apologized, and authorities stated no physical violence occurred. The incident has prompted discussions on hospitality, cultural sensitivity, and India's image as a tourist destination, with some users criticizing the aggressive approach while others defended local religious sentiments.
