Indian Singer Sonu Nigam Slammed For Saying Goddess Kaali Wears Fewer Clothes Than Radhe Maa

Singing sensation Sonu Nigam kicked up quite a storm by defending Radhe Maa's wardrobe, and dancing habits yesterday on social media. Soon after, the former 'Sa Re Ga Ma' host found himself the object of a lot of hate for comparing the alleged godwoman's skimpy attire to the Hindu goddess Kali, but refused to back down from his stance.

Just my 2 pence. Kaali Maa is depicted in lesser clothes than Radhey Maa. Interesting that this country wants to sue a woman for her clothes

Wanna sue, sue the followers... Sue YOURSELVES.. For making them God men and women. Setting different rules for men and women, not fair.

In addition to this, Nigam also posted a lengthy Facebook message, asking people "how does the number and length of clothes on a person define his or her Spiritual Quotient?"

To my fellow Indians... To the people who both do, and don't have the honesty to read a message in it's real context,...
