The Atlantic Derides Holi as gory.

The writer tries to paint Holi celebrations as political rallies rejoicing over PM Modi's win. She tries to shame those celebrating by calling the water-throwing "gory" and giving unappealing descriptions of how the people look. She also brings in the claim that most BJP supporters support Trump so as to make those celebrating Holi feel ashamed about the "potential" political significance of their celebration.
