I have nothing against the protests- everyone has right to protest and be heard. But let’s be clear about the intentions. Time and again, the public gets fooled by those who are experts in rhetoric, including those in the present and past administration. Most of the protesters are paving way for their political careers, and one is not sure what new ideas they have to offer that we haven’t heard before. So in many ways, the young has nothing ‘revolutionary’ to offer. Say Neha and others have their way, what will follow? We will get more of the same old stuff.. the ‘warmth of collectivism’ that we have been getting since independence, fiscal indiscipline in name of social justice and more chasm in society in the name of identity politics.
Our young need role models outside politics, media and Bollywood. There are many admirable young women entrepreneurs who are making better and deeper impact in peoples lives that deserve coverage.
Vultures have a singular aim in life – to feast on kills made by others.
Just like them, you too Ms. Kaur, love to celebrate anyone and everyone who opposes Modi and BJP.
Be it Neha Bora or Ratna Singh or Khalistani extremists or Islamist militants – anyone and everyone that despises Modi and attacks him is dear to you.
But for the love of God, please don’t put up the chicanery of being a feminist and supporting feminism. Because it simply does not matter to you.
As always, Madam your writing is top notch and detailed perspective. Thank you
A well-written article. Thanks for this piece.
