Women may enter the workforce in large numbers, but evidence from multiple sectors shows that participation does not automatically translate into leadership or economic power.
To Chinese commentators, India has unresolved colonial-era borders, a rigid territorial outlook, pressures from smaller neighbours, and persistent security anxieties.
Politics demands an ability to reach beyond established networks and to appeal to constituencies that do not share the same ideological commitments. Jamaat has struggled on this front.
Production houses and big studios are already fast-tracking projects pitched by pro-Hindutva players. Choking those who choose to remain outside these charmed circles is not a big deal.
Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ was the talk of the town in March 2024. In Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, women serve as mere victims and plot devices.

Many assume that India has a single “culture.” It’s not. Earlier also people from different regions were following their own culture, but the homogenising groups with their own idea of “Indian culture” never recognised it. May of these advocates of “Indian culture” were the “sanskaris” who were going around condemning young couples holding hands
The point is the original author Karanjeet Kaur did not diagnose what cultural notes make one conservative. Gen Z doesn’t have the material resources for self expression like millennial and Gen X. As the old saying goes “don’t kill a mockingbird” – yet we should see the ground level impact of it. Many “trad” Gen Z will have a girlfriend of the opposite caste whose parents are not allowing for marriage; many liberal Gen Z also follow orthodox rules within their private lives. This contradiction will only turn to nuance as Gen Z gets older – the original author only participates in killing the mockingbird for now.
A well-written rebuttal. Unfortunately, Ms Kaur’s article seemed more like a rant littered with name calling, generalistaions, oversimplifications, and a plain lack of the archetypal liberal’s favourite buzzword – ‘nuance’ – at least when viewing Bharatiya / Dharmic culture.
Also yes “Sainik Farm aunties” was the absolute limit of depravity. Completely loaded with sub-zero substance, brimming with stigma.
I have a by-now oft-used phrase for this situation – I am happy to have ‘granny hobbies’ or sound like ‘auntie’. My grannies and aunts were among the wisest people, so, as I say when someone terms me one, ‘Taken as a compliment!’
