Women are killed because people label them as chudails. But Indians didn’t see the problem when Farhan Akhtar shouted ‘chudail alert’ in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
‘Cassette culture’ discusses the boom of Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar saw the pinnacle of success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
So true but it never occurred to me while watching zindegi na milegi…how mainstream cinema promote sexism. The problem is Feminism, castisym are conveniently used by Bollywood stars to suit their views. That is distorting the cause unfortunately.
Did you notice as much as certain modern day feminist sections of the media are supporting Rhea Chakraborty, none of them have a word to say about her brother who is arrested in almost similar charges.
Do we still need even an iota of thought to realise that modern day feminism has got nothing to do with gender equality!
Say yes to true feminism which stands for gender equality!
Male counterparts exist as well – tantric, jadugar, aghori, etc. But you are correct they are not as popular as the female counterparts. Another figment of the patriarchal society. But the same is true for west as well. Witches are more popular and are often demonized. Wizards and warlocks less and are seldom demonized as a group. Just a bad apple here and there. So true for entire world. But I also think depicting them as cartoons is even good. Makes it a laughable subject and reduces fear. Also makes it imaginary.
