Many of you have watched #Patalok. Many of you have criticised it for it's misrepresentation of #NorthEasternIndia and #Bengalis. I don't want to get into the above controversies. However, I was surprised that people forgot to see the bigger picture.
Here are #topicstobeoutragesabout in #Patalok:
1.#Transgendersinprison- The show clearly showed the condition of #Transgendersinprison. No seperate prisons exist for them. They are kept with men and are regularly violated. No outrage about it. #LGBTQ rights don't matter in India.

2.#PoliceBrutality- #PoliceBrutality is glorified in Indian movies. No one preaches or talks against #PoliceBrutality. With #IndiaLockdown in place we saw many instances of it. However, no one bats an eye because #PoliceBrutality is romanticised and normalised in India.
3.#Indiasabandonedchildren- A lot of children are abandoned or left behind in railway stations and trains. They are #assaulted, #exploited and #raped. No one batted an eye on it too. Afterall they are not your children. These pushes them to drugs. #notmychild afterall.
4.#SkepticismaboutaMuslimspatroitism- For the past #6years #Muslimbashing has been normalised in #India. However, why should we raise voice about it. It adheres to our long held #biasaboutmuslims. However, this is not a problem to be outraged about it.
#Arttriggersconversation but it seems the previous mentioned controversies matter more than the #realones.
