Do not support the fakery regarding bookshelf. But we need to think beyond that, in actions, in policies. Let her whatever she wants in her private life. But who cares to analyse policies!
Also, there are certain sections who fail intent/unintentionally to see through words.
****Let her read/do anything in pvt life until it doesn't harm anyone.

We need to develop critical thinking skills (try to see through words at the actions at least), else no party will wish to save Bharat from any kind of tragedy.

Let's wake up.
@kansaratva ji well written.
Also, fakery if that genuinely is.

It appears as if we are nobody in India; as if those who came from outside alone matters."

No better description.

He was appointed as a teacher at Calcutta Hindu College (the today Presidency University) at the age of 17. His teachings invigorated a large number of Bengali youth to think independently, the group which played a key role in the Bengal Renaissance.
