It is one thing to state that you support or oppose wrestlers. Quite another to delcare innocence or guilt. You don't have all the info. As I keep saying repeatedly, every time this happens, let the due process be followed, and let the court judge. Rest of us, chill.
Also, don't get so charged up everytime a big shot alleges something, is denied bail/not arrested, or a gruesome incident makes news. Coz once that dies out, you will be back to trollling, not caring a bit about any reforms that change things for Indians.
I start fm a position of trust when women make sexual harassment accusations. Bt justice is court's job. Too bad if you have to deal with the shit that every Indian deals with when it comes to police/judiciary! I prefer on removing that prob for all Indians; not just for spl ppl.
If those doing dharnas were agitating to bring about a change in how the police handles sexual harassment complaints - I would have supported it even if it were infested by andolan jeevis. But this is spl ppl demanding spl treatment. Hard pass.
Do you see many Gujjus making fuss about a Gujarati hitting the winning runs for a non-Gujju team? That so many were in yellow on NaMo ground in heart of Gujarat supporting CSK for a guy from Ranchi? The reason why Gujjus are happy people. Faltu ka heartache lene ka nahi. 😀
On the other hand, one moron I do not wish to give mileage to, wet dreamed about a rerun of last night's IPL match in politics. Never mind that there are no TN players in CSK. :)

Oh, please. Don't do the Batla house version of Con. Your voters will get annoyed, not fooled by it! Better take these kinds of
religiously-motivated horrific crimes across the nation as serious law & order problems that, if not curbed, will threaten internal harmony & security.
There was no police around, but ppl were there, & don't think they were Muslims. They watched a Hindu girl getting butchered. Try doing that to a Muslim with a dozen Muslims watching. You aren't Hindu enough but want govt to be one. Funny.
It's a free country, & people are free to protest for anything & everything. But when the specific grievance of a small group of individuals threaten to disrupt or destroy symbols of nation or events of national significance, it's unfair to a billion plus.
Republic day, Independence day, or something like today - the inauguration of new parliament building, which is going to be the temple of our democracy for next 150+ years - should be respected. A few hundred or even a few thousand spoiling it for a billion+ is not right.

If I wanted to tell everyone who asks me, why would I keep that article subscribers-only? :)
I may not get even a few hundred paid subscibers to my blog, and it's fine. It is not just about money to me. It is about the mentality where we want things for free. So, you either subscriber, or wait until I willingly make it available for free.
May the new temple of democracy ignite the divine within we the people, imparting us the wisdom to discern the best interests of India & vote accordingly to ensure that only the true well-wishers of this great civilisation gain entry into this sacred space. #NewParliamentBuilding
Unfortunatley, that billion is either divided, or short-sighted or extremely impatient.

Nope. Being a woman professional, I have worked through periods all my professional life. Periods aren't something that disables you for three days. At worst, the cramps, but there are medications. Women can't fight for equality & then ask for special treatment at the same time.
All these 'rights', which aren't that necessary, that ppl seek for women, actually work against them in the job market. As a woman, all I need is a level playing field, equal pay & safe environment, not 3 days of leave, when I know I am not going to rest.
