What is troubling is that people, who routinely put up pictures on Facebook showing what a good life they have at various pub-like venues, do seem to believe that compromising women’s freedom is not a serious matter; it is not a principle they find important to uphold. I wonder if they have asked the women standing next to them in those photos, what they feel. They also sometimes say — why single Modi out for the efficient massacre of minorities under his governance (efficiency paane ke liye massacre dena padta hai I guess). Hasn’t everyone else done it too? The question is, if they believe what others have done is wrong, why excuse Modi? What are these sweet, self-declared pragmatic, crony capitalism warriors willing to give up for the greater good, or let’s say, benefit? A useless question perhaps to ask those whose privileges are after all built up of other people’s sacrifices.
