India doesn't need your interpretation of Hinduism!

Before I start, I want to make it clear that this article is going to be highly influenced by Narendra Modi and the new face of India - The Guardian  but  is strictly not about  Narendra Modi or discussing Indian politics. Enough has been read, written and published about the present scenario of Indian politics. What I worry about is the politicisation of Hinduism .Fine !

An open letter to Shobhaa De.

Dear Sobha De, I see you know very well that we live in the largest democracy of the world and we are allowed to enjoy the freedom of expression to its funniest extent.I am not a BJP Supporter and I do not belong to a defined group of feminists but I simply don't agree with the facts ,sentences and the misleading and unresponsible piece of your work published in THE WEEK. LeT'S COME TO THE POINT! JASHODABEN.....I accept I did't know her a week ago and I still choose to know her as a stranger NOT in a sad position as you have introduced her in your column.I am very surprised to see the use of your words for a lady who has't uttered a single word about her personal or professional life. DITCHED by her husband?? Is it the right word to explain a story of a lady who chose to struggle and succeded.Do you have any idea what it takes to start a fresh after such incident.I guess this is the reward for the struggle and the determination of a woman by a woman .You seem very con...
