Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘Useless feminism’ DE June 20. The author in her thought provoking has rightly reacted to the brand of feminism propagated by some self styled feminists. It has become a culture now to plead the cause of celebrities rather than the common masses. Media too goes overboard to give more coverage to elite section of society. The case of Dalit women raped by her husband and others did not receive much media attention. It is because of this partisan role played by media that common masses get neglected. There are thousands of people who go unheard either by media or by police.
The author has very well expressed that there exist two states within one country- India and Bharat. India for those who are the pampered lot, and Bharat for those who are underprivileged, unheard, famished and neglected.
One does not know how much time it will take the country to blur the lines that divide the citizens as privileged and underprivileged. Till then the upper section of the society will enjoy the fruits of power they wield upon the Government machinery.
Yours etc…
