Not just colleagues, employers, teachers, neighbors and random stranger, but if the likes of C Manjula are to be believed, it seems even violent criminals are allowed to teach bad girls (and often even bad young boys) a lesson in India.
Do you agree?
Have your parents ever received a complaint about your morals, life style or personal choices, like how you dress, how you laugh, walk, talk, who your friends are, etc from relatives, teachers, employers, neighbors’ third cousins?
Were you an adult when these complaints were made?
What do you think motivated the complainant? What seems to concern the society the most in these matters – clothing, interactions, the hour of the day… are the intentions generally malicious or well-meaning?
Would the complainant have taken the same kind of effort to help a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault or dowry, or a road accident victim?
What makes Indians choose some issues over some other issues?
