In Pune, watched this 'town hall' like show on NDTV.... some repetitive feminist posturing. I mean, they've been discussing this, the same issues forever with no change nor progress. Same old, same old.... how they've been shown in cinema, on television.... what's gotta be done. The same script since like '92 on TV, or was it '92?
Anyhoo, the same people - grand olde dames, overweight society dowagers, over-the-hill actresses, bimbettes, and an everyman audience that wants to just be seen on TV (hence the idiot questions). They talk and talk, and go round in circles - nothing ever happens after. They'll do this again every quarter on tv, pick up on any irrelevant news item that 'threatens the presentation of the sacred feminine'. This, by the most privileged section of Indian society, the one that's least affected by the subject matter.
The tubby presenter-moderator Barkha 'Horsie Amanpour' Dutt continues to not let anyone finish a sentence, and also poses leading questions. The society dames will make it a shouting match, and go home in a Merc or so. Like they care about the really downtrodden. They'll do nothing. Really? Do you think?
