Stop This “Braveheart” Nonsense: Give Rohtak Sisters All Awards But Not For Bravery

When the two sisters in the Rohtak (Haryana) bus were being attacked on Sunday, the obvious thing the bus driver and attendant should have done was to drive the bus to the nearest police station and hand over the molesters to law officers. There were several eye-witnesses, the assaulter/abusers as well as their victims were present in the same spot at the same time and it would have saved the girls the trauma of recounting their story to the police. The problem would then have been appropriately framed and shifted to the state authorities whose job it is to protect citizens.

Rohtak 'Dabanng' Girls: The Ritual Of Social Media Outrage Is All ‘Chutzpah’

In the movie Haider, the protagonist uses the word ‘chutzpah’ to telling effect. The English dictionary won’t tell you what exactly he meant by that; its import lies in the context of his utterances. Try thinking of a regular, and popular, expression in Hindi sounding close to it, maybe things will get clearer. 

And ‘chutzpah’ (sorry about using it here, but it feels apt) is the word that comes immediately to the mind when one notices the outrage on the social media and elsewhere after every incident of rape or molestation of women in the country.
