@Shashikant__B Did one scroll of your profile. You are a PhD and I'm just a sub par college grad and despite all your research credentials (and hate) you don't know Shekhar Gupta is Padma Bhushan already? Sigh. One google search, sir. You don't need a college degree or PhD for that.

[STELLA @BrownKhaleesi]

@Shashikant__B @promzzz You completely missed the point. No one eats non veg INSIDE PANDALS IN BENGAL. If VHP bengal is full of Bengalis, do they not know this? You called me a sub par college grad. I shared my credentials. The religion answer was for the BJP troll. Called me crypto christian.

@UbiquitousLenz @ThePrintIndia We are all allowed to make an informed choice. I made mine from family experiences, reading everything thoroughly, and realising all religions are anti-women & a scam. I belong to one community now: women. I'd also add, I don't argue with people who are religious. The end.

[STELLA @BrownKhaleesi]

@musab1 Did you even read it? I literally start with this. As a woman I have every right to comment on this. This has nothing to do with religion. I understand that you believe showing hair is overly displaying sexuality. Hair could tempt men. The onus is on women. I end this here.

[STELLA @BrownKhaleesi]

@musab1 There are decades of feminist writing on the fashion industry, beauty standards, male gaze and the sexualisation of women. The hijab was in the court right now, hence its being debated again. What I don't understand is why the men are so offended. Hijab has NOTHING to do with men

[STELLA @BrownKhaleesi]

@musab1 Applies to other clothing shaped by gendered expectations, whether revealing or covering. A woman can choose any but that doesn't make the history behind the choice irrelevant. Agency deserves respect but conditioning needs examination.

@SamKhan999 Did you read the piece I just shared by Samah Qundeel? If the agenda you say the organisation has, then why was Samah given a voice? She clearly doesn't have the same opinion as me, and according to you, ThePrint doesn't give a voice to those not following the 'agenda'

[STELLA @BrownKhaleesi]

@SamKhan999 Hey, please read this piece on ThePrint which is pro-hijab. At the same organisation, we can have different opinions. And both get published.

Vande Mataram will now precede the National Anthem at the Red Fort on Independence Day. Few states are pushing back on the full version being mandatory. Watch #ThePrintNewsmaker with Stela Dey @brownkhaleesi
