Check out today’s #BigPicture #DeccanHerald

[Deccan Herald @DeccanHerald]

A woman in Bihar was harassed and humiliated on camera. The footage was real. But when it began circulating online, a false communal identity was attached to the incident, turning a crime against two people into a story about religious conflict.

A similar pattern played out with another viral video from Bangladesh that was circulated as a communal attack in India.

The result is more powerful than an ordinary fake: people are not being asked to believe something that never happened. They are being asked to believe something real happened for a completely different reason.

What happens when a real video becomes ammunition for a false story?

💯 so true, this!

[Santosh Desai @desaisantosh]

Happiness, however great, seems to be short lived. And contentment is seen to be a bit like making peace what one has. An examination of what lies beneath these ideas.

The 'ideal' victim fallacy

Even in the face of oppression or violence, a woman is expected to 'behave' in a manner that meets 'ideal' standards.
