A young man, Ketan Agarwal, is dead. Police allege his fiancée and her lover plotted, rehearsed and pushed him off Lohagad Fort.
And ThePrint/Shobhaa De turns this into “Gen Z”, arranged marriage, attraction, “type” and hair-patch commentary.
This is not journalism. This is gendered victim-blaming.
Forced marriage is wrong. Lack of attraction is not a defence. A man’s baldness or hair patch is not motive, mitigation or comedy.
When a male victim is killed, his body, looks and perceived desirability are casually put on trial. Would the same tone be used if the victim were a woman?
Stop romanticising accused women. Stop dehumanising male victims.
Justice for Ketan Agarwal.
@impuni@KirkLubimov I agree, we should have let Pakistan do worst of humanity crimes to these brainless Bangladeshi people. And once most of the population is wiped out then India should have intervened and do whatever we did to those Paki soldiers.
@GyanJaraHatke We are also in the same category brother, not just Indians in India but Indians abroad as well. Why are we not protesting around the world like people of some specific religion are protesting for Palestine.
We should fund such protest at global stage for minority Hindus
Why would a person born in Pakistan, living in Australia kiII innocent Australians for events that took place in Gaza? What is the ideology that propels this hatred? The whole world knows the answer, no one will dare to say it though!
