You know you have to understand when a case pops up on social media
it is understandable you'd be affected by it. You will have this utter sense of revolt and disgust at the perpator who commited this crime. A crime is a crime and can be anything- eve teasing, lynchings. (1/n)
-rapes, murders and what not. Anybody, no matter the ideology will condemn it. But today, you see the selective actvism by most of the SM stars. Raising one of the incidents so high while the other victim languish. The point is
that why is voice raised for one incident - (2/n)
The social influencers and/or the pole bearers of feminism do not post a story of the even unless it doesn't suit a storyline with certain fixed cliché - which include,
-A BJP ruled state,
-A victim belonging to any social strata/relegion except a Hindu.
-Accused is UC. (3/n)
-as consumer of social media and one being influenced you have to understand the difference bw activism and selective propoganda. The point - wearing a certain kind of dress or smoking cigarettes is not feminism.. but raising your voice against a crime against woman/man is. (4/n)
I have seen people adoring Kusha Kapila/Dolly/Prajakta but none stand up for all the cases unless splashed around in media and fulfilling above requirements. Don't believe me but see for yourself. (5/n)
You have to understand when someone says Brahmin life matters, She/he doesn't necessarily is putting down other movements but is actually trying to make you aware that such kind of atrocities are being done to them also. In same way it goes for the other side. (6/n)
In this thread all I expect is little concern from the left lobby as well. It's not a matter of ideology but life. In both seperate incidents, lives were lost and it's victim is someone you blame for supremacy. This is not supremacy but this is also not a victim card. (7/n)
