52:06Now PlayingOn The Urban Debate with Tanvi Shukla, In case of Agrima Joshua, the first response of Maharashtra govt was to order action against her. Unfortunately, that is what it has come to. When men take to social media & abuse women, give rape threats, no action is taken unless there's an outrage. Why this selective action?
I have to keep figuring out a better way to phrase myself, to put my words but I do wish there was an understanding towards our job. says, Comedian Sejal Bhat
It is beginning to feel like we are becoming one of the most dangerous places in the world, for women. It has literally gone from I am offended by this to let's rape a woman. says, Comedian Radhika Vaz
The vandals went to a comedy club & shot a video of themselves vandalising & put it out on social media. They aren’t in fear of action being taken, but we are afraid of telling a ‘joke’!. That tells how badly skewed the balance is. says, Comedian Neeti Palta.
The only thing these people have is their identity. While they are just being exposed to new information, they feel their identity is being challenged. That creates insecurity & it is expressed as anger, which is misdirected. says, Comedian Azeem Banatwalla.
