Often on the limited social media that I use(wapp messages related to teaching, status adding, blogging, googling, emailing, watching truly relevant YouTube material and, may be, once or twice a week, the FB or the Telegram for teaching related messages), there are indeed bits of information, both rather sensitive as well as thoughtful and ethical.
Such a use of the social media brings forth many aspects of the harsh and ugly reality around us as in the "Crime Patrol". There was this incident which showed how the "chinky eyes", as they are mercilessly teased, Nepalese girls are absolutely abused by all sorts of devils in the human garb.
Honestly, when one sees such terrible exploitation of women, one really feels angry with actresses who strut around wearing skimpy and revealing clothes, thereby inciting the worst fantasies that such poor souls have to suffer.
One such absolutely awful atrocity was the "Shot" perfume ad. Disgusting every which way indeed! And yet the male gaze was not easily averted in and about the ad till the women activists raised a huge hell of a reaction about it, the real stink indeed!
In the wake of the early 90's LPG model, the rising middle class grew more and more aspirational which was further fostered by the easy access to the western shores for ordinary Indians in the wake of the Y2K, for instance. As a result, any success any which way, without bothering about the cost or the values, became the norm.
Entire generations, the millennial, the post-millennial, and so on and so forth, thus became self obsessed in a cheap way. The slide is on, and there is no way it would end soon, as the suffering of the poor(in all senses of the term) proves bitterly!
