Parents are to blame man.
In a fancy Muslim wedding once, there were these Manipuri hostesses.
My sweet little innocent elder daughter (I have two) was teasing her elder brother about ogling the "chinkis" in their short dresses.
I never use the term and I know my wife does not, and she said it pretty loud, so I was embarrassed and sat all 3 of them down and gave them a stern lecture on how they are Indian, respect, political correctness, the works.
Obviously this girl's parents did nothing of the sort while she was growing up.
Did this girl use a racial slur in her post? All she said was what many people thought - that a city shouldn't be held hostage over a man's death. If anybody wants to not work for that reason, that's their right. But the entire city shutdown because they feared shiv sena goons. You yourself have made it amply clear that you live in fear of them and what they can do, and what will happen to people who speak against them.
Her parents have done an excellent job in making sure that she speaks her mind. I hope there are more people like her, so that Indians will not be cowed down by implied or real threats. Its the parents of the shiv sainiks who should hang their heads in shame for breeding people who rule through fear.
Bravo to the girl, bravo to her parents, shame on the people who have made a society that fears them so much that they dare not speak their minds or ply their daily trade.
And I agree with you that people like thakerey are not born everyday - she was wrong about that. There are not too many politicians in India who make people afraid to speak anything against them. Not the gandhis, not advani, not prakash karat. Only the likes of thakerey and the sainiks have the distinction of controlling people through fear. Thugs like him are not born everyday, and that is good for India.
Sorry if it upsets you, but there - I have said what deserves to be said, and guess what? That's my right as an Indian citizen. You may disagree with me and sing the praises of thakerey or any other thug - but you cant take away my freedom to say what comes to my mind.
also she carried on n said ''why this bandh'' which this guy didnt bother to mention.
Also she is a Muslim too her name is Shaheen according to Geo news
Under Indian law, it doesn't matter if she is a muslim or hindu or Shinto. She has the same rights and freedoms as anybody else. This arrest was a violation of basic rights, and the policemen who did it are under investigation. Thousands of people have offered to pay for her bail, and for all her legal expenses. And the charges against her will be dropped, wont hold water in any court of law in India.
And by the way, the other girl who was arrested was a hindu, if it matters to you. It doesn't matter at all under Indian law.
