This thread has been under attack in the last few days... but on behalf of all the admirers, I thank
Sweta ji for her efforts to keep the appreciation thread free from malicious posts.
The previous question for debate and discussion was about racial discrimination, and I am pleased to inform all the admirers that
Sunandshine ji and
Bunny ji were so motivated to put an end to it that they prepared a letter detailing the objectionable treatment meted out to Claudia and tirelessly inundated the the ministry of information and broadcasting, and the channel with it. Bunny ji, being the consummate lawyer that he is, also went through a largely rhetorical letter that
I had written to the ministry officials, and offered valuable moral support to novices like Sunandshine and me...
I can't claim that this made any difference... but it seems to me that Claudia hasn't been called a
gori, firangi, etc. for some time... (I haven't watched the show for the last 4 days now, but it seems like the poor treatment meted out to her is at least not being televised anymore.)
The previous question is now closed... Picking up a cue from what
rainbowwarrior has posted recently, the next
topic for debate and discussion will be regarding Claudia's Hindi.
Do you think that she understands Hindi?
Is it fair to enforce the Hindi rule? Can she be expected to learn the language so quickly?
Do you think that she has made any progress at all over the week?
