'sweeping under the carpet' figuratively means to 'ignore, keep a secret in an attempt to not deal with it' ...not be aware of it all. you have to be aware to 'sweep' it.

Because of late she has been constantly talking about India only. Though in this one she didn't.

People are "burned" (as you said) over comments on country and not over Freida.

Also IF ones reacting to her, doesn't imply influence in India. Indian print and television media which masses consume, doesn't even cover Freida news.

Therefore whether she speaks on an issue or not, it won't make any difference where it matters.

You think people are keeping it secret? 🤣

And are not dealing with it at all?😆

Sure!😉

people are burned because Frieda said what she did. The two are not separate in this case.

Well, you wouldn't know who she is impacting or not. I see plenty of discussion being initiated in the world press and mostly indians are involved in it. THATS what counts.

Before you laugh, try to read properly, the joke might be on you. What I gave you was the def of the idiom. The issues she discussed have largely, and i'm not saying she brought attention to the issue, have been largely ignore and not dealt with properly and swept under the carpet.. she has played a PART in bringing more awareness to it internationally. What that does is it puts pressure on the country at hand to make a change.

Countries have an image to uphold internationally, its not an unknown concept. The image DOES matter, especially for tourism.

And it wasn't just an 'unknown one film wonder' who brought attention, she got a lot of the HW bigwigs to join. google who they were and what they did.

and when incidents occur repeatedly, its safe to assume there's something wrong with the structure.

ASSUME.

That is the keyword here.

So you go by assumptions? In gauging situations of a country? That too as large as India?

Good.😉

Do you think India doesn't care about image and springs into action only when Hollywood saviors stand up?😆

India needs these people to bring attention to its own issues?

Ha!

BTW, there are so many incidents every other day about Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus attacked in the US or their religious places defiled. What should I assume about them?

Why don't they correct their basic structure? Aren't they bothered about image?

Country is already working on such issues.

It doesn't require so called international pressure and bytes from unknown one film wonder to tackle its issues.

How can you say the issues were "largely ignored" or not dealt with "properly"?

Don't think India acts only if a section of foreign media barks.
