Here's my response from an earlier post:
So what's new?
We all know about these so called awards. There is total and systemic discrimination against Sanaya. We know that.
However, with all her colleagues singing her praises, they can hardly ignore that, since it would bring into stark reality, the truth of the awards - which have been prejudged by men. Indian men. Who have a personal, vested interest in keeping Indian women subdued and as second class citizens. If this is the current mentality of the Indians, who tolerate this behavior of women, then this is good for them. Because what is tolerated, soon becomes acceptable. This is their mindset.
And as you may have realized, (especially, in this forum and by the treatment given to Sanaya by some so called "fans") there are more than 95% of suppressed Indian women and 97% of Indian men who also have this same kind of mentality.
I'm not really surprised at all, that Sanaya is not even nominated as best actress, in spite of high demand. Sanaya is a global phenomenon, (none of the others can claim this!) who has come on her own despite the blatant discrimination shown to her by an industry controlled by men. An industry rife with corruption and nepotism.
