Weren't you the one making Rape jokes on Twitter? After the significant amount of twitter-bashing, you have suddenly opened your eyes yourself? Worried that you will lose those few fans of yours? You have always been a misogynistic, and stop pretending otherwise to "look cool". Self-obsessed, pretentious loser. Your books still suck.

The film also shows us the need for India to integrate with the Western world. When are we going to do that? We are so lost in our caste and religion politics, so close-minded about anything foreign, so caught up in the duties society imposes on us, so pressurized to get marks and land a job that we don't live as free and full as humans can. When did you hear of Indian students taking gap years after college to explore the world? How will we react if a girl says she wants to try out a few relationships before she settles down? In the name of preserving morals, we want to tie our women up. What has that led to? Where are there more rapes? Here in don't-date, don't-drink, don't-wear-modern-clothes India; not in Europe, where dating is a personal choice, alcohol is available at every corner-store and people are free to wear swimsuits on beaches.

My inner queen says Ah f**k it.

I would like this post a lot more if Chetan Bhagat was a good author and actually created good female characters. I really appreciate his efforts in feminism, I really do. I think he has encouraged many youth to change their attitude towards women. But he never resonates personally with me as a feminist. Perhaps because his books still have poorly developed female characters who have bad sex with mediocre men. Seriously though, feminism is not merely about the freedom to work and have pre-marital sex. Women still need personalities you know? How about your female characters, develop some character.
