I understand your point Hedwig trust me..I belonged to that school of thought few months back but I’ll tell where we go wrong in all of this.

In this whole situation you forgot to empathise with the thousand people who felt hurt(again who had no hands in the rape case and who are extremely sensitive towards their gods).You feel the need to defend the cartoonist and Vikrant but when someone reacts because they felt insulted seeing the cartoon you ask them to be kind towards the cartoonist.So you aren’t being kind the ones who got offended..otherwise you would have empathised with them too.

I can empathise with the people who were genuinely hurt and I am all for them making their voice hurt. What I cannot condone is the level of vitriol that is being displayed and the non stop attacks on someone. If they had simply called him out and let it go I would have understood. And for the people who did that, i have no problems with you. It’s the other kind, the ones who are hounding him relentlessly even after he apologised and wanting to ruin his career. That I cannot empathise with.
And when I say I am being kind to the cartoonist I mean that I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and understand that the “bhakts” were referring to the bhakts who were defending the kathit rapists in the name of religion. I still think it was a badly made cartoon and wholly unnecessary but I can try to understand the intent there. I don’t understand the intent behind harassing an actor over a mistake he made many years ago that he has acknowledged and apologised for. If you can demonstrate how doing that is being kind to people who were hurt I will support you.

You seem to be gleefully enjoying the mockery he is making of the religion on his tweets.

And why shouldn't anyone who isn't a hindu!

The cartoon was in really bad taste. There’s no justifying it, sorry. How old was Vikrant in 2018? Was he some chota bacha? And ya’ll are hella quick to give him “benefit of the doubt”. Sorry bola na usne? Arre galti maaf bhi kar do na? Yeh toh saalo puraani baat ho gayi na? How can you confidently say he actually doesn’t believe now what he believes then? Because he said so?No one has even named the cartoonist? We all saw what happened to a Salman Rushdie, fortunately for the artist Indians are much more tolerant and unlike Rushdie, he/she won’t end up being blind in one eye after being stabbed on stage.
