In yet another case of harassment, albeit one that's equally horrifying, a mob of men went on a molestation spree in Bengaluru. From expressing one's anger to supporting men who had nothing to do with the case -- because #NotAllMen, you know? -- social media has been rife with discussions on the horrifying incident.
From politicians who offered unsolicited advise to women to actors who expressed their grievance, this incident has been on everyone's mind. Amid all the furore, Mallika Dua's Makeup Didi has come up with an unorthodox solution.
"Gents ko samajhna chahiye na ki hum dishes kaise banayenge unke liye phir?" (Gents should understand, otherwise how will we make dishes for them?) Because "Hum jaise dress up karten hain na, humari hi fault hoti hain." (The way we dress, it is our fault only.) In her trademark sarcastic style, Mallika Dua tells everyone what must be done in this case.
Her post reads:
We are always asking for it. Asking for it in Bangalore, asking for it in Delhi, in Shakti mills in super safe Mumbai. We are asking for it in bikinis and burqas alike. We are asking for it after marriage, before marriage, in buses, at concerts, clubs. I once asked for it at Dargarh Ajmer Sharif, true fucking story. I even asked for it once when I was 7 years old in the back of my own car. But now, with a help of makeupdidi, I have found a solution to all of this. Hopefully I'm not asking for it anymore. Aap bhi try kijiye ye looks zaroor. Gustakhi Maaf, Abu Azmi chacha. F**k you.
