I am not exaggerating when i say that a few years ago when i used the buses to go to college, it used to baffle me how there was always atleast one arsehole in the bus- grinding against women, pinching them. The first time it happened , i was too shocked to react , too ashamed as if it was somehow my fault . Later , i started stomping on their feet- that always worked!
Why do these guys act the way they do? Perhaps because they feel they can- a sense of entitlement to everything or everyone they fancy. Perhaps because they feel they can get away with it - maybe they feel women will be too timid to protest.
Btw Dahan is one of my favourite movies by Rituparno Ghosh - a fearless filmmaker.highly recommend this movie
