Anita Ratnam
Contemporary dancer
Totally reprehensible. Even today, if women cannot feel free, then I am afraid fascist forces are gaining ground. In the name of the ideal Indian woman, men like to see us enslaved and psychologically shackled. I am currently attending a dance festival in Toronto, so when I read about the Mangalore incident on the Internet, I wondered about a woman’s place in our society. If we cannot walk without fear, laugh honestly and enjoy our freedom in our own country, then what are we celebrating 60 years of Independence for? What are we so smug about? What is the hope I give my daughter and all the daughters of this country? Through art and life, I continually endeavour to combat feminine stereotypes. But at times like this, I feel helpless. This is certainly not an ‘India Shining’ moment.
