There are many real life Durgas around us...we simply need to have the eyes to recognize them....two of them have conquered the world at Rio Olympics 2016
No one is forgetting Kidambi, Bindra or the hundreds of thousands of unnoticed Bindras or Kidambis we pass by every day without sparing a thought for them...it is only a reaction to that picture which reveals that the goddess is present in human beings too and is a criticism of our society which tends to idolize goddesses but treats females as chattel...it is you who are getting biased, if not prickly
When I wrote the sentence I meant the mainstream media, not you @thebeautifulgame Of course I am mature enough to understand that your statement was in relation to the image only.
Sorry for my gaffe...the media, the politicians, even the village mukhias of Sakshi's village who are now fulsome in her praise and who had perhaps once questioned a girl's entry into a supposedly 'man's terrain' are hypocrites...everyone wants to cash in on the glory of these young achievers now that have got the medals...wait for a few days to pass and all of them would be relegated to the background while all of us would be busy with our cushy jobs and the stifling cocoon of our families
