Cetan Bhagat's One Indian Girl : व्योमेश चित्रवंश की डायरी, 6नवंबर2016,रविवार

Just completed Chetan's new nowel ONE INDIAN GIRL. No doubt it is a good plot, the story is interesting and based on indian middle class society who dreams a lot for her new generation. They invest thier money their time, thier dedication for success of thier children, but they do not success to seed the social indian traditional and family values in thier children, about which once India was famous. The story of One Indian Girl reveales those differences which are created a major gap berween money and moral, values and modness, Now a days it is so called faminism, this what Bhagat wants Indian women to do as well? To agree with him, to accept his definition of feminism and hail him as ‘progressive’ just because he has ‘represented’ a female voice and talked about women’s issues (from his very male perspective). But here’s the problem: Bhagat is telling an entire generation of Indian readers that a woman who’s successful still cares the most about male validation; that for her, professional success and marital bliss are still mutually exclusive; that she can feel beautiful only by comparing herself to other women. Oh, and most importantly, that ‘feminism’ should be renamed ‘humanism’.
          Well, we still can’t ignore that Bhagat is one of India’s highest-selling novelists and has tremendous influence. And now, due to “One Indian Girl”, countless readers will be exposed to this thoroughly warped version of feminism and will go along with it. In a country like India, where rape culture, the gender pay gap, moral policing, fat-shaming and various other kinds of oppression is rampant in the most horrific of ways, we need feminism more than anything else, and this One Indian Mansplainer is making things worse by painting it in the most dangerous light.
     One thing more, what I feels that chetan is now becoming the fully businessman, for the better selling of the novel, Chetan followed some cheap tactices those were not necessary for the story. Like page number 57 ( which became the issue for twitter also) was a cheapest and sadakchhap masala part which might be presented as symbolic and simple way but it creates a mastram   looks which should be condemed.
       But all through this is good intersting and complete matrimonial family drama.
