And Just Like That, Indians outrage over white woman calling lehenga a sari — after years of stereotyping her onscreen
FirstpostDevil’s Advocate is a rolling column that sees the world differently and argues for unpopular opinions of the day. How dare she, is obviously the gist of the outrage on our shores where people, even liberals, perhaps have declared anyone’s fragmented knowledge of India and its myriad, exhaustingly diverse palette, a crime. White-skinned women have had it even worse, cast as titillating props that either clung to our heroes for dear life or danced alongside them – mostly with Akshay Kumar – semi-nude. Sex and the City’s portrayal of Indian culture may be misinformed and half-baked but it surely does not deserve the banishment of India’s outrage machinery. Moreover, if we ourselves have not atoned for the sins of so many years – one role for the white guy in Aarya will not do it – let us introspect instead about getting better at what we also believe should be an acceptable standard.
