Many
of my friends who call themselves feminist are going crazy over the
chai wala picture and sharing the pictures like crazy. There is a huge
problem with this. How many people have his consent to do this? EVEN THE
PHOTOGRAPHER DID NOT TAKE HIS CONSENT TO TAKE HIS PICTURE OR SHARE IT!!
Why is the media outside his chai khana with their camera and all and
are making his videos, trying to dig into his personal life and what
not? Consider a girl being treated like that, and we would have gone
crazy that a poor girl is being objectified. It is not just about
gender, it is also because of the class difference. Just because he is a
*Chai wala*, you can do whatever the fudge you want with him and his
picture? If he was a rich business owner and a hot guy, would people be
approaching him and using him in all their social media? Probably not.
Also, thinking that he is a guy and objectifying him is okay further
suppresses women and ideas of gender equality. Feminism is not biased,
it is about all genders and it is about humans. I think, we as a nation
and specially the media is violating all his basic consent rights for
their fame. He is not in your zoo that you can do all this. Girls and
guys, please hold it and respect him and his body just like you want
yours to be respected.
PS: I have been viral several times for good cause, and the fame is really fun but the insecurity which comes with it is also very hard to deal with.
Thank you if you read this far.
Here is a video where you can get an idea of how uncomfortable he is.
