Decline of Civil Discourse and Rise of Abuse
Anukrti Upadhyay, a writer, is worried about how people are using bad words and rude language more often in public.
She says this is happening in places like parliament, on social media, and even on the streets.
She explains that these bad words are often about women, sex, and caste, and they make people used to violence.
She also says that using bad words stops good discussions from happening.
She believes that bad words are ugly and don't show any real strength or emotion.
She strongly believes that we should stop using bad words to keep our conversations respectful and meaningful.
Public figures, including a home minister and a cabinet minister, have been using abusive language in public spaces.
Abusive language is often misogynistic, sexual, and caste-based, desensitizing people to violence.
The use of bad words stifles legitimate debate and turns discussions into verbal fights.
The author finds abusive language ugly and devoid of creativity or emotional depth.
The author firmly stands against the use of abusive language in public discourse.
