What people are saying
Protection is needed from the Brahmanical system itself... Brahmin women are unsafe, they get raped. Priests commit rape inside temples.
She is insulting priests with her poisonous thoughts.
This selective outrage is dangerous.
Congress must introspect if it wants to project someone like her, who stokes 'division', as a face of its protests.
