Ethical dwarf - Asianage
Sir, Suhel Seth in his article Silliness is in fashion (April 3) forgot that we are living in an instant world. It is the world of instant food, instant drinks and instant success. The reverberations generated by a Fashion Week should not come as a surprise as the younger generation is all geared to catch the limelight. It was not long ago when one television channel was garnering votes for the retrial of Jessica Lal’s case to present it to the President; hardly 200,000 people voted. But another channel while airing a popular talent search contest got around five million votes. After all, in beauty pageants the contestants always claim Mother Teresa as their role model. Then they use these pageants as a launch pad for a lucrative career in films. We may have become a nuclear giant, but we have also become an ethical dwarf.
