<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before I express my views, let me first make it clear that I'm not an AAP supporter. I try to look at things from an unbiased perspective.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lets be honest, we all laughed when <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/former-aap-member-tina-sharma-slapping-party-spokesman-live-on-tv/1/344752.html" target="_blank">Teena Sharma slapped Ajaz Khan in a debate on India News</a>. It was amusing to see two members of the same party stooping to a new low on a national news channel. BUT, was that the real reason for the chuckles? No, don't answer the question yet. Let us use our imagination and reverse the roles of Teena sharma and Ajaz Khan. This is how the scene would proceed -</span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From the initial conversation we assume that Teena Sharma was answering a question and Ajaz Khan interrupted her. </span></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnm7cGdFV19lTMEmURfys6Dop48T91ri7D9FPPGPAvm_aABK3Ux-Xow1JoRPu6okeU4LB8Huna861s2pwJaP_U4jUreieEKO_0oqQ0ThaOJu2T5awQBSi4_hQtu2lXWajR3OHEb1gWXNI/s1600/Tina+Sharma+slaps+Ajaz+Khan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnm7cGdFV19lTMEmURfys6Dop48T91ri7D9FPPGPAvm_aABK3Ux-Xow1JoRPu6okeU4LB8Huna861s2pwJaP_U4jUreieEKO_0oqQ0ThaOJu2T5awQBSi4_hQtu2lXWajR3OHEb1gWXNI/s1600/Tina+Sharma+slaps+Ajaz+Khan.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Teena Sharma : आप मुझे बोलने देंगे या बीच में रोना रोयेंगे के...(will you let me speak or keep crying about...)</span> </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ajaz Khan : SHUT UP!</span> </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Teena Sharma : (ऊंची आवाज़ में )आप तमीज़ से बात कीजिये, आप बदतमीज़ी कर रहे हैं। </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(In raised voice, almost screaming) behave yourself, you are misbehaving. </span> </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The News/Debate Anchor intervenes, apologises to Ajaz Khan for the misbehavior and demands the same from Teena Sharma. Teena Sharma calms herself down and tries to duck the situation by denying any misbehavior.</span> </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Suddenly, <b>Ajaz Khan slaps Teena Sharma</b>, on camera!</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Outrageous, Right?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Is this scene still amusing?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Will you still laugh after the roles were reversed?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now, let us come back to the original question. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What was the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">real reason for the chuckles?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- A MAN getting SLAPPED by a WOMAN in public.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's funny. Isn't it?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The reverse would be outrageous, but this was funny. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The host demanded an apology from Ajaz Khan for raising his voice, but why was Teena Sharma spared the same when she slapped him?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For a raised voice, shouldn't Teena Sharma, or for that matter anyone else, reply verbally? </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Had it been Ajaz Khan to slap Teena Sharma, the man would have found himself behind bars. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wonder what action will now be taken against Teena Sharma. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nothing and nothing at all justifies physical abuse, regardless the gender of the victim.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sadly, our society identifies only Women as victims of violence and abuse. If a Man complains about physical/mental abuse by a woman, he isn't man enough, and hence shall be laughed upon. Right?</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lIbOVx72_us?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></div><br /></div>
