If you were heading a market segment – English News – that is consumed by 0.4% of the total TV audience – 11% consume English content btw – then, logically, you will do everything possible to keep pissing off the bulk of your audience ie. men. won’t you ?
.But, obviously leading journalists don’t have a revenue responsibility …

It is also sad that Ms.Ghose has so many ugly men in her life.
50% of my life is filled with Indian men – family, friends, colleagues, students, clients, associates, employees, consultants – and they are some of the nicest, most wonderful people you can meet ….. not ugly at all …
maybe, she needs to start viewing the world with a new lens, instead of a news lens … there is beauty, decency and kindness everywhere …

Finally, absolutism – unless it is fondness for the vodka brand – is a bad idea and generalizations are worse … some one with her experience should know better …
Given that men are from Mars and women from Venus, and since I have never met an ugly woman (I don’t think one exists), it naturally follows that *all* men are ugly, and I accept that. But why pick on *Indian* men? Has Sagarika seen George Bush, Adolf Hitler or Justin Bieber?
there is a saying in tamil that translates as “for a woman character is beauty, and for a man work” or udyoga lakshanam …:)
ugliness is behavior and not looks –
if a man had made that comment on Indian women – we would have had his head on a platter by now surrounded by cherries and garnishing 🙂
Perhaps she momentarily forgot that she is married to an Indian man!
maybe that is the reason for her diatribe 🙂
Wonder what Rajdeep Sardesai (her husband) has to say about it 😀
I have two words to describe the ugly Indian male: Onion Masala.
Go Ms Ghose!
This post reminds me of the uninformed hordes that went after Shashi Tharoor for the ‘cattle class” remark.
well ms.ghose aint completely wrong.indian men are ugly.all indian men who beat up their wives nd commit othr crimes against women r ugly.
while all indian gentlemen who treat women with respect nd dignity are definetely heroes!
Enjoyed reading your blog.
Ugly comment from Ms.Ghose and the comment can even be called sexist.
When most of indian women are so beautiful how come Sagarika is so ugly? may be she is a men?
she is butt ugly herself, and yes , i have been to 5 countries till now, and women there are thousan times better looking than indian women , but men are maybe twicw better looking, so..do the calculation…
