Ghosh says the India’s Daughter case was one where you had people both from the Left and the Right whipping up hysteria with the help of the “foreign” card. “The Right insisted that it was the West which was out to defame India. In other words, something diabolical must have been at play when/why this film was made. Those from the Left, usually better with their use of words, argued that Udwin’s film was racist. Since she saw the issue through a racist prism, her perception of the issue was skewed.” In the first case, the motive was “sinister”. In the second case, the perception was “suspect”.
