POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In India, the Me Too movement is picking up. Many of the predators have been named and shamed, with exact details of incidents, dates, venues and so on.Unlike in US where the predators have mostly said 'sorry' and moving on, most of the perverts have chosen to defy and filed defamation cases against the women victims. it is really laughable, as the moral turpitude of the attackers have been fairly well known in India for 2-3 decades! It is fairly clear that the careers of these predators-film stars, film directors, journalists, editors, political leaders..who have been exposed, has more or less ignominiously ended!
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Valsa George 12 November 2018

We have never the culture to say 'sorry' for our mistakes or say 'thank you' to our benefactors unlike the Westerners. Many things we have to learn from them! When a genuine accusation is raised, we are always on the defensive! This poem demands a serious introspection!
