Only when we are able to look at & evaluate different thoughts/values without neccesarily accepting them will we be able to progress. Not sure why must we be so compelled to shoot down/troll a POV if not matching with our own. Continue trailblazing @ReallySwara ????

Next time you feel disheartened by people trolling you, remember, an army of trolls could not even dampen Swara's spirit. They are powerless. Not even an irritation. Laughable.

 I just don't understand what has happened to our society where we are not able to respect any opinion. Where are we headed? Why are we not able to have a healthy debate? A healthy conversation? Why have we forgotten our humanness? Why can't Swara have an opinion and why can't we respect it?

It's ironic that the multitude of voices that have been raised against @ReallySwara expressing her opinion had, for the large part, nothing to offer against the #KarniSena suppressing somebody's freedom of expression. Debate is healthy. Selective silence, not so much.

You have every right to disagree with someone’s point of view, just remember to keep it civil.  It’s not surprising to see the wrath @ReallySwara is being doled out for expressing her views. But one can hope the discourse will change. Stay brave @ReallySwara

It’s appalling how everyone has swooped down so cruelly on @ReallySwara ! Come on guys.. whichever side of the debate you’re on.. you cannot abuse her for expressing what she feels! She is a brave, independent voice. Respect that. Not many of her ilk left around here.
