Its been only three months. Three months since the day when I first lived my dream. My dream to take formal training (PGDMC) before becoming a journalist. Journalist under whose ambit comes anything and everything that I have ever loved.
After three months I wasn't the same person anymore.I changed. Changed for the better. My admiration and respect for the profession elevated. But this scenario was only until a few days back.The tables have turned. Tehelka has happened and I am angry as well as heartbroken. Though I was aware of the hardships that a woman journalist faced in a media organisation. But there was hope. A belief that things aren't that bad. And then how my deep slumber ended!!
The victim has been failed. Not only by her so called 'father-like' boss Tarun Tejpal but also Editor, Shoma Choudhary who unfortunately happens to be woman. I mean how can you even call an unconditional apology 'ethical' when there has been a sexual assault. Not once, but twice. Instead you comfort the victim by giving the culprit a sabbatical of 6 month! No inquiry, no penalization? More to this in my next post.
