Carol Gracias: A woman with the heart of a lion

No doubt Carol is a tigress. Modeling is just like any other profession that demands respect for the hard work and discipline involved in it. There is absolutely no reason to conclude like many hypocritical flag-bearers of Indian culture that Carol bared herself intentionally on the ramp and, afterwards, faked tears for publicity. I think that those self-inducted ambassadors of Indian culture now need to grow up and break out of their narrow world of old stereotypes and myths. It is terribly unkind to accuse Carol of feigning innocence when she needs us by her side after this traumatic experience and to be praised for the courage and professionalism she displayed at that time. Remember, when the custom of Sati was practiced on the sacred soil of India, there was also a class of self-installed representatives of the Hindu society who thought that custom justified and Rammohan Ray had been threatened for life many a time for trying to abolish it.

I hope that you have understood that the pictures are arranged in the reverse order of occurrence.

P.S. Added to the picture is a bit of my original and creative brushwork which was not present when those pictures were first published in here. The curious readers are kindly directed to the accompanying comment space. Thanks!!
