Yesterday, Smriti Irani created a wave across the country by her speech in parliament. Her speech went viral on all social media platforms.<\/a>\u00a0Among many other revelations and great points, she also pointed out something that made me very angry. She pointed out that JNU student union had termed Ma Durga as a fair skinned sex worker who honeymooned with Mahishasur, a dark skinned guy before killing him in his sleep.<\/p>\n

The statement reads, \u201cDurga Puja is the most controversial racial festival where a fair-skinned beautiful Goddess Durga is depicted brutally killing a dark-skinned native called Mahishasur. Mahishasur, a brave self-respecting leader tricked into marriage by Aryans. They hired a sex worker called Durga who enticed Mahishasur into marriage and killed him after 9 nights of honeymooning during sleep.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Smriti Irani exposing the same on video. The video starts at 30:52 where she starts beginning the revelation.<\/p>\n

NDTV Journalist Sunetra Choudhury tried to play down this insult by calling it alternative version of history. She was slammed on twitter for the same:<\/p>\n

@sunetrac<\/a> calling Durga a "sex worker" is alternative reading? By this standards Kamlesh Tiwari should be a professor at JNU.<\/p>\n
