Anti-women rockstar

IN Media Watch Briefs | 01/09/2014

Public memory is indeed short. Soon after the Delhi gangrape case, there was a legitimate hue and cry about the Yo Yo Honey Singh whose lyrics were shown to be extremely vulgar and sexist. His rock show in Delhi was cancelled that December thanks to the protests. But in August-September 2014 Yo Yo Honey Singh is back on TV channels. They are broadcasting promos of the new DVD he has made with Bollywood heroine Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha. The 'India Today Mind Rocks' youth summit on September 6 in Delhi will feature him. His sexism is forgotten.
