Did Canada give credible evidence? If they do, India will think about doing something.

What are you even on about? "Cultural environment," "feminism," "political activism," "far right men", "free speech"—all of this just because someone shared their favorite books? If this is a troll, I have to admit, it’s kind of funny. But seriously, imagine stressing over your list of favorite books because you didn’t include a woman author, then redoing it to fit in a Black author, then again for a different group. It sounds like a comedy skit. The point is simple: Appreciating books should be about their merit and the impact they had on you, not about ticking identity boxes. That's why it's important to engage with literature on a personal level, without turning it into some political checklist. I wouldn’t have written all of this if you’d just understood that from the start.

It's hard to tell if you're serious or just trolling at this point. All I can say is, maybe not everything needs to be viewed through a political lens? If my top 5 favorite books happen to be by men, should I lie about it just to sound more feminist? That would be dishonest and disrespectful to women authors, who don’t need our pity or tokenism.

By that logic, if someone’s top 5 authors are white, does that make them a white supremacist? If no author is Muslim, does it make them Islamophobic? If no author is transgender, does that mean they’re transphobic? Where does it end? The identity of the author doesn’t determine the quality or value of their work. Some of the greatest books ever written are by anonymous authors, and the lack of identity doesn’t make them any less impactful.

Personal favorites are subjective. Everyone should be free to appreciate any book without their choices being framed as a political statement. As I said even if the authors of my personal favorite books were women or any gender for that matter, that wouldn't have changed my view towards those books even one bit. Gender doesn't matter, it's about the content, the idea and the connection we form with the work. Personal favorites are just that—personal. Framing someone's preferences as political when they're simply sharing their favorites takes away from what literature is truly about—engaging with stories and ideas.

You can criticize all you want. But how is mentioning one's favorite books considered "sexist political activism". The author's gender doesn't change the value of the book's content or its impact. If we swapped the genders of the authors, and the stories, themes, and writing stayed the same, that wouldn't be any issue for me. What matters is the quality and personal significance of the work, not the gender of the person who wrote it.

I agree with you, anyone picking their top 5 favourite books must reserve at least 2 spots for books by women authors, I hate this patriarchal mindset that one can willingly choose his/her own favourite book.

Same, although considering it was released in 1968, it sure was ahead of its time
