In my working life, I've had the bonus of being professionally associated with two extremely dynamic worlds: the news media and the arts.

In the art world, the #MeToo movement has been relatively slow to catch up. I’ve had arguments with some of my artist-friends about what I initially felt was the art world’s disappointing duplicity on the issue. Especially when there were explanations to the effect that the art world was extremely small and came with exceptionally high stakes.

I countered that the stakes in the union government or a Bollywood production or a media house were much higher. Of course, it is difficult to prove some of these allegations in a court of law, but that doesn’t take away from the trauma suffered. That being said, it's important to understand how the arts sector works.
