Disappointing, bewildering & frankly so very unfair that the well documented role of my trailblazing mother, Prabha Dutt, who petitioned Supreme Court to interview child killers Billa Ranga before their hanging, is erased / presented as a fictional character in Black Warrant. Decades ago when there were hardly any women in journalism, this was path breaking, even risky . It is IMHO a disservice to all women who battle to break such barriers to not so much as acknowledge the real person and their act of chutzpah and courage, not even as a footnote, when other key characters in the story go by their actual names . Sharing just a few of zillion articles on how Prabha Dutt made history, a history that really should have been credited @NetflixIndia 🙏🏾💜 - proud of my mothers many acts of fierce professional passion and bravery and her role ( and that of other amazing women of her generation) in opening doors for women like us who came later .
