A sexist meme comparing Miss World Harnaaz Sandhu’s win to Olympic gold medallists Neeraj Chopra, Yogeshwar Dutt  and Ravi Dahiya has not gone down well with the netizens.

Lakshman, a twitter user, with the handle name @Rebel_notout, shared a misogynist meme that compared Harnaaz’s win to the Olympic gold medallists’ achievements.

He shared photos where Harnaaz Sandhu is wearing a swimsuit and Neeraj Chopra, Yogeshwar Dutt and Ravi Dahiya are standing on the podium attired in track suits.

He captioned it: “How boys think they can make their country proud – How Girls think they can make their country proud”.

This picture and the caption somewhere showed Harnaaz Sandhu in bad light for which Laksham was roasted ruthlessly online.

Both are making their country proud in own way and in their respective field.

And also, if u didnt know, when a woman wins the Miss Universe title, she has to fulfill some responsibilities which is good for the world! And women dont win these crowns for their beauty, they win for the knowledge they pour when they are asked on spot questions!
