Indian women do Rs 10 times the unpaid work that Indian men do – abt the worst ratio in the world
Harshji, since your ‘jokes’ usually skew only one way in terms of gender, should balance a bit, no?

This is problematic on so many counts, but not surprising, coming from someone who made fun of the poor!
I’m going to judge everyone who retweets or engages with this jerk Harsh Goenka from now on !
