Manel versus Panel: Needed more women’s voices

In the Bengali channels, the male panellists are articulate and witty; their bonhomie reflects their familiarity despite political differences in this cosy club of only male anelists. Women analysts or politicians feature rarely. Only on topics of violence against women; sometimes, women activists are vociferous. Such a discussion on rape can well have a mother of a girl or a working woman talking about the lack of safety infrastructure in both cities and villages. To keep matters real.
