Lakshmi Subramanian of The Week who had to suffer the misogyny of a cheek-pat from the Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit dismissed the Governor's defence of his action saying that she was like his granddaughter. In an interview to Sam Daniel of NDTV she explained her views clearly : "The Governor is a Constitutional Head and I am a journalist - this grandfather, granddaughter thing does not work." Are elected politicians and residents of Raj Bhavans listening ?
