Objectification of women, sexualising them, is very common in songs, and it always boils our blood to hear such derogatory lyrics. In an attempt to raise these issues, the Punjab State Women’s Commission has summoned two singers, Honey Singh and Karan Aujla, for using questionable lyrics against women, and has asked them to appear on August 11. While this move is very much appreciated, we also think they are a bit late to take this action! Read on to know more.

While it’s absolutely the need of the hour that we raise such questions, we also feel that it’s too late. There are way too many songs that have created a problematic and derogatory image of women, and the voice should be raised against each of them. Summoning these two singers only will never be the way to reach the core of this persistent problem.

However we hope for the best, and wait for the artists’ statement on the matter.
