Ans- Mentioned a Mercedes ka ad. A boy kissed a girl in the ad without her permission. So how this was an imposition and did not value women's rights which is being promoted by so many companies.
She seemed surprised. Mentioned how Mercedes is generally in the good books for everyone. Even I am surprised how they have put up such a campaign. And such a big company is promoting an ad that you do not stand by, I find that interesting.
Explained how this was a discussion in our classroom and the classroom was itself divided. Some felt it focussed on the expression of adventure and boldness that Mercedes stands for but some of us that in the modern era where we stand for equal rights, all this was not expected.
