This prompted a certain Ripper to comment: ‘The fact that Pinki made news for the gender controversy and not the Asian Games gold medal speaks more about India than anything else.’ Doctor at Large added: ‘I don’t think we are any better than the cops who mistreated Pinki Pramanik.

She is a woman until proved otherwise.’ And from Soumyadip: ‘Pinki should migrate to another country, one where humans are given their basic dignity.’
