Should Kulwinder Kaur have slapped Kangana Ranaut?  At the press conference on stock market scam allegation, should Rahul Gandhi have said the reporter Mousumi was expressing the BJP's party line when she asked if the Opposition demands for JPCs to waste taxpayer money? Are these the relevant questions? Or do we need a different type of question?

Glee suffused social media in response to Kulwinder Kaurs’s slap, followed by sheepish propriety. There was confusion about the appropriateness of a person in uniform losing crossing a line. But, as a beautiful line I just read in a book review said: Every categorical declaration and moral certainty eventually winds up at war with the story of some real individual. Yaniki, it’s complicated.
