Shreya’s column for newspapers in September is about the politics of apologies and the logistics of REVENGE!
One reader from the US had this to say about it: “”I really enjoyed her piece. She captured a dynamic that is very much related to the United States non-apology, non-reparations for slavery and for Native decimation. And her conclusion was beautifully bloodless. Wrestling with the past and not getting dragged down yourself in a victim-spiral is not easy. She seems to have her head on straight and now she can continue to get her peaceful revenge!”
Another one from India stated, “Extraordinary article! Monte Cristo has been my inspiration for as long as I can remember: I actually consider it the bible for the wronged, the finest revenge manual ever written. I am entirely with you, there’s nothing quite like revenge, the getting even in a soul-satisfying way. All this ‘sorry’ nonsense, and forgiveness bla is for wimps.”
