Yes, I do. There is no "explosive fraction" in feminism. Never heard of
it. You may find characters in old books who you think are
feminists. But then, you are defining feminism for yourself.
I don't wish to discuss whether you are fully aware of feminism or not.
I would leave that to yourself.

No matter how much I write here, it will be inadequate to explain what
Chalam was saying, particularly if you did not read any of his works.
There had not been any writer like him in Telugu before him. I
personally believe that it would be better for
you to read a couple of his novels and then it would be useful to discuss
whether you like his characters or not etc.
