Kangana Slams Torn American Jeans Culture: Actor Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday posted an "appreciation tweet" for "ancient women" on Twitter and shared how the "first female licensed doctors in their respective countries" from 1885 are the real "achievers" of the society, not those wearing "American jeans and rags".
The picture Ranaut shared is from the 19th century when each of these women went to the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania. These women doctors - one is from Japan, another from India, and the third from Syria - were photographed in 1885 when women in the US still could not vote.
Ranaut wrote, "Appreciation tweet for ancient women who not only represented their individuality but their entire civilisation, cultures and nations. Today if such achievers are to be clicked they will all wear torn American jeans n rags like blouses, representing nothing but American marketing." The trailblazing women can be seen wearing traditional clothes from their home countries.
While some praised Ranaut's view, several others slammed her for shaming western culture by pulling out her pictures, in which she can be seen wearing the clothes that she described as "torn American jeans n rags like blouses, representing nothing but American marketing." One person told her that she is the "most intelligent, well-informed, brave, fearless, patriotic" woman, while another said, "Hypocrisy unlimited....," sharing several pictures of her wearing Western attire.
The women in the photo are Anandibai Joshi (the first Indian female practitioner of western medicine), Keiko Okami (the first Japanese woman to get a degree in Western medicine from a Western university) and Sabat Islambouli (one of the first Kurdish female physicians from Syria), according to HuffPost.
