There aren't many things common between these two women of the Indian Subcontinent. Durga that is Durga Shakti Nagpal is an IAS officer in UP of India and Jiya is a cartoon character in first animated TV series "Burkha avenger" in Pakistan.
Durga Shakti tried fighting the sand mafia in UP by confiscating the sand trucks and slapping FIRs on persons involved. One of whom happened to be a wannabe MP.
Jiya is a mild school teacher in day and burkha clad super hero during night. She fights evil characters who are not witches or demons, but fundamentalists who stop girls from attending schools and corrupt politicians. Her weapons are not swords or magic wands, but pens and books.
OK, both are women fighting for justice. But in Burkha avenger Jiya wins against bad people. And Durga Shakthi was suspended with a charge that she demolished a religious building there by incited communal disharmony. (If inciting communal violence was an offense, what would happen to so many politicians in this country!)
Unmindful of the protests by IAS officers and opposition parties, UP government is not doing anything to withdraw suspension order.
If only real life heroes were praised and awarded like cartoon characters!
I do not want to put the pictures of either of our heroes because I do not want the ire of believers.
