KOLKATA: Reverberations of the verdict in the highly publicised defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were felt in Kolkata on Thursday with the student community debating whether this could impact the #Metoo movement on university campuses.
Political science PG student and activist at Presidency University Asif Abdullah argued that though the case was sensational, very little changed as a result of the trial.
"Compared to students affected directly by the 2016 #Metoo movement, when discussing the trial, people are aware the circumstances of the case, the power equation between those involved and the gender dynamics do not reflect that of common middle-class Indian students," he said.
