The atrocities in the workspace are an important matter in today’s context. Be it the allegations or truthful, scrupulous fact-checking is mandatory for balancing its work equilibrium and ensuring professional ethics. This can be made pragmatic with the new ‘Internal Committee’ or ‘I.C.’ suggested by the Malayalam film professionals based on the chapter in the ‘Hema Committee Report’ submitted to its government for the welfare of its film industry.
As made clear in the report, the primary aim of this novel formation is to ensure the safety of the women workers in or behind the spotlight. But can it motivate fellow industries to launch such an idea and is there a need for so?
The avow after the approval of the committee report has brought up an amalgam of truth and trap that could serve the industry to both extremities. However, if proper significance for such a sensitive substance is provided, then the results can be sharp and smooth. After the news about the Kerala film industry got rampant, women workers from industries like Tamil and Kannada raised their points related to what the report has spoken about which shows the relevance of enabling such an activity.
Also, the concept should be considered in all the other industries like Hindi and Telugu as they are so wide and hence difficult to recognize albeit there are fewer allegations recorded yet. In a nutshell, the situation is reminiscent of Aristotle’s thought that ‘to become a leader, we must first be a follower, and even after we have become a leader, we still need to follow those we serve’.
