Swara Bhaskar Instagram – Posted @withregram • @cosmoindia “Social media should have connected us with more people, more cultures,” shares Swara Bhasker (@reallyswara ). “Instead, it has made us explore the most pathetic sides of our personalities, and turned us into bullies who take pleasure in abusing famous people. I feel that is the lowest way to explore technology. And the only way to deal with this, with a bully, is to call them out.” Cosmopolitan India’s 24th Anniversary Issue digital coverstar Swara Bhasker doesn’t speak up for the sake of engagement. Her points of view and perspectives come from an earnest passion and ardent desire for change. Drama (and rape threats!) follows often, but Swara states that she was raised to ask questions…and to be fearless. “I see myself as a loudspeaker for other people’s causes,” she says, “I believe activism is a good thing and it’s good to care about things other than your own life.” To read Swara’s inspiring interview, download your free copy of our issue dedicated to raising your voice about the matters by: Step 1: Head to the Link In Bio on the Cosmo India handle.
