The Foul Glory of Notoriety Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's acquittal on charges of sexual harassment has turned him into a household name, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
While some might argue that notoriety comes with a price, it's difficult to shake off the feeling that this particular brand of infamy carries a heavy moral cost.
Singh's comment that the women who accused him "made me famous" is telling, not just because of its flippant tone, but also because it speaks to a broader societal issue: our willingness to elevate individuals who court controversy and outrage over those who quietly do good work in their respective fields.
