Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit's apology for a cheek-patting gesture that many found offensive has been accepted by a woman journalist, but with a disclaimer. Journalist Lakshmi Subramanian‏ had written to Mr Purohit conveying her anger at his gesture after she asked a question during his press conference on Tuesday evening. In response, the 78-year-old governor offered his apology, but with a bizarre justification - that too, not long after distancing himself from a sex-for-degrees scandal at a college. Tonight on Livestream we ask, how long does it have to be before enough is enough? India says no more casual sexism.
