Media and Entertainment industries rocked by accusations against famous men and some people who are enjoying power.

India’s media and entertainment industries have been rocked by accusations of sexual misconduct against prominent men that activists are hailing as the belated arrival of the country’s #MeToo moment.

The year-old #MeToo movement has long failed to take root in India, but Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta's accusations of sexual harassment against veteran actor Nana Patekar appears to be emboldening women to speak out at last.

Here are the Indian celebs who have been accused as part of the #MeToo campaign in India.

The #MeToo movement’s impact in India has also been comparatively modest. In the United States, for instance, complaints about sexual harassment and assault have led to a prison sentence for Mr. Cosby, criminal charges against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and changes in both laws and corporate practices. The movement has also exposed deep social divisions, as evidenced by the battle over the Supreme Court nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh, whom Dr. Blasey accused of sexual assault when they were teenagers.

Women’s rights advocates said that for India, the events of the past week had been stunning, with the movement in the country gathering momentum.

“It’s almost like a wave has come,” said Vrinda Grover, a New Delhi lawyer and human rights activist who helped draft some of India’s laws on sexual harassment and child abuse. “Until now, we have seen consequences only on the women who complained. This time, the consequences are for those who have committed the misconduct.”

Sandhya Menon, a freelance writer who tweeted the first public complaints about Mr. Sreenivas and two other journalists on Friday, said her goal had been to improve men’s behavior and push employers to hold harassers accountable.
