We have talked about this before and we will continue to do so because we are no where close to finding a solution to this problem. Why can’t the law of this country take an effective step against the rapists? Why time and again the Indian women are reminded that they can never be safe on streets? Few months back all of us were talking about the 15 year-old who was raped in Delhi region and the police in the national country blamed the girl inviting the rapists.
Before we could completely forget about this outrageous and shocking incident the news channels were already buzzing with the Guwahati incident. Where do girls get raped by a 30 men mob and a media person records the incident? Most of the accused are still absconding, is this another case of cry out loud and then forget it?
These are the incidents that don’t make us feel proud to be Indians, no other country treats their women like this except maybe Saudi Arabia. Another astounding on the news was from a Uttar Pradesh village.The panchyat outlawed love marriages and cell-phones.It also banned women under 40 from going out unescorted, what kind of insane justice is this? I think the only way for women to be safe is to not be born here.Way to go Punjab and Haryana (Sarcasm) for having the highest female foeticide cases.
The new anthem for this country seems to be “No woman, no cry” which is disgusting. Instead of evolving as a strong nation we are going backwards, the Uttar Pradesh village incident is a clear prove. For how long can the women live in the fear of being molested and think a million before venturing out after 9pm?
Srishti, Hi.
you seriously need to consider changing your theme or font color. It’s not pleasing to eye. your work is not getting the platform you wanted to give it.
I appreciate the suggestion. Will try and see if some other theme works out better.
Sad situation and we are sitting letting it happen which is worst thing..
But as usual we will forget these in maybe a week but definitely when the next episode happens…
I echo your thoughts Srushti. It is very sad and despairing to hear of these news time and again. Women deserve the respect which is due in their case. I would actually suggest that women be provided proper self-defense techniques along with other initiatives. That ways women get to savor the joy of bashing the living daylights of such tormentors and they get to do it by themselves and not wait for justice to show up.
yeah that is good idea, that is what women should do to eve-teasers, hit them.
Completely agree with you. But I think this is true with us as a species and not just a nation. Man has always treated women as ‘second class’ citizens. I’d recommend watching ‘Desmond Morris’ The Human Sexes’
I will watch that movie and I guess you are right, women are treated even worse in the middle east.
