Every time I read on newspapers or watch in news, I get
annoyed to see these increased number of molestation cases happening in India.
It had become a daily routine like to have such kind of news with our
breakfast. Each time I make my mindset that my country is changing, my trust
brakes down on watching such assaulting cases. This year (2017) has also
started in the same manner showing that next year has arrived but the
conditions of these mis-happenings are the same. Changing of a week/ a month or
a year doesn’t impart any marked effect on these kind of incidents.
Recently two separate incidents on New Year eve in same
city, Bangalore makes me restless. I feel that does really westernization is
solely responsible for such misbehavior? And above all the ridiculous statements from various persons instructing women about what to wear and what
not are very much irritating. Official data shows the number of crimes against in thousands, these are the cases that are recorded in FIR's, but what about those who are suppressed with help of money or power. These incidents are not very new to the country.
Women have been assaulted since ages. Over the ages they have to pass through
the same set of situations be it modern world or past irrespective of their
community or religion. Each day we get at least two to three news about female
molestation or even rape across the country.
As
a women, me too think sometime that is it my fault that I am a girl? Why am I
stared when I walk in streets? Why suddenly some boys or even men
start passing comments and singing songs? There are several such questions for
which every girl wants an answer. I have seen many persons who respect women but whats wrong with the people who are indulged in crimes against females. In a society like India not every girl wears
western outfits but apart from this they are being assaulted. The reason is not the cloths but the thinking of some people.
It is high time for women to rise up again such crimes against her. No law can protect her than herself. she need to be bold and capable of protecting herself. As there no Lord Krishna in today's time to save every Draupadi. Today's women must be able to protect herself from beasts. I strongly recommend parents to make their daughters bold since birth. They must be taught that they are not weak and less than males in any domain. Self defense techniques must be taught since their childhood. Only then this problem will be solved. Here I want to write few lines:
No one has given you the right,
to touch me without my consent,
to stare me when I walk,....
No one has given you the right,
to decide what I wear,
allow me to live in a world,
where I can live without fear....
