Okay..A big apology to my readers on the face and I know I most absolutely cannot be excused for abandoning my blog!!!! But then,this is just one of the few things I have almost been asked to forego to get my life on the track that I want it to be. But hey!!! That's not quite possible because I keep coming back to writing simply because its my passion,something I am madly in love with, like my own personalised therapy and that too,free of cost!! Anyway,that's not the point here.. I am back on the bandwagon coz I wish to make a point here. Is it a crime be born a woman in India???
Now,don't get me wrong. I am a proud Indian myself and I love my country and my fellow citizens,but there are times when my head bows in shame...and I am not afraid to say it!!! In fact right now, I am so angry I am bubbling over with rage and my mind is not in a condition to concentrate on my usual routine!!!! And I simply have to get it out of my head. The issue I am ranting about here is the very recent rape case in our national capital DELHI!! The poor girl and her friend were brutally assaulted with rods after being taken in into a private bus at night after having come out of the cinema and it was only after 9pm and not at 12am like some of our politicians imagine is 'too late for a girl to be out with a boy'!! Just about the time most people in the city and else where in the country get home after a hard day's work or students who go for evening classes return home!! Filthy Hypocrites ! The twenty three year old was subjected to the cruel minded game called gang rape by some horrifying monsters who relished and ravished her as they were consumed with lust!! And that did nothing to satisfy their dastard and cowardly mind apparently !! One of the goons pushed a metal rod through her permanently damaging her vagina,uterus and large intestine!! Now how can someone with a conscience do something so wicked??? Have MEN in our land become so fickle minded and cruel?? Its absolutely clear that these men were not afraid to commit such a heinous crime and they had no one to fear. They felt they are answerable to no one and had no regard or respect for the law of the land or for humanity. And is this not happening because the police an the judiciary often let go rape criminals very easily and without proper investigations?? Also,there is the question of political backing which contribute a large extent in saving these human faced monsters.. Funny how raping on the streets of Delhi is allowed without even as much batting an eyelid but police enforce curfew and forcefully move away protesters!! Right! RAPE IS ALLOWED BUT NO PROTESTS!!! And this is why I said my head is bowed with shame..
Ours is a country where women are worshipped , seen as Goddess and mother.. But unfortunately some people don't seem to recognise the need to respect women and see their true potential . For many men, women are just playthings,like dolls or objects to satisfy their lust, to be momentarily used and thrown away..there is no regard or respect for human life which is very sad because this is becoming an increasing phenomenon not only in the the capital but else where too..Hasn't the time come for society to teach their young men how women should be treated with love and care?? This should be taught at home from their very childhood when children start maturing.. Girls should be respected and educated in families so that their siblings can see them as what they truly are and not as some discarded objects. The mind-frame in men that women are just objects who cook,clean ,do the laundry and provide easy sexual gratification stems from the attitude that are adopted in families towards their women.. So its a collective responsibility of every individual in our country to change the system and then and only then can our land be made safe for its daughters and mothers.
It is with great sadness that I write this and my heart goes out to her and her family and her friend who was assaulted along with her. The girl is one plucky fighter,says she wants to live!! God be praised for that!! I hope she has the mental strength to fight and recover against all odds and hope her family supports her and cares for her both physically and emotionally. We have to stop such events from happening and strict laws and fast track courts should be implemented at the earliest possible date. Lets just hope our country becomes a safer place for its women and all its citizens soon. I sure hope to see strict laws and stricter and swift action coming into place. Because in the family ,the men may be the decision makers,but the women constitute its heart. Lets hope for a safer tomorrow :)
