Just as I was relieved with the judgment of the Delhi Rape case,the TV screens in the canteen flash off the Rape of a 31 year old woman who is a mother of a 6 year old brutally molested,mutilated and killed.There just isnt a single day in the newspapers that is free of sexual harassments. The number of cases only have doubled from 2012 in India.And every girl who independently steps out of her house to earn a living or to study to build a career of her dreams continues to live in Fear.And so does her family who have managed to bring her into this world and have shown her to dream just like any other boy in the country would.
I was so shattered and scared by the Delhi Incident that I stopped taking the private bus from Silk board which is en route my way home from office.I just dont take them anymore and may be are the other woman equally scared who only prefer the BMTC(The Bangalore's Metropolitan Transport Corporation) waiting only for it.And now today's case of brutality was in an auto...So do we all now stop taking autos as well??? What will a Regular Employee like me who is an ameteur with her 4 wheeler driving and works far off to commute with a two wheeler do in a Metro city if not for an auto to cover petty distances or late night accessibility???Its just not a simple problem of transportation or Logistics ...Its a problem of fear,uncertainity and Insecurity that haunts us woman because of such brutal ruthless incidents.And where does this brutality come from??4-6 people pouncing on a single human body like rare wolves is not fun !!!Its heights of Insanity,Immorality and Inhumanity.And to add on, they get the audacity to take away lives of women in split seconds.It builds in a sense of doubt in a woman to trust any person -Good or Bad at that late hour.A stranger means an alarm !!!We talk on a regular basis about how safe is India or how safe women of India are...But do we really care about making India safer unless its a sister,mother or daughter or friend that is in trouble...No we dont.
I read in the newspaper that women with software tags are more prone to incidents like these because the so called "software Culture" allows unethical treatment and I was taken aback.Do we all see such allowable candidates in our house or workplace?I am sure a majority of women from today's generation hold these tags.It doesnt make them prone.It only shows that they have the caliber and intellect to raise their head high and work equally hard (as men) towards their goals.Its a fact to be proud of and not to be scared.But the recent incidents unfortunately reverse this situation.
Little Flowers of ages 12 onwards or even less are subjects to such hideous crimes on a very regular basis and I see no end to this....And those bastards are everywhere around leading normal lives as if they are just not guilty.
As much as I hate the foul verbatim and keep advicing my friends and younger cousins at home against usage of such words,I now feel may be I should have got trained with those "Gaalis" specially to address such people.And the sad part is that we women are finger pointed after all this - be it the way we dress or the way we address.Coming from conservative telugu Brahmin family,I always went and came back from college with a salwar and a 3 pin dupatta and head always bent down.But that never got me rid of the eve teasers in the small town that I studied and the stories of my sister who studied in a metro are even worse.So where does the logic that the girl or her behavior provocate such demons apply??Or will a 10 or a 12 year old innocent girl understand what is provocating??Its a mere character assassination of the girl (jus as in Aarushi's case)done so as to protect the guilty due to reasons of power,money or politics.Ironically Tehelka.com came up with the below 5 reasons why women in India arent safe!!(Well...may be firstly Tehelka should stop hiring people like Tarun Tejpal to start with)

The crime based shows boost their TRPs with more and more of real and fictional content and the journalists talk hours together about criminals and their acts of sin become cover stories atleast for a week minimum but the focal point of CRIME is not talked about.The cover story creates a lot of hype,curiosity and after a while...its simply forgotten.Its only and only the loss of the victim and their Family and friends but who cares??We have all such busy lives to lead and are very busy to become more and more self centered.In a generation where an app has more popularity than a human life at stake,why even bother!!!!
The more this insensitivity and indifference towards such incidents by the Indian public,the higher will be the crime rate and there will soon be a day where the ratio of women to men would be so less like in the film Matrubhumi(The tag line says-A Nation without Women) where Tulip Joshi gets married to five men.And what do we do with such a nation that has no prosperity,no growth or no Virtue!!!I just put in a sneak peak of the movie here.Its an old one and I am sure youtube has parts of the movie.

Its a very strange thing that a woman who is constantly a part of a man's life in her various roles as a mother,sister,teacher,friend,wife,daughter is deprived of the respect she deserves from the society.Forget about Respect,she isnt even treated a human just a mere toy!!! As much as I respect the men who sensitize with us and React on such incidents,it is to those that dont, that I would like to say - We are no toys ,We are just as much beautiful creatures of God born with equal abilities,virtues and capabilities.And so we deserve to grow,Work towards our goals,passions,we deserve to be happy to create happy families that will foster a happy world.We Deserve to be safe....We Deserve to LIVE ....Happily ever after !!!!
