The aftermath of the Delhi rape in moving bus, the searchlight is on women safety of women, in this society where women is still adored by many. Women was considered as a deity in many forms, even our nation was called as 'Mother India'. However in spite of all this, if beastly and brutal assaults on women is on the rise, then an introspection is surely needed.
After the report of assault on a 23-years-old para medical student in the nation's capital and subsequent to her death on account of beastly brutal attack of the perpetrators, warning bells rang across the country.
The remedial measures suggested are including special syllabus in schools, introducing prohibition and more. Nevertheless all this could have an impact only when the public like you and me have a pre-determined mindset to treat women in all characters with respect. Be it a co-commuter, colleague, sister, mother, friend or wife due respects and importance will only usher a prospective society.
Assault on women starts from being in womb, cases of female infanticide are mirrors to this pathetic state of affairs prevailing in the rural areas. Due to this situation the girl-boy ratio had dropped drastically in certain communities and that is alarming.
Be it the co-ed college or the street corner T-stall, women are subjected to slang comments even by educated gangs who meet their in the evenings. To what extent law and order can look into such things. As the victims never raise their voice against the miscreants, fearing worse fate. This is another pathetic issue that needs to be condemned.
One fact that most males need to realize that everybody is not for everybody, otherwise the society would turn into a jungle. In the sense being sensitive or possessive on the Eves without their acceptance is another reason for mass assaults on women.
And the last most important issue that adds fuels to this burning volcano is forcing them to do something that they do not like. Give them equal rights to live the way they want to be. There is a male chauvinist in all of us as a father, brother, guardian, teacher, or in any other form. Be it honour killings or uninterested weddings, all are equally bad. We fail to understand that they have a right of their own. However advising them does not fall under this but forcibly doing any such activity is as worse as the rapists did the other day.
On the other hand, as a family head or as an individual if we respect women, involved in all forms of our lives, at home then the whole outlook of the family will change. Take a step today towards respecting women from today not only at office, even at homes...see the society change in to a more civilized one! (Wishesh AarKay)
