Fellow Hyderabadis' here is a golden chance to be seen, heard and contribute your mite towards levelling the playing field for the hapless women folk of our motherland; a few well meaning folks are organising a debate on castration and other such related measures that can act as effective deterrents against the rape epidemic that seems to have afflicted the nation as a whole off late........
This debate, discussion and healthy exchange of ideas and thoughts is slated to be held at Peoples' Plaza, Necklace Road, Hyderabad from 1600 hrs or 4 pm onwards on Saturday 19, 2013 and is open to all those who want to share their thoughts on this and other related issues..........
Chemical castration and bobbitisation have certainly proved to be effective deterrents in America and other European countries and there is no earthly reason why they can't prove to be as effective in our very own backyard provided the political establishment accedes to the long overdue demand for the adoption and legitimisation of these seemingly contentious measures.........
India for long has been a land where the female form/mother goddess/ Shakti/ Durga/ Kali or any other name that you prefer to call her by has always been someone who has always been deified, respected and venerated, so why should things be any different now.........
The Vedas, Ramayana and other such repositories of ancient rituals and practices are replete with examples of women and men standing shoulder to shoulder and participating as equals in social, religious as well as economic activities, so why are we regressing instead of going forward now when we well and truly have entered the so called modern age............
Equality, emancipation, safety and security are not mere words, but the birthright of women who comprise 50% of our teeming population, so do come forward and contribute your mite towards making your mothers/ sisters/ female friends and others feel safe, secure and an integral part of a system that seems to take perverse pride in denying them their legitimate and deserved rights...........
