Continuing with it's avowed commitment to be the change that we all want to see on the ground, Hyderabad for Change' envisages to start a slew of programmes and events like day long seminars, street plays, debates, discussions, forums, panel discussions with specialists in various disciplines and so on and so forth all devoted to the burning issue/cause of the safety and security of the Indian woman........
This multi pronged approach will get off the ground in a humble manner with a series of debates and discussions slated to be held in various autonomous colleges over the next month or so and such other educational institutions where the students themselves will propose, carry and take the topic under discussion to it's logical conclusion, the steering committee of the Hyderabad for Change' initiative will only play the role of facilitators and initial talks with the principals of three colleges have already been initiated........
The steering/committee/managing committee of the Hyderabad for Change' initiative would also like to take this opportunity of inviting amateur theatre groups on board; these theatre groups can come on board and make the requisite arrangements needed to stage ten to minute long skits or short plays on any women's related issue that catches their fancy; while it may not be able to pay these groups huge sums of money as the initiative has no financial backing whatsoever as of now, we promise that these groups will be wined and dined to the best of our ability........
Well meaning professionals in various disciplines like behavioural sciences, laws pertaining specifically to crimes against women, safeguards for a woman within both her workplace and home environment, constitutional guarantees provided to women and such other related subjects are more than welcome to come on board and express their interest in making such presentations in an interesting, informative and user friendly format in the shortest time frame possible so that the venue and timings of such impromptu dialogue sessions could be scheduled in the near future........
People with a sensible, pragmatic as well as seemingly unique and original points of view on women related issues may condescend to post the same forthwith on the Hyderabad for Change' community page on facebook, all such posts will be carried with their own bylines and duly acknowledged by a member/members of the steering committee.........
Friends, fellows and fellow Hyderabadis, the struggle to guarantee the Indian woman her rightful place under the sun and existing patriarchal social structure will be anything but a walk in the park, the same is bound to be long drawn, arduous, thankless, seemingly fruitless, totally thankless and is definitely bound to ruffle more than a few feathers in the bargain.........
The latent fear of unpleasant consequences is however not going to deter us from waging this titanic struggle and beginning the process of making a difference where it is most required, so do shed your inhibitions, reluctance and reticence, come forward, step on board and be an integral part of history in the making.........
Our government, bureaucracy, armed forces, men in khakhi and other such forces with vested interests have already begun discrediting this movement and safeguarding their very own narrow and selfish interests, while male chauvinists and supremacists have even more stridently voicing their now common refrain about amendments to the laws pertaining to women's safety and security related issues being misused to their disadvantage........
Let's defend this unholy nexus and put them in their rightful place once and for all, do come forward and do your bit as all of us do owe a debt to our mothers, sisters and other womenfolk who are the solitary reason for our being around in the first place.......
