Is this the India we really want; an India where women are regarded as nothing more than objects of sexual gratification or then as the worldly possessions of their supposed lord and master to be used in any manner whatsoever as per his discretion or then abject lack of it........
Whatever happened to the India where a woman was regarded as an equal if not superior of her male counterpart; an ARDHANGINI or equal, a female replica of her male counterpart, are suppressing the hopes, aspirations, desires and rightful claims of the so called weaker sex the hallmarks and distinguishing features of a so called 'evolving' and 'progressive' Indian society??????
Instances like the one about a heavily pregnant woman being gang raped by three male assailants who knew no better or more precisely wanted to know no better; one really wonders how a seemingly bloated and supposedly distorted female form can stimulate or invigorate any normal male libido and instigate him to commit the most heinous and gruesome crime against humankind.......
Pray, tarry a moment, hold your horses for a while, let apart heavily pregnant women, one has also read and come across reports of eighty year old great grand mothers being brutally raped, four month old infants being sexually assaulted and left to die and last but not the least, 14 year old daughters being raped by their very own fathers who happen to be senior Bihar Administrative Service Officials repeatedly over a three month time span and threatened with either expulsion from their home and hearth or then this very planet if they spill the beans to an outsider or another family member.....
Are Indian women, girl children, infants and toddlers really safe and secure within the four walls and seemingly sacrosanct precincts of their very own homes, certainly not if the contents of a startling and revealing report put out by human rights watchdog Amnesty International are any yardstick to go by........
This report has starkly revealed the ugly and heinous face of our increasingly hypocritical but seemingly holier than thou society and arrived at the conclusion that almost 85% of all sexual crimes committed against children below the age of ten are either committed by a blood relative of the victim or then somebody inextricably linked to the family of the victim or then intimately acquainted with it......
India oh India, kyaa kehnaa teraa, I am so lucky ke tu hain mera went the lines of a song both penned, composed as well as sung by Anu Malik not too long ago; but are we really lucky to be born as Indians or then are the inhuman, despicable and desperate acts of an increasing number of us menfolk forcing the rest of us to hang our heads in shame and mortification.......
I for one steadfastly refuse to hang my head in shame and mortification, I have been raising my voice and will continue raising my voice against this deplorable tendency and disparaging beahviour till my very last breath; I give a damn for the consequences, at the worst can a fate worse than death befall me; I will always prefer dying a hero's death once and for all rather than dying a coward's death a thousand times over.......
Friends, fellows and countrymen, the time to simply look the other way and sweep this unpleasantness under the carpet is well past us; as the Times of India advertorial in this regard calling for heroes to take up cudgels on behalf of our seemingly hapless women says wanted heroes to take a firm and unequivocal stand in favour of the Indian woman, I for one can proudly say that I am one of those men who has decided to and begun making a difference, can you say the same about yourself..........
