FALSE PRIDE OR THEN SHEER INDIFFERENCE..........

And so the carnage continues and the saga of rapes all over the country continues unabated, with the figures of familial rape or then instances of fathers raping daughters over a considerably long period of time getting a renewed shot in the arm.........


Yes, folks I am talking about our own holier than thou India, a land that takes immense pride in deifying it's mothers and daughters while sweeping all unpleasant occurrences or sexual crimes and misdemeanours committed against them under the carpet, baat uchchlegi to ghar ki izzat mitti main mil jayegi aur ghar ki baat ghar hi main rahe to achcha hain.........

Can anything be more hypocritical or stereotypical, most if not all of us seem to be more worried about protecting and safeguarding our families tattered prestige and last vestiges of so called honour rather than protecting the victim, making sure that she receives the necessary or requisite medical, rehabilitative or psychological care as well as bringing the alleged culprit or perpetrator to book........

Is it any wonder then that an Amnesty International Report highlights the fact that more than 85% of sexually exploited children within our motherland are exploited either by their fathers, uncles, brothers or then a blood relative or person who has been known to the family for years together..........

We end up causing untold damage to the psyches and self esteem of the hapless victim in a misplaced and misguided effort towards protecting or safeguarding our family's dubious prestige or honour and what about the young girl, lady or woman involved????does she really matter after all she is nothing more than a second class citizen.........

And pray what set off or caused this latest outburst a sad, heart wrenching and gut churning instance of a 16 year old girl who summoned up the courage to file a complaint at long last against the male who was supposed to protect and nurture her but ended up sexually abusing her for the last two years and more.........

Yes, folks yet another sexually deviant father has made Hyderabad proud, this devil reincarnate had been raping his younger daughter for the last two and a bit years and is now absconding with his tail between his legs as he has been exposed for the entire world to see......

Time for some deep rooted introspection and taking a good long hard look at ourselves in the mirror me thinks, we need to get our convoluted thinking right in this instance at least and bury this nonsensical concept of family prestige, honour and pride six feet under where it rightly belongs..........

Women are the future of the nation, women are the creators and nurturers of life and a nation and society that does not preserve, protect and cherish it's women is surely destined to meet a gory and grotesque end........chew over that one and examine your motives, act decisively right now or you might just end up ruing your fate.......
