On 6th January 2017,Somewhere in the rural part of India a beautiful baby girl is born to a innocent,illiterate couple whose daily life depends on agriculture.They, instead of thinking her as a burden considered her as a gift from heaven and decided not to kill her. They fed her properly,send her to school,gave her education,make her comfortable with all they can afford. Even though its difficult for them to manage their daily expenditures ,they never thought of sending her to work.She studied,achieved came out in flying colors in the male dominant society .At the age of 21 they allowed her to go to city to work for her qualification instead of forcing her to marry someone.This young little girl with her wings flattering flewn to city and stood on her own leg for survival.She worked 12 hours a day and walked alone in road by midnight to her home.Adults passed by her,thought her as their sister and wished her a good night.Drivers stopped the cab and asked her whether she needs cab to reach home safe.In work she never felt any steriotyping ,as everyone treated her equally.She married a guy who never demanded a single piece of penny as a dowry and respect her for inner beauty.And then she lived happily thereafter!!!
This is the kind of India that every confused Indian is dreaming .Its easy to put words in a blog,rather its difficult to implement and witness in real life.In a society where the word bitch and slut is mostly used it is unreal to think of this dream into reality.Coming across all the molestation news that happens in our country I remember a banner carried by a young girl in Delhi a few years before pleading for justice to Nirbhaya.
"They said her short skirt is the reason, they had no explanation when a burkha clad woman was raped.
They said her jeans is the reason, they had no explanation when a 60 years old nun was raped.
They said being woman is the reason, they had no explanation when a monkey was raped.
They said walking on street is the reason, they had no explanation when a woman was raped in the kitchen.
They said dark night is the reason, they had no explanation when it happened in broad day light.
They said being alone is the reason, they had no explanation when it happened in the crowd.
They said western culture is the reason, they had no explanation when rape happened even during king's rule.
They said her age is the reason, they had no explanation when a 5 years old baby was raped".
Everytime they defended the rapists, they were proven wrong by rapists themselves. Yet they keep supporting rapists and keep blaming the victims. Tell them to change their mentality, before telling her to curtail her freedom and change her dress.
We as a confused Indian will hereafter act against these molestations instead of standing and watching the act by folding our hands.
