Unfortunately, like they say, it all has to begin with us or at home. Until, everyone has that on their minds, the society will rot and we will have more people roaming around on the streets, either trying to pull a girl towards him or just living with the thought of taking her for granted. <br />Tejaswini Pagadalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142101749449424539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836920130591952384.post-2536308320913838642013-11-23T06:23:12.046-08:002013-11-23T06:23:12.046-08:00Nidhi,

Why does the feeling or the need to help someone become a big deal? Why don't people get that? I still wonder. I wish this ends soon.

A boy/man comes out of his place- all over, the film posters are on display, carrying pictures of women in all sorts of compromised postures and dresses. It is difficult to watch a commercial movie without violence and sex. Theses two are absolutely necessary spices for a movie to be a hit ! The so-called value-torch-bearers of our society canard unending advices to the women to be nothing less than a Sati,Sabitri with India's traditional dress code but never utter a word against the activities going on in the name of entertainment ! Business interests are intertwined with this silence in rotting capitalism. <br /><br />Hence my question- can this be over ? Unless...... <br /><br />Good, straightforward expression, it is, as expected from Teju.<br /><br />Basu uncleEPIGNOSIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14094430915463891547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836920130591952384.post-24705580101702759842013-11-18T02:39:00.341-08:002013-11-18T02:39:00.341-08:00I completely understand your irritation and a comp...I completely understand your irritation and a compulsion that drove you to vocalise this so honestly. <br />I just have one contestation however. It is just I have experienced harassment and assault in Hyderabad on numerous occasions prior to Dec 16th. I do agree though that it has gotten worse now. there is a climate of fear for us and a culture of impunity for them. I struggle with the ideas of where do we draw the lines between protection and safety more than ever. <br />We are all part of this mess. The bystanders that don't support women during an assault, the onlookers that believe it was a women's fault and finally the ones committing the crime itself.<br /><br />I would like to be confident and say: Next time I see a woman in distress, I will help her. Even if it means just standing next to her. Till it comes down to that, I hardly think women will be able to do what you did. Resist and protest, publicly. <br /><br />Just what came to mind when I read. :)Srinidhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828533428913795413noreply@blogger.com
