Delhi
has the most unique bus system in the world. “Blue line buses” kill the ones
walking on the road… and the “white line buses” rape the ones inside it.
Wooow…!!!
What
a society I am living in!
Being
more famous as the “crime capital” and its “killer” buses than for anything
else, Delhi has created a benchmark which I hope no other city/country ever
reaches.
It
is deeply shameful for me to live in a society where women are looked upon as
nothing more than objects of pleasure…
Reading
about the female journalist who was gang raped by 6 men last night in a bus and
then thrown out without her clothes on, send a shrill down my spine. I know
what it feels like when a guy stares at you with wrong intentions, but being
raped and humiliated is something very few may be able to understand. This
female is now fighting for her life and has severe injuries on her body. She
has slipped into coma 5 times and has had 3 life saving surgeries with 23
stitches.
A
couple of days back there was news of a 4 year old baby girl, who was raped and
left to destiny by her uncle. She had bite marks all over her little body.
People
say wearing tight fitting clothes with plunging neck line is an invitation to
being molested…
But
what was her fault? Was she wearing revealing clothes? Or did her innocent
smile and hugs send out some other message???
SO
STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM EVERYTIME THERS’s NEWS OF RAPE.
One
of the “REMEDIES” given by the head of a famous sect (that I can’t mention) a
few months back was to marry off girls as soon as they reach the age of
puberty, so that they are “safe” and not “raped”. I have a question:
Why
only pin point women? Why not marry off boys as soon as they reach their age of
puberty? At least they will have someone to fulfill their needs every time they
are turned on!!! It might as well stop someone from being a future rapist.
Isn’t it?
Seeing
the rape cases on a rise, I have many questions for which I WANT an answer:
Is
it my fault if the rickshaw wala refuses to go and that I am compelled to take
a bus?
Is
it my fault if the driver/conductor turns out to be desperate?
Is
it a crime if a girl steps out of her house after 7?
Why
is it so hard to respect the dignity and freedom of women?
Why?
Why? Why?
It’s
time to be real. It’s time we talk sense.
Let’s
raise our voice against RAPE and stand up for our dignity. Getting scared and
sitting at home is no solution.
Do
you agree with me or not?
