And it goes on and on...

"And one more girl was raped"

When will the time come when the daughters, mothers, wives and sisters will be able to walk on the streets of Delhi without the fear of being raped. Every time I take a step  outside my home, an agitation always bashes my body. What if someone is following me? What if someone throws acid on me? What if I get raped?

And when the fear, covers my soul, I think "how will I face my parents after that? How will my friends revert? Will they judge me? My life will be wrecked. I won't be able to do anything."

I seriously get resentful with this daily news of rapes. Everyday hundreds of girls are brutally raped. Some minors, some adults and some elder citizens (yes!). Even after all these things, only the girls are told to stay in the house and to take precautions.

Only the men drink. Ek achche ghar ki ladki sharaab nahi peeti (a reputed family’s daughter doesn’t drink). Aur jo karti hai aisi harkate, unke sath yahi hota hai (and whoever does that, they face rape).”

And what about "ache ghar ke ladke". Wasn't this supposed to be applicable to them too. But no. These so-called "rules" are for girls only. If a girl comes late, she is characterless. As Amitabh Bacchan said in the movie Pink, "humare yahan ghadi ki sui character decide karti hai".

It's such a pity that the country, where goddesses are worshipped with such zeal, can't even respect girls.

People often blame the clothing of girls for the rape. If a girl is wearing a short skirt, she will definitely get raped as her short clothes give a hint and she is inviting you for sex. If she laughs with you or she touches you, it's an open invitation that she wants to do something. India is a place where length of the clothes decide the character of a girl.


P.S.

1. Indian society teaches "not to get raped" rather than "don't rape".

2. Inspired by the movie "Pink".
