Rape

_ It already is bigger than everything else.


Everyday,Morning to evening to morning, you hear news of rape, sexual assaults, acid attack, sexual harassment in office etc. Every day you open the newspaper, you switch on the TV and you are bound to see such news.
First of all you feel sad for a moment, for that person,think it can never happen to you , thank god for keeping you in safe place , and move on in your daily life schedule. Your loved one will make calls to you and ask to take extra care. You don't pay attention to their advice, instead of that you will shout on them that you are independent and brave girl.

Indian government has already announce death sentence as maximum punishment to rapist, Rapist is not only the one who force victim to have sexual intercourse but also the roadside guy who pass comment on you , the guy who looks at you from top to toe. you turn around look at the guy who stare at you and ask him to stop staring , He will reply "Not at all sister , I am looking some other things" just like he is the only one innocent guy on the earth or "Oh , come on , should I have to pay for watching around the road? " So what he think , woman is the free show going on road ? these guys are not different from rapist.

Today in office most of gentlemen are discussing rape issues, the same they watch today on TV channels. "what that girl and boy were doing at midnight on the road and girl was in skirt ,who knows she might have flirted with other men in disco and just step down on road with one of them?" midlife gentlemen from group drop his thoughts about the incident. One talented person ask very quick question " If tomorrow same happen with your sister , Should police first investigate about her character? "  Pin drop silence and everyone moves to work.

 How can, I mean seriously , how can someone judge girl's character from her dress ? That midlife person did same , trust me friends this mentality is one of the cause to rape in India. What about the 3 years old girl , What kind of skirt she wear ? Dress can never be invitation for rape , It is mental disorder in rapist.


This is not end , rape victim has to go under mental trauma when she has to face society.we people need to accept the rape victim with love and support. Friends we are from the mythology of Ramayana where the whole story revolves around the respect of a woman, Sita, The whole story shows that no matter how mighty a person is, he/she cant violate a woman and even if he attempts so, destruction will fall on him.All the powerful symbols of Knowledge, Wealth, Power are rested with female deities in the form of Saraaswati, Lakshmi and Durga / Kali. This does not mean that worship woman or her body ,Respect her right from when she is in womb.

Lets come to the our first point, your loved one will make calls to you and ask to take extra care.You don't pay attention to their advice,Instead of that you will shout on them that you are independent and brave girl, on same day you have to travel from office to home at around 10pm in city , you will realizes how much fear these incident have installed in your mind.Every men you see in the bus looks to you as potential rapist. You remember your loved ones advice and wish you should have bought at least pepper spray with you.

Mahatma Gandhi said “the day a woman can walk freely on the roads, that day we can say that India achieved independence”. I mean , woman can not travel to home from office at around 10pm without any fear, will India get independence?
