Today I read an excellent article from Rasheeda Bhagat "Rape is about power, not lust"
Here is full read
I was amazed at the severity of issue which is so much prevalent in our civilized society. Rape is surely a statement of power over women which man seems to be exercising from the time human race comes into picture. We Humans are the most intelligent race in this world but when it comes to respecting women even animals are way ahead of us. I am ashamed of calling those people Humans who carries out such a heinous crime like rape.
But my mind is not worried about only women getting raped in our society, there are more instances of entire human species getting raped by some individuals who are sitting at the top and calling orders. We The People Of India are getting raped continuously from past 65 years by the politicians and we were Silent. Silent... like a women somewhere in every house in India who suffers a lot and gets humiliated a lot, not only from society but many a times from her own relatives and she never says a word. She never says a word since she has been brought up like that in a male dominated society. If she raise voice she is considered loose character , mad and treated like animal , beaten like animal.
"Is getting raped India's destiny?" We were raped by Britishers for more than a century. At that time there was no freedom of individual, no freedom of thoughts and we revolted . We revolted as a unit and the government tried to tame us with sticks , guns and bombs but at last we succeeded in throwing them out of our country.
Can We The People Of India call ourselves free today?
When a so called Yoga Guru starts protesting against black money and protest gain masses then force is used to stop them.. People gets beaten up by their own country's policeman.. The same policeman who gets paid because we pay taxes..
When a Girl gets gang raped and brutally assaulted by some bastards and people asks Questions from government about their safety, security and well being, they got answered not by voice but by Sticks and tear gases from the same policeman who we pay so that we can be safe.
Are we really safe in our own country?
A girl writes something on facebook which doesn't go well with some political goons and what happens? She gets arrested and her relatives gets thrashed and no person who is responsible for attacks gets arrested Why?
Can't we raise our voice is something is not right in society? Is there really something called Freedom Of Speech? Are we really a democratic country? Is the preamble from our constitution make sense now?
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY, of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, DO HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
Is this the right time to Think, Right time to Act ? What does the future has in store for us?

Very True sir. Hats off to your thinking first. Definatly If few of us just start this revolution it will bring change in this world.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fact what we read above. The anger within us surfaces time and again when any unfortunate incident happens like this. But everything's goes to normal in few days or week. We won't get our due respect from the people who rule us unless this anger translates into some kind of revolution. Revolution to get justice and above all to get respect we as the citizens of this country deserve.....
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely its the right time to think,act and stand together.
ReplyDeleteI dont think all these 'MANGO PEOPLE' wake up and if they.... then Govt trying to crush them..........then also they are going to vote them and bring them back in center to suck our blood............
ReplyDeleteA radical take on Rape. Relevant none the less.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is lots that is wrong with us / our society / our government. And at the root is our mentality, our infinite capacity to take in whatever is thrown at us
