...people got killed in lynchings, girls got molested in Assam, Bangalore (when it came in news few years back), raped in Delhi, Hyderabad, Unnao (now and then).
The one thing which is common in all these incidents is that the perpetrators have been from one category called 'MEN'.
Policy makers, if willing to bring some change can very well pass some strict laws which might improve the situation as they did in one stroke while removing the special status of J & K (where till today internet is down, start-ups are being forced to close down due to no internet connectivity as internet acts like oxygen for the start ups, quoted in the most read Newspaper, The Hindu), but they are seemed asking for suggestions from the MPs which they din't while scrapping the Article (not against scrapping but methodology was questionable).
That is a totally different issue, the point which I'm trying to make is that if people sitting in the Parliament are willing to make some serious decisions claiming 'in the interest of the Nation', they can very well do so in cases relating to rape too, however, they are openly showing their unwillingness in making some strict laws, ammendments.
Why not ban boys/men outside after 7:00 PM or why 7:00 PM, ban by 5:00 PM during Winters and 7:00 PM during Summers?
Why not put sanctions on people who give absurd statements of why rapes happen?
Fact is, nothing will change, only we can bring the change! Like I stated earlier wherever we are, we need to be alert and focused and not trust anyone at all and the need to carry some kind of self-defense 'articles' is at the peak.
I was watching one angry lady speaking that let us lynch few boys who are of no use and keep passing comments (the usual Manchale), as girls are dying daily, why not few men too for the Nation and that when 20-30 girls would unite and lynch few boys who they feel threaten their existence, probably it is only then such incidents would stop (she was spilling out her anger but we need to understand the seriousness when a girl is dying everyday).
On a serious note, we need to be alert and active leaving behind our passive attitude that 'hamare saath thodi na hua hai, na hoga kabhi.'
We have to understand that even if it won't happen we are also responsible in a way or the other and thus, have to take the responsibility of improving the situation in our own ways, by taking the smallest but significant step towards curbing such menace in our society. \m/
