Are We Paying Off By Being Women




Previously it was Delhi and now it's Mumbai. Reading Times of Indian on my way to Office is always a good start of my job but that day I was upset when I read another brutal rape case. This must not be my condition but all the sensible citizens of our country would have been in the same situation. But this is not the first case and of course will not be the last one. I mean what is actually going on in the mindset of people. The more media tells us about the stories of gang rape the more number of stories again becomes a part of the next day's news headlines and one more was a police constable was allegedly gang raped. And the news doesn't stop over here,  who is unaware of That Saint's Case which is on air these days.Can any one tell me is it only fake.. Well more than the rape case I am surprised on his statement!! Please don't justify his statement that Nirbhaya should have pleaded in front of those rapists and should have said bhaiya to them. Can that saint please tell me one point that was he the victim of the case and had he seen Nirbhaya not asking them no leave her or pleading for her life? Who knows what she has gone through or what that 23 year old journalist must have gone through and what is in the mind of that 5 year old girl who was raped by her neighbour and what that widow must be facing who was raped by decoits and how much humiliation the family has to face,  what each and every girl of the country must be thinking after listing scores of cases of rapes and yet this is not over. Who knows who is next!!!

Please tell me when all this is gonna get over? Starting from female foeticide, to rapes to brutal behavior after marriage or throwing of acids if a girl says no to marriage, those murders just for greed, that humiliation in the society, that inhuman behaviour ................is it going to get over one day or we have to face the world like this.
