India being a Country having a very rich cultural heritage and boasting importance and worshipping of many goddesses from mythological times to the present is unable to prevent or save the modern women from various assaults, manhandle and injustice caused from all sectors of society in the modern times.
The political and the judicial system in India, has more favors for men than women , which goes so much out of the way to prove their innocence or enforce justice to men, who are framed as culprits on various abuses and assaults against women.
Unlike the mythological times where women are highly respected and worshipped, in modern India, women’s fight for her survival starts the moment she is out of her mother’s womb. Female infanticide is practiced in so many parts of India. Girl child is looked upon as a curse/burden in the family and are immediately thrown away into dustbin or killed by their own kith and kin. Even if the girl baby overcomes her hurdle of survival just out of the womb, she is not spared as she grows, a girl child basic rights are deprived when she is very young and she lands as domestic worker slogging till her last ounce of energy leaves her body & not to mention her mental and physical abuses she receives from her employer. There is no safety for a teenage girl on the streets and even in her own house in India. The Media screams of scores and scores of incidents where young girls are molested by unknown/known men/gangs on their way to home, malls, colleges/offices etc. Then comes the worst ordeal a women endures during her marriage in the name of extravagant dowry paid for the groom side and after marriage in the name of more dowry harassment. Money and material is valued more than a women’s life so much so, a married women is torched to death for not getting what her husband exorbitantly demands from her parent’s side. The atrocities doesn’t end there, daughters and daughter-in-laws of many household become prey to the man of their own home , for the most unbearable low act of a inhuman beast’s selfish lust and passion.
With all the above injustice meted out to women of any age, there is no proper justice given to the victims. Even if few traumatized girls come up in the open to seek justice for them, the money and power beholds the jurors and they get away from their demonical crime.
Inspite of so many social outcries by various social and activist groups, why is history repeated over and over again. Where is the mistake happening, Why cannot we save our own women in the country, what causes repeated barbaric attacks to women.
It all happens because of the mentality of men involved, it happens because of the political power and money backing such person, it happens because of the inadequate laws to condemn and punish such wrongdoers, it all happens because of the helplessness , fear and the inability of those women to fight the injustice , it happens due to the “I don’t care so long it doesn’t affect me” attitude of the society that witness all these atrocities committed against women, it happens because “we - the public” are forget the fact that law and order are equal to both the gender and women are in par with men.
The change to end these relentless biases toward women, should come within every man inside the family, the change should come within every men in the society, the change should come in every man to remember to see women as what she is and respect her. With respect comes love, with love comes attitude, with attitude comes character, and with character comes dignity. Treat women with dignity. She deserves it. Respecting Women will bring the change which the society much needs and make the place safer for a woman to live in whichever part of the world she is.
