Yes, I can

Was I in the 21^st century where women have equal rights and some detractors we have more rights than possible? Or was I transported to the Dark Ages? We have an elected Member of Parliament saying that women need to dress conservatively so that they do not attract the opposite sex, what happened to her? Did she get hit on her head by an alien spaceship or did she travel back in time?

Instead ,of condemning the molestation of a fellow Assamese woman by a bunch of over -sexed, spoilt bullies who by the sheer fact that they can bully , be hooligans and have not been checked by family , friends, or for that matter their mothers ; they have become so. This rampant fallout of law and order reflects the state of our times.

We, are progressive in the wrong direction, the times have changed from the mythological Ram Rajya from the progressive times where women were equal and wore less! In fact, all women of India wore less than what the present day Indian woman wears, if that is the case of saving her izzat, honor.

Who gives a man the right to molest, to rape, to bully to sexually intimidate physically and mentally and to demean her? Why has the society seen a complete break down of law and order? Why has the law become so shackled in delays and procrastination? Why is the official line.’ we will act and we will act on the recommendations given by the NCW? Why is the law a toothless tiger? It’s as if its not even worth the paper its printed on? And sadly we cant even blame the economy, or the failing monsoons for this.

Who is to be blamed? Is our psyche so damaged so stunted that we cannot stand up to stop this kind of degradation of a fellow human? What are we waiting for? Another Satyamev Jayate shows that will highlight the plight? Why do we wait for someone to lead us? I sincerely hope that we do not become a shining (sic) example to the world to see that how lovingly we treat our women. In a land as vast as ours where we pray and consider women as Shakti, the primordial force, where millions lay prostrate in front of her every day asking for blessings, but her living form we desecrate, kill, abort, molest, burn all in the name of money, right, and something just plain and simple as physical superiority. And the answer plain and simple as we can .And the icing on the cake , a woman says we should dress conservatively . Talibanization or regression pick your word.
