After almost 7 decades of independence; we have achieved great heights in technological developments, we have advanced in many aspects of life, set foot on every field known to mankind BUT we still have, what we usually refer to as "People with 'Back-ward' mindsets"
Everyday a new flirting case, every week a new harassment case, every fortnight a new rape case, every month a new acid-attack case. Yeah! Awesome Development!
So, what can be done about such a society? Is it not the fundamental rights of every citizen to live free? Is it not the duty of the government to enforce it? Is it not a task which the youth should take up?
To this i say-
"I TOO HAVE A DREAM"!
Just another day, I was travelling with my friends on an excursion trip. It was in an A/C train and we were having good fun until...
Until, a group of drunken retards who claimed to have political back grounds.
Yes, 5 drunken people did change the night for a group of above 70 students and a support crew of 10 people!
They just started to literally 'FLIRT' with the girls. They started by interrogating about our names and whereabouts and proceeded to even harass the guys sitting nearby so that they could sit beside the girls! Naturally the trip-organizers, escort teachers and other students started to move about to different couches.
Was this necessary if the psychology of the present adult population (especially the age group of 22-30) were so cheap, flighty and backward?
No, right. So I say to it again-
"I TOO HAVE A DREAM"
Ok, this is the direct and serious problem. But there is still another problem, A MORALE ONE to probe about.Is it not the mentality that we should target?
This is the *In-built thinking* of the elderly population: their do's and don't's, their so-called *SEXIST* nature- Eg. not letting girls have equal freedom, not letting them enjoy their lives, setting a typical dress code for them, not letting them mingle with other boys, not letting them develop a healthy state of mind for today's fast pace of life.
It will for once, definitely sound dumb. But this cause is more important than the first cause. This is the root of all the happenings (cases and violation against women) and, if not looked after soon enough then it may be more destructive than a super nova- as it demoralizes and reduces self security for every being in that nation.
And, have we ever looked at these silly but so much more effective causes this way.
Of course no, so i say it again-
"I TOO HAVE A DREAM"
So, guys stop reciting the National Pledge for the sake of doing it. Mean it. Let all our barriers break free and let all our psychologies mend. Let them all blend, so that we do have a bright future.
Until every girl in India feels free and secure everywhere she goes,
Until every women has no fear of getting raped on silent roads,
Until every home-maker feels that she has a role in making the nation,
Until every married women is free from domestic-violence,
Until every girl gets same freedom as her brothers,
Until every girl-infanticide cases are put to an end,
Until every girl is free to wear what she wants without any restrictions,
Until every girl gets the right to protest in the society.
Until every girl gets what she wants and not get abused later by some roadside cheap-sters,
Until and unless these are all achieved, their will be people who start to violate women's rights.
*LET THE GIRLS RISE AND SHINE*. Let them understand their freedom, let them drop a line of control for themselves, let them protest for themselves.
And Till all this is made reality,
"I TOO HAVE A DREAM"!! \m/
