New Year, same

savagers

As we awoke on the newest day of the

year, we were groped back to the
heinous and dreaded headlines which
continue to wrap the press in and
around the country. This open show of
hooliganism took place in the presence
of 1500 on duty cops, openly
challenging our disposition for the
safety of women of the country.

This brazen act of cruelty has left

women all across the country scared
and created a state of mass hysteria.
Moreover it has vanquished the slightest
confidence that emerged in the law and
order of the country. The Karnataka
government has announced that an
installation of over 550 new CCTV
cameras, all in the wake of this incident.
Will these steps replenish the
despondent souls of their lost hope, is
highly doubtful.

It is often said that women wearing

inappropriate dresses that lead to
molestations and rapes. But rather it is
the idea that women wearing
inappropriate dresses lead to rapes and
molestation that does it. Its high time
we stop riding this continuously
interminable cycle of blame shifting and
provide a safe and healthy environment
for our girls to live, which, in all
realisations, is quite too much to ask for
from the country, apparently!
However, one thing we want women of
our country to know that stand by them
and hope that each and every man on
Earth understands their importance and
give them the respect that they
deserve.
