Black Friday

Friday's incident is once again a tight slap on the law and order and security agencies of our country. The nation is ashamed to hear the horrific act of gang rape of a woman photojournalist in the Central Mumbai. It is more shocking that such immoral offence took place in the state which is known as a safe and secured place for the fairer sex.

Also the ordeal of the foreign student Michael Cross in her 3 months education tour to India has depressed me and I have nothing to say.... Her statement "India is heaven for tourists and hell for women" speaks volume of sufferings she had to bear in her 3 months' stay in India. What is happening to our boys and men? Why there is a constant erosion of moral values in our testosterone group these days? Are our Indian men a sexually starved community? Why despite so much noise this beastly act is not declining? Where does the problem lies? Why men are doing this constantly? These type of innumerable questions run into my mind turning me red with anger with the feeling of knocking down those morons and breaking them into pieces.

These people have made life miserable and scary for every girl breathing in this part of the world. What is eating up the psyche, moral and ethics of the people that young, old, educated, uneducated, relatives, strangers, all are found plunged into this heart wrenching act? Why Indian men cannot get over with the thought of 'women is meant only for gratifying their physical hunger'? Why they can't see a woman beyond their skin?

The mind doesn't find consonance on any of the talks, assurances or guarantees. It seems a covert crusade has been launched by a section of male community to shake the soul of feminism like never before.

Surely, the string of similar incidents have impacted me enormously and for now just speechless.....
