A Question To All

 Hi All,

You must be surprised to see me blogging after a long hiatus & you may want to know the reason. Well to be frank nothing really has touched my thoughts during this period which I can hold on to public eye. So before I put my words into the foray, I would like to wish all a very Happy Festive season.

Now lets come to the point, a sudden incident has brushed my thoughts & I just want to know public opinion on this. I request you all to give your point of view.

Last week a male colleague of mine (name withheld to retain privacy), was narrating an incident. He said, on the weekend, he & his friend were taking a stroll on their terrace at midnight, when on the main road, in front of a house a call center cab haulted & a girl got down from the cab wearing a short dress. So he said to his friend & the next day to us, that since girls wear such kind of dresses, incidents of rapes & molestations are at all time high. I told him, may be there was any party in her office & so she was all decked up. So my colleague said, so what even if there was a party, girls shouldn't wear such kind of dresses. I found my colleagues statement very undermining. I told him that eveteasers & rapists do not spare a saree, salwar-kameez or a burqa clad women either. Such kinds of criminals are mentally disoriented perverts. Do not try to justify their criminal acts, as a person who is trying to justify the crime, is equally convicted as the criminal. Moreover, a girl too has the rights to wear what they feel good. It all depends on an individual's attitude. A girl clad in saree can also do notorious acts if she wants. Nobody has the rights to code them. In our day to day life, we girls too come accross, men doing many shameful acts in public places, but we do not go & outrage their modesty, so why cannot men leave women at their own choice, or rather say why can't they control themselves & be social? People who think on the same lines as my colleague, I have a question for them. How provocatively a two month old baby was dressed up that a 27 year old man couldn't keep his hands off her? Child abuse/ molestaion, of both male & female child, is on a rise, what justification do my friends have for this question? Last year in Mumbai, a taxi driver had raped a stray dog, does it mean that our so called metrosexual men cannot control their libido at the sight of a naked street dog? When will men learn to live & let live?

Instead of policing girls on what to wear, if such people can spend a little time on thier self-development, India would have become a better place & would have got rid of such criminal brains which is a social stigma.
