My First Post.

     Hello. This is my first blog post.  I would like to start off with the real concern of a woman which is about the disease spreading in our country at a rapid pace.  

    The Indian Subcontinent – right from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Bengal, this place has all extremities that one geographical area could ever have. Be it the weather or the culture and religion of people, INDIA can very well boast of it being a diverse country, and win hands down as well. So much so, this diversity has penetrated deep into the minds of its citizens and reflects in their thoughts as well. What could be a better proof for this, that the fact that the Indian women do not feel safe in their own motherland? Yes, we live in a country, where celebrating Navratri, with pomp and show is considered as a mark of respect to the Goddess, but respecting a girl, a lady of your own family is designated unmanly. We respect our mothers and love our partners, but do not want daughters. Why is it so difficult for us to respect and honour the “second gender”? When a girl loses her dignity, she is blamed right away, for being provocative, but the actual person responsible, is not even questioned. At some point, it can be agreed, that there is no smoke without fire. But, for how long will we have to bear with this? How many more girls will have to become victims of mental torture, sexual assault, domestic violence or any other form of harassment? We need to take responsibility now. The law is doing what it is supposed to. So rather than playing the blame game, we need to become civilized and broad minded enough to accept reality and stand by it, no matter what.
