The Rotten Minds::Burden on Women
India, since its independence in 1947,has been following a path of immense growth in all fields. Education, agriculture ,Trade ,Infrastructure or be it any given field. We have shown positive progress . We have grown to be so influential globally through our progress that India is being recognized by the super powers of the world as an emerging super power. Yes an odd void here and there are always present but such gaps in the nation are always inevitable.
But there is one thing that has still remained the same , The attitude towards women.
Yes, Our nation’s most powerful person Sonia Gandhi, is a woman. Our president of India, Pratiba patil, is a woman, Our House of Representatives Speaker-Meira Kumar, is a woman, our foreign secretary of India, Nirupama rao, is a woman, our minister of railways, Mamta benerjee, is a woman and we have 33% of reservation for women in various fields. But we are still pretty narrow minded in our approach towards social equality for women and this is a result of the social misbehavior by the rotten minds in our society.
India is a country where the nation is regarded as the Mother-a woman and respect to women is regarded as the culture of the people of India.
Sadly, this is just a false scenario in daily life. The respect which women deserve isn’t fulfilled. Every day, we hear stories in the paper and daily day-2-day life, about either abuse of women or some story about harassment for dowry and some other offense against the women of the country. Even in this highly advanced society, there still exist problems of domestic violence against women, the dowry system even though it’s against the law and also cases of verbal offense against women and also of the eve teasing in everyday life.
Why on earth, a nation whose land is regarded as their mother, there be so many cases of misbehavior against the women? Is this yet another social problem where education might show a ray of hope to solve the problem?
Sadly, the answer is a NO.
It is a question of attitude. Even the highly educated personnel too take chances of misbehaving or teasing other women in an attempt to prove they are somehow super humorous but instead shows they are just lunatic-narrow minded-old fashioned-nut case-animals who have somehow mistimed their birth into this era. In fact they are a curse to the society in any era.
Anyone who doesn’t respect a woman is an animal. Be it an uneducated person or a highly educated professional. They are in fact crooked Professional animals. I fear how our nation will advance in the hands of such barbarians.
Now, Where is the problem?
Why doesn't anyone ever care about the feelings of the other person? Why does anyone take the other person for granted to be on the taking side?
I have observed in many cases, and it pains me so much is that, the ones who play pranks with other women and try offending them get offended when something of the same happens to their close friends (girls) or sisters. Which is being a hypocrite and the biggest numb-skull of the society. These people should realize that the emotions are universal and every one, be it their known ones or those whom they tease but both will undergo the same hard feelings when subjected to such horror.
The main one to blamed for the problems of women here will be the women themselves.
I have seen many cases where, a mother/ a woman, gets immensely happy when her son (even as a kid)/friend, wins over a battle with a woman/girl. She gets proud that her son/Friend, said something catchy to someone and gets happy by his courage for hurting them and for being oppressive. This is bad. The mother, The sister, The girl friend or friend who is a girl, had (they) she slapped her(their) man as and when he says something offensive to other females, He would not be a barbarian anymore who will always be cynical towards women and behaves rudely and become proud of his lame ways to score points against women. One slap at the right time would have changed him for his life to a normal person.
In fact it is the responsibility of the Mother to install in their sons the feeling to respect other women right from the childhood. The lessons should be taught from the time he is a kid, even in school and the mother and teacher should also advice their children about going against the dowry system too.
Hence if a person is out of path, It is highly legitimate and sensible to make the women close to them responsible.
So let’s take the case where the person hasn’t had much of mother care or a proper teacher or hasn't listened to his mother very effectively. Then what is to be done? The girl who takes the hearings or offenses from these people has to act on them. A tight slap right across their face will do the trick and make them straight. But in many cases this isn’t possible due to many social obligations.
Legally , there are numerous laws that heavily punish the culprits involved in misbehaving with women and in many cases the mere law doesn’t apply to the situations. But Until and unless the sense reaches into the minds of the people, Until they for themselves realize how barbaric they are behaving, There can’t be a permanent peace and a full time end to the woos of the women . No law or women’s rights groups can bring any solution to the problem, which is entangled to the thought process of the human being. The thought process should change to welcome the solution.
One time offense is forgiven-Repeated offense is to be greeted with one tight slap-for all those who missed the tight slap-this piece of article should serve as the missed slap-and help straighten your dented minds.
Always Remember, that it's only when everyone is together, we can bring a change.
