As per news a
state government is accused of putting a young lady under surveillance. Whether
it was with her knowledge or not is not I will discuss but it is reported that
her father has stated that he had requested Chief Minister for it as he was
close to him. It is a fact that we all make use of our contacts for something or
the other we wish to do. It is also reported that government stand now is that
it provided security to her on her father’s request. There is nothing incorrect
about it but what I would like to know is that who had foot the expenses needed
for such surveillance or provision of security – did the father pay for it or
was it misuse of taxpayer’s money? If it is later then in all fairness the
concerned bigwigs should take responsibility and face consequences. The public
has right to know.
A young law
graduate lady is reported to have said that a recently retired judge under whom
she had done internship had indulged in unbecoming behavior. What pains me is
not only such act of a custodian of law, if true but also why did she wait for
so long before bringing it out. She should have reported it as soon as it occurred
without any fear of her career as I am sure it would not have been jeopardized.
Why should a girl bear with such degrading behavior just for the fear of
career? This act of silence encourages such persons to victimize more hapless
girls.
Coming to reported
physical assault on a young lady reporter by one of seniors whom she had full
faith in - When will girls learn to defend themselves under such circumstances?
She should have given him a kick on his face with her knee when he bent down to
do what he is supposed to have done or she should have kicked him in groin or
she should have bitten his ear off. She should have started banging the lift
door as her hands were free which would have attracted a lot of attention and
also would have deterred the alleged culprit from doing what he did.
It will take ages
to make desired changes in thinking of men towards girls which again is due to
our own folly but that should not stop any girl to be brave and not get scared
under such situations.
Do you think my
thoughts are right?

totally agree with you..
dependence on others is what we girls need to shed..
I completely agree with you.I wish all parents were this forthcoming in ensuring that their girls can act for their defense. There is nothing to be ashamed about it.
I also appreciate your acceptance that it will take long for men's attitude to change. It is upon the girls to fend for themselves.
right....but yar some thoughts cant be expressed

You are correct, Jack. Girls should be taught the art of self-defense. It should be taught by parents in the home and by teachers in schools.
It all starts in the home. If sons are raised to be good men respectful of women.... and daughters raised to be good women and made aware of their rights, then perhaps such horrible things may be avoided. Parents have such a great role in the family, not just that of caring and nurturing their children but making sure that they become responsible members of society and not be its villains instead.
Blessings to you and your loved ones.
