Once again the nation got terrorized by the heinous crime committed on the roads of Delhi on Sunday. Much have been talked and written about it since then. But when is this going to stop? Finding those people and punishing them can only be justified in the eyes of law(unfortunately the lady law is also blind ,may be today I know the reason).But my question remains same that when all this is going to stop? how long are we going to suffer?
After I read the news I was scared to board bus even in day time. If I being a girl of 21st century, earning and living on my own is not safe at 9pm in night then what is the need of saying we are modern,liberal,21st century citizen living in national capital. The mental trauma and fear of that girl will never be justified even by hanging these people. Will her sisters be able to roam freely in night fearless for the rest of their life’s? Will her parents be able to send their children out to make their career and live a life in a metro city?
From where are we becoming free, where are we going...is there no way out is there no end to this darkness .At times I feel I would be more safe and liberal if I would have born 70 years back. Other day one of my colleague said on a honour killing case…’the more educated we are becoming the more castes we are knowing’…is this really the truth.
I want to live in a society where being a girl is not a reason to be afraid, not a reason from my parents to be scared. where being a inter caste or interreligious is not a reason to be killed. Will we ever be able to make such a society..its high time we should think and start taking some steps towards this whether through love or through fear but make our country a safe place to live.
Here is a small composition express a girl’s view
I am educated,
But I am scared
I earn on my own
But, I can’t freely roam
I am considered as goddess
But, my life is now a mess
I live in 21st century, a modern age
But, I feel it’s worse than a cage
What have I done to suffer this
Is still to be born as a boy is bliss
I gave birth to you one day
But, today I curse that way
I wanted to fly and rise high
But, today I am forced to die
