I like writing poems on love and related stuffs and this can be found by my earlier posts also. And, that’s really true. I love writing on these subjects, but suddenly some news triggered something inside me and forced me to change the subject.
2nd November: Two youth killed by eve teasers in Mumbai.
13th November: Father expired in Indore when some boys tried to pull his daughter from bike; father who was riding the bike lose his balance and met with a fatal accident.
23rd November: NEW DELHI: Foreign women exhibitors have alleged that they have been subjected to eve- teasing despite tight security and a special team of women constables keeping vigil at IITF. Though cops acknowledged the problem, they expressed their helplessness in curbing such activities because of a large turnout.
25th Nov: Three boys riding a yellow motorbike teasing a girl and even catching hold of her arm, while in yet another one five boys—all drunk—followed two girls from Punjab University gate number 2 to the girls hostel and tried to force them into their car near the hostel gate.
This is not the only news which has worried me, but daily newspaper is full of this type of news. It’s sometimes, Delhi, sometime Mumbai, and some time a small town of any part of India. Not a single part of India has remained untouched by this issue.
I won’t say that this is only the issue, I should be worried on but I sincerely feel that one can be sensitive towards many issues but the pain of the problem can only be understood if the FEAR of the problem is inculcated in one’s mind. I am not only sensitized towards the issue but I can understand it completely, because I face the FEAR. Every time when I’m walking on road, I face that FEAR, every time when it gets late in returning from office, I face that FEAR, every time when a stranger looks at me, even when I’m in a crowd, I face that FEAR.
I hate this fear because it stops me to move forward, it stops my parents to encourage me to move forward. I hate this fear, because I’ve heard it has taken many lives (in form of suicide or murder or natural death due to depression or tension), I hate this fear because……………….. I don’t want this fear to become my destiny and stop me from my personal and professional growth.
The dragon of eve teasing has started stretching itself from verbal or oral to physical to rape and to murder. It has to be stopped somewhere. As yet, I’ve not come through any act or law against eve teasing but I’m really looking forward to the day when we will have a stringent legal punishment against eve teasers. But, instead of sitting and waiting for the stringent law to come, we should at least take a step against it. I’ve started raising my voice against it. U also start ……………………………………………………
