If not now, then when….?

Hello Fellas J

This country simply continues to amuse me! A nation where rape is only second most common to bomb blasts, with an average of more than ten rape-related news coming to light in newspapers every week (wonder how many go unnoticed under silent weeps); it’s amusing the way it is reacting to Shreesanth’s bookie stunt. I mean, come on even a KG kid knows that IPL is synonymous to ‘gamble’! I wonder whether the reaction is because he did that or because he got caught.

He was hungry for quick money so he put his values at stake. He is definitely less guilty as compared to the inhumane beings who rape and murder someone’s dignity. To top it, we have our leaders, who blame women for indecent dressing. Today’s Mumbai Mirror has an article reporting a ban on public display of female mannequins, as it appears ‘vulgur’. That article only mocks at the mentality of our leaders. Vulgarity is in your mind! When are they going to accept?

A couple holding hands and displaying affection in public (with each other’s mutual consent) is indecent but it’s absolutely descent to force someone not just inside closed walls but also moving buses. Our honorable leaders don’t just shed crocodile tears but insist that the victim pleads the rapist by referring to him as ‘brother’; they give speeches without clearly knowing the difference between wooing, stalking and raping, they play puppets with emotions and patience of every citizen – direct or indirect victim.

Today, democracy is like a slap on the cheek. It keeps slapping us; one cheek after the other! It’s high time we slap back!
