My writing today will go against my blog title 'Daily Life in Style' because...my daily life will not allow me to live in style; because, I'm afraid of my existence in this world; because, I'M A WOMAN.
The gang rape incident that took place in 16th December 2012 has left me in a state of shock. While surfing my Facebook account, I came across the brutal incident faced by Damini in the capital city. For a minute, my mind was totally blank. Several questions came into my mind, like why did this happen, what was her fault, where were the people around, how could so many human do so much bad to a human.....
I don't know her, I have never seen her but I could feel her pain, the helpless situation that she has gone through. And, after a while, my soul said, God, please help her. May the criminals be hanged till death.
Like me, she might also have many dreams associated with her parents, her siblings, her boyfriend, her friends. But now, would she be able to withstand the storm that shattered her inside out? Will the people around take care of her, entire life? That day, she nor the entire world could have even sensed that the animals in the society were making their mood to stripe off the respect of a woman and bringing down the many dreams to death. Those animals are the outcome of 'No Justice or Low Justice' done till date for the many such rape cases in the country.
I'm yet to recover my mind from the Guwahati women molestation case where a teenage girl was molested by rowdy mob of 50; I'm yet to come out of the pain of Faisalabad girl whose face and body parts were burnt badly; I'm yet to wipe of my tears for Damini, that two new rape cases flashed before me today. Will my eyes remain to weep forever? Do I have to bear the pain of being disrespectful forever?
Who do I ask to bring me a life full of happiness; a face full of smile? Who do I ask, if my life as a woman a curse?
