Nobody is Safe..

Every morning I wake up and turn on the NDTV live news on my laptop and watch a little of the monotonous news of the old sick politicians, (it’s more like an old age home or committee) then get bored and switch to music..  

For the past few days I have been hearing and reading about the Guwahati mob molestation case.. It is outrageous..

Am sure all of you have read and heard about it or even watched the video of the unruly mob of people (I’d say) wild animals enjoying a feast, they are not human beings... It is horrifying and I could not watch the video, the thought itself gives me chills and goosebums...

What is more outrageous is that such things keep repeating itself time and time again.. All over the country, every now and then there are rape and molestation cases that we see on the news channels or read in the papers..

I know most people out there will be saying, ‘what was the girl doing in a night club..?’ ‘Why was the girl out at such hours of the night..?’ people will obviously point out the character of the girl saying, it was her fault...  

Every time a girl steps out of home, Parents are worried and all they always say is, ”be careful.. Don’t talk to strangers.. Don’t fight with anyone.. Ignore the street lofers.. etc etc..”

But what difference does it make again, even if you do like your parents have said, it does not stop any trouble that has to come your way…  

‘What difference does it make..?’ i would wish to ask these people who comment, those who have the audacity to comment..

Morning noon or night, whether a girl is dressed in a saree, jeans, salwar or burkha, just the fact that 1 is a girl is enough.. Like someone said, ‘teach your son how to behave, not your daughter how to dress’..

And those wicked eyes, we see them everywhere on the streets, staring at you right below your face, molesting you in bright day light in public…

And even today people are blaming the girl..  Even when it is out there for the whole country to witness the harassment of that little girl by cruel ruthless beasts...

Did anyone for once stop blaming the girl and think what she went through in those horrifying moments, what could she be going through now after the merciless event.. The disgust in her of being touched by those dirty hands.. The feeling in her that will haunt her and eat her up every day of her life…

The system is anyways crippled and fucking slow we all know.. Justice will come and if it does in its own pace.. Some will get arrested and some will not, and the rest of the creeps (molesters/rapist/creeps it is all an understatement for these people) will be walking free.. People will resign saying they are not to be blamed or not involved.. People will still play blame games.. And it will repeat.. it will time and time again..

Deep down we all know we are not safe and we are all afraid, knowing that it could come to us or anyone we know tomorrow.. Yet, today we will talk about it and forget it, unless it comes knocking at our door it is not my problem..

Being a girl/woman, I do not understand either what can be done or what can I do, all I am doing is blog., Though I know that, that lil girl and many more like her will die a thousand deaths everday in her life..
