Save Humanity!

Quoted from the famous film 3 Idiots, "Oye Champ, tu andar hii reh bhai; bahar bohot circus hai!" and unquoted. The present situations are nothing less than that! The ring master is this patriarchal society which no matter how much advancement in science is as savage as it was in the primal times. The whip they use is this barbarians in the form of male race and at the other end of this whip stands the WOMEN. The very woman who conceives them in their womb, suffers nine months to show them the light of this world, goes to no ends just to see a big bright smile on her child's face, gives up her voice, her interests, her passions just to comply with the society that she lives in. She sacrifices all her desires just to keep the roof above her head intact, just to keep the society at bay and not end up being called an outcast, a characterless woman.

But is that actually fair? Does complying with the interests earn her any prize worthy of being showcased? Do others even acknowledge her sacrifice? All that she earns is smirks, lewd comments, sly glances, mocks, thrashings and in graver cases --- molestations and rapes. They said, a woman should be properly dressed and maintain decorum to avoid been taken advantage of! While they get the freedom to wear whatever they want, go wherever they want, they restricted their creators to a closed circle. If a woman tries to find any loopholes through this strong thick wall and so much as just peeps her head through she is severely punished. Her self-respect, her dignity is played with. There is always a devil lurking in the dark waiting to pounce on her and satisfy his libido, his primal desires. Is it the fault of the woman that she dared to peep her head into what she has a right to or the man's who forgets his civilized state and gives in to his primal instincts?

Earlier they said rape can be stopped if women wore full-sleeved covered from head-to-toe dresses. They stated that if a woman remains within the four-walls of her house and does not put a foot outside it, does not take a stand in things in which she is entitled to, she will remain safe. But what answer do they have for this barbaric, disgusting rape of a five year old girl? What instinct of man would allow him to do such a deed if not he is a mad, insane wild animal? Who would dare to insert candles, wax into the vaginal tract of a minor girl who is not even aware of what is going on with her if not for a mentally unstable person? Do they have any answer for this? Do they realize the gravity of the situation?

As usual the protests are on. Candle marches, silent protests, agitated marches, burning of effigies have again taken a ride upscale only to die after a month or so. Long discussions are taking place at every nook and corner, committees are being made, laws are being passed, speedy arrests of the accused is done... But to what avail? Does this change the very fact, the harsh truth that there are a lot more evils out there roaming freely and at any point of time might make any female race a prey to his poisonous glare and interest. Apart from doing just the above, there is a lot more to be done. Apart from just discussing, we need to take a stand for what we really believe. Apart from making a committee we need to see to it that the outcomes are correctly implemented, the laws are strictly executed and followed and stringent punishment given to that individual who is incapable of giving respect to that race he owes his world to!

But, just like a silver lining; there exists a section of male figures who still have a little bit of humanity left in them. Men, who are disgusted with themselves, who condemn such acts, who are not so thick-skinned as to remain unaffected by it. Men who say they would better turn gay because they feel they don't deserve the bliss called "Women"! Men who feel helpless over this unending situation, who self-accuse themselves of being a culprit because a major section of their race is wrong. It's because of this slight grim hope that lingers on that we are still breathing. Men do not need to turn gay, they just need to control themselves and act instinctively, for I am sure that no man's instincts would allow him to do such a barbaric act.

"You might not be able to change the world, but you can create a difference." The sense of a conscience is a strong one. If only you can condemn such acts and those who think on the wrong lines, the initiation of restoring humanity is done. This is enough to call you as a saint as far as "male species" go!!!
