I got up in a high mood on the last day of the year to find out the news in the newspaper that the top cop in one of our states has told that rape is a result of the way girls dress these days. Wao....does he mean to say that it is OK to rape a girl if you find her dress is too short. God, give us a break. Who is this cop and did not he get basic education from his parents in his childhood?
I was naive to think that this was the maximum height someone can reach. After couple of days the Head of the Bangalore University has supported the view and asked to implement dress code in colleges for girls. the most shocking point is that this person is a female and she belongs to the same school of thought. God save her daughter and daughter-in-law.
I remember a case in the US where a lady in bikini got molested in a sea beach. The judge told in his verdict that no one has right to touch anyone even if he or she is naked. We can file a case of obscenity against him or her but no one has given anyone the right to touch. This is called a civilized verdict. A half educated ( I am not talking about academics) person is as bad as an animal.
Now when I have started thinking much deeper I am no more shocked by such comments. There is a serious problem with the level of civilization and education in our country. In a country where so many families are ready to abort girl child, where so many people takes dowry for marriage, where so many cases happen where parents kill their child for inter-caste marriage it is obvious someone will put the blame on the girls for being raped.
In core of our mind we are like Talibans. We want to impose animal rules on people in the name of God and religion and culture.
Will the cops give gurantee that there will not be a single case of molestation if everyone wears Burqa? It is their job to find out those psychos and hang them in public rather than blaming the girls. People need to grow up and start learning differences between fashion and obscenity.
If a sleeveless dress seems to be obscene to someone he or she should sonsult a Psychitrist immediately. If someone cant control his libido seeing a girl in skirt then he should be better advised to get a hormonal treatment.
I wish we will not reach a state when girls will be asked to be at home always and we will go back 1000 years of civilization. And we know what used to happen to women then.
