Is there any need to celebrate Women’s Day and Navratri here?
Today is the first day of Navratri, everyone is wishing each other, but why really it is an occasion of good wishes. Where are women safe? There are reports from everywhere in the country that the woman was gang-raped, honor killing has happened and was killed for not obeying, then why do we pretend to celebrate Navratri. There have been many incidents of rape in this country in which women have been brutally killed, whether you take Nirbhaya, take the anecdote of Kuldeep Singh Senger from Unnao, take the rape case of Hathras or the Ankita Bhandari murder case of Uttarakhand. The things that have come to light in the Ankita Bhandari murder case have revealed that Ankita was being forced into prostitution. Are women only objects of sexual intercourse and priests of lust roaming all over the country, my words may sound objectionable to you, but the act that has happened is more objectionable than that. We celebrate Navratri, worship the mother goddess, worship the girl and what many vicious people do, they rape the same girls, kill women, torture them and if women do not listen, then they end their lives. So why do we pretend this Navratri and why do we show off by worshiping the girl and the biggest show we do is by considering it as Womens Day. We remember women only on some special occasions like on Navratras, we go from place to place to find girls, worship them, give them Dakshina and as soon as Navratri ends, we start atrocities on women. Love the son more than the daughter, oppress the daughter-in-law and if women do not listen, they kill them very ruthlessly, in the same way. On the day of Women’s Day, they take big pledges, big speeches on Women’s Empowerment And after the Women’s Day is over, they torture and molestate them again.
Think again
We talk about Ram Raj and women’s respect in Ramraj, we talk a lot about women’s safety. Many things and many policies are told in the speeches for women who should strengthen them and take them forward like “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” etc. Do these things remain only till the stage because the ground reality is completely opposite to them. If no political party will be brought to the dock here, then those criminal people, wearing the mask of political party, commit such misdeeds. The one who is in power, the craving for opium intoxication of sex increases, it can be of any political party. Many protest are seen on the streets who perform a lot on the streets to capitalize on the political issue, jam the road and create a lots of drama. Whether it is a valentine’s Day day or a love affair of two religions which these people have called love jihad. They come on the streets to protest, but when a girl is actually raped and the rapist comes out of their religion, then these people hide somewhere in the bill, which is not visible.
Our Minister of Women and Child Development of India is also missing somewhere! When there is no need for her to speak, then she reminds about women respect and talks about apologizing, but when a rape case comes up and her party’s ear is involved in that, then she hides somewhere. Which is a matter of great concern for the country of India, because sitting on a responsible post and not being able to fulfill that responsibility it causes the downfall of the country. If it happens, they are requested to give resign. If any ilegal matter happen, first of all action should be taken, then after enacting a land law so that the land that is being usurped in the village should be stopped. There are many such laws to be made which are not made, will someone have to die to get the law made?
