“When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today, because my right is justice“- Sarojini Naidu
- What choices are we making as a society ?
- Are we a nation of mass murderers ?
- Whose job is it protect our daughters ?
- Does a girl not have a right to be born in our country ?
- For how long can we continue to tolerate or justify the cruelties perpetrated on women as somehow required by tradition ?
- How is our society well-served by a tradition that forces a woman to practically sever her relationship with her parents when she gets married ; that denies her the right to take care of her elderly parents ; that denies her an inheritance from her parents ?
- How is our society well- served when our Constitution is set aside , and half our population is denied the same rights to education, health, freedom,opportunity and equality as the other half ?
- After parents have killed of their daughters , where will they go to find brides for their sons ?
- Can our society afford to have hundreds of thousands of unmarried, marginalized men with no outlet for their frustration ?
- Are we comfortable with the rate at which crime against women is steadily increasing ?
- When we read about rape, dowry death or female foeticide in the newspaper and just turn the page, unaffected, is it because we have become hard – hearted and indifferent, or has our own sense of powerlessness made us numb ? And if WE do not react to this outrage , who will ?
The consequences of our actions :-
As long as the birth of a girl does not receive the same welcome as that of a boy, so long we should know that India is suffering from partial paralysis.
