RSS Chief ,the custodian of Hindutva, asserts that rapes take place in (urban) India and not in Bharath(rural India). Contrary to his assertion statistics unmistakably indicate that the percentage of rapes and crimes against women in villages is overwhelmingly higher than that in cities. But the high priests of Bharathiya Sanskriti (culture ) are not convinced with the hard facts. They prefer to be in the illusory world of ' tradition ?'. They blame the Western culture for all the ills of the Indian society. They are ready with Do's and Don'ts for our women. A senior Minister in MP cautions women not to cross the Lakshman Rekha by breaching moral boundaries. Another leader is a woman; Chairperson of Chattisgarh Women's Commission. She says that women's dress and behaviour,influenced by Western culture, give a cue to men to rape them.
Mahabharata,our national epic, has a shockingly glaring example of the assault on the modesty of women.When the Kaurava prince attempted to disrobe queen Draupadi in the open court before the emperor, kings and highly esteemed leaders and teachers,no one dared to stop the horrendous attempt. Draupadi was a rare woman with exemplary courage and determination,and a role model for Indian womanhood. But the humiliation meted out to her is a blot on the Indian culture.
If political leaders cannot guarantee safety for our girls and women, LET THEM AT LEAST SHUT THEIR MOUTHS UP.
