The need is to act. To do something about the high levels of crime against women in India. (Click here for a rape map of India). But our politicians and leaders are busy moralising, telling us of dented and painted women, of what happens to women who cross the Lakshman rekha (the line which a woman should not cross), and as usual are giving lectures to women on how to behave. To see and learn about what India’s political and spiritual worthies have to say on women cick here.
The police, who so far have only shown a high degree of indifference to crime against women and have even been party to molestation and rapes, have yet to demonstrate that they mean business.
So it is left only to the public to act. Apart from the protests in various parts of the country, some public initiatives -
The brave man, Srikant Bhardwa, who lost his life trying to rescue a woman from a pack of molesters in Ranchi.
In Assam women and some men caught and beat up a politician, Bikram Singh Brahma of the ruling Congress party, after he raped a woman.
The reaction to self proclaimed spiritual leader Asaram's inane statement about the girl was to blame was vocal and furious.
A Delhi-based entrepreneur, Srikant Sastri, has started a campaign 'Save The Republic - Resign Before January 26th' asking MPs and MLAs who have been accused of crime against women needs our support. To read more about it click here
