Maybe this is the cause

After thinking what is the cause of this attitude towards girls somebody told me this:-

"In India we do not let girls and boys grow together. From the childhood, we develop a sense in them that boys and girls can not be friends and should not share their feelings with each other. This barrier leads to the curiosity and anger in boys to tease girls"

Well, I agree with it somewhat. I have one girlfriend from 10 years of age who is now my sweetheart. But we shared our deepest feelings and problems when we were just friends. Maybe this understanding of girls is the cause I don't tease girls.

But people just don't tease girls playfully. What they do is violent. Its no playful friendly taunt. So, after all I think that its not the chief cause. Those who are bad at heart will use any excuse to theirr favour. No reason to support them. What do you say?

Is Bollywood responsible in India

Of course. If not totally, it still is a major cause for this social evil. I have seen many many films in which it is shown that the hero nags and nags the heroine still she says yes. This may be possibe and fair in films but it leads to a bad mentality in teenagers and the young. After all India eats, bresths and sleeps BOLLYWOOD.
And it is shown to be a funny thing in Films. A hero's partner passes comments at girls to make fun. See, DDLJ in which SRK nags and nags Kajol in every way possible. And the first scence showing a women wear to Kajol at first meetng is by no means decent. Also see PARTNER in which the duty of Salman is to flirt with girls. And these increasing crime scenes in films are not helping either. I like SRK and DDLJ but not those parts. Can't bollywood sacrifice a bit for sake of a better society?

Polce, the dark side

We all say that police should take action against eve teasing. They are responsible for keeping laws. But what happens when police turns bad. Well, police is mostly bad. But what happened in Kolkata recently is inhuman.

At night a 12 year old girl was moving on the road. Two policemen in uniform stopped by her on a police jeep. They asked her to come inside. When she got inside the assulted her in every possible way. She was kept at gunpoint so that she does not shout. It was her sheer luck that some people noticed it and ultimately those police got caught. This incident has again raised the question "Are police dependable?". What can be dome if the saviour of law does such thing. And that too with a 12 Year old. These people are inhuman.

They has been suspended. But is this enough. Who takes responsibility of the life of the girl who will have have to face the taunts of neighbours all long her life? Maybe she will have big problems in marraige also? Are you listening?

The police takes action

This is a story kept under cover. I am not telling the exact location as that may lead me into trouble. On May 2nd a eve teasing case occured here. The girl was molested and harassed. She told his brother and he came with his gang and beat the hell out of the teasers. There was a big fight and 5 were hospitalized. But the surprise is that the police took the side of the girl and let his brother's gang beat the hell out of the teasers in front of the police. They did not interfere. Maybe this was not right in legal sense. But my view is that they did the right thing. If they had interfered those teasers would have been jailed for a day and then released without any punishment due to interference of corrupt higher authorities. Sometimes it is needed to let the public do the justice. After this incident I hope eve teasers will think twice before teasing a girl again.
