We live in a so called ‘democracy’
where everyone is given a chance of expressing
their views and opinions ,yet none of it is actually taken into consideration
or spurred into action.We live in a
society which is so unsafe for women that even stepping out of the house now
seems like an extensive task.We live in a country so rich in tradition, where
women are deemed to be ‘goddesses’ but in reality are not given the respect
they deserve.We live in a world filled with hypocrites.
The recent rapes have created a
surge of panic throughout the country but nothing has been done so far.To say
the least,all the hype lasts only for a week after which it vanishes and we
forget about the entire incident,or rather try to.And the families of the
victims enter a never-ending cycle of striving for justice.(Sadly the case in
India)
We have become so accustomed to
the word ‘rape’ that whenever we read any article in the newspaper regarding
it,we turn insensitive.Psychologists term this as ‘narcotisation’-wherein
a heavy dosage of negative news such as
rapes or robberies portrayed on the front page of papers make users immune to
the shock of such deviant action by wrong doers.It’s not that we don’t
care,it’s just that we know we are helpless and can’t do anything about it.
Campaigns are held after every heinous crime committed,but honestly
speaking,what good does it do?Probably creates more awareness ,that’s all.It is
extremely frustrating how everyone is so easily let out on bail,irrespective of the intensity of the crime
committed.When will things change?When will we get answers?No one knows.
As unlikely as this might sound,I just hope to see a brighter,happier
future with a reduction in crime rate.I have nothing more to say.
This is a beautiful short film that I
think everyone must watch.
