Dear Dad ...please Hold my hand and show me the world.
Have you ever found yourself vulnerable even while walking down the lane to your home at early dusk as if an animal would just pounce on you anytime?
Have you ever got a mini-heart attack when the rickshawala happened to be constantly looking at you through the rear-view mirror ?
And then,as your last resort,did you start exploring your purse to immediately dial-up your friends or family to loudly announce your whereabouts and details of the rickshawala?
Have you seen a guy eveteasing a gal on road where passer-bys INCLUDING YOU acted like nothing happened ?
And the next day the same guy tells his younger sister,"Baale,usharu, bega bala ".(Meaning:Child,come home soon.Be careful in Tulu Dialect)
Then,well,you can assure you are in the Incredible India!
Where eveteasing and namecalling is tolerated in the name of modesty, 'ghanathe' and 'mana-maryadi'! (Meaning:Prestige and Respect in Kannada)
Where a girl walking in broad daylight is also vulnerable!
Where no girl is spared from this ill-treatment ,be it a girl in shorts or a saree or a burkha-clad girl!
Where you care about your home and the family the most and disregard your society and the country!
Will YOU be a positive catalyst to make a Safer India or will you remain a silent spectator?
