WORD hammie, this unfortunate incident has become a sort of a turning point. Its shaken the core of our identity as a 5000 year old civilised society. Im yet to come across a person who is not affected by this. It has opened a pandora's box, a can of worms, a host of issues brushed under the carpet and everything that affects women in particular. It has exposed all the gaping holes in our shining, fast developing India. But i see a new found defiance amongst women against the existing accepted brushed aside norms and practices biased against them. Its a welcome first step.Originally posted by: Hamlet53
Yes me still tuned into this subject.. I watch the news on AAJ TAK.. consistently..its an issue very hard to ignore. Currently , yes, I am angered by various known figures views, justifications on how future such cases can be avoided.. of course their opinions , grieve and anger me , but I take solace from the fact that the aftermath of 16.12.12..has started nothing short of a revolution, a great stirring in the hearts and minds of the people of India.
There is continued deep unrest amongst the women in particular about their role, their rightful place in society, their respect ,honor, integrity ... in short the portrayal of their image..just how exactly does society perceive them..?
Another issue that is hard to ignore is that India is a democracy, and therefore a host of opinions concerning the burning issue are churned up regularly, which to me a is a good thing.. for it keeps the debate on this issue open, till some sort of verdict is delivered to the perpetrators , and laws or systems are put in place for the security of women citizens, regardless of their age factor.
My fear is not enough noise on the still fresh subject, so as long as protests, and media shown mind sets of sages or what not..however shocking, insulting, and preposterous..keep it coming for there is no peace yet.. only agitation and disorder.. although she sleeps forever, SHE HAS FORCED IN A CHANGE... about female identity..
