I think it is true for rest of India as well, which is why the message they convey through YHM matters.we might think no one watches soaps for moral science but it has an effect.Passing stringent laws is not going to solve this problem nor enforcement ,if that were the case the first world would have fewer incidents of rape which is not true.The change has to come in the mindset of people.
They should shame Ashok and Param in public.Take the issue to their mothers.
In our society the victim is shamed while it should be the other way around.
our films, literature.. television are a reflection of our attitude as well as a weapon to bring forth change.
It has to be like a carpet bombing campaign.
I know many on get upset when televison indicates "wearing short dresses could make you a target for abuse"
We throw a fit and "DEMAND" to wear short dresses. It wont work in a country like India.
You see women in bikinis and beaches at swimming pools, oh heck in summers I see women in bikinis and a towel in stores, if they quickly run out to gerab something before they head to the beach
NOT A SECOND GLANCE👏👏
You CANNOT do that in India. Sure, you can throw a fit and demand to wear it... but chances are someone is going to cross the line.
"Ive lived over seas, I am "MODERN" I have a great body...I am going to wear it but I dont want any one to look at me or molest me"
WILL NOT WORK.
Forcing India to turn into America overnight will not work.
Law enforcement will be the first in line to abuse you, try complaining to a cop in Delhi, especially around the University area. They will take a "good look" at you and shrug it off "Ghar se dhang ke kapde pehankar niklo" they will say
Sure, go ahead do a dharna, take out a procession, quit college and dedicate yourself to the cause of shorts or short skirts...chnage wont come in the three years you are enrolled in...😉
I know of MANY American Dads that are super protective of their daughters, wont let them wear shorts... or certain kinds of blouses... no dating allowed... etc.
Indian Dads are not backward or crazy... 😃
