Am a woman, a single woman, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a colleague...
Am a woman, a single woman, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a colleague.. There are so many men around me who care for me- my father, brother and brothers, friends, colleagues. Being a part of society am bombarded with news of rapes, eve teasing, physical abuse, emotional abuse of women, all the time. All of sudden, am informed that an Indian channel buys rights of a documentary made on a woman who was brutally raped and barbarically killed by some 'Men'. Now one women (who shares my gender but with a different nationality) interviews a 'man' who is a rapist, who without remorse says that if women will roam after 9pm then they will get raped.
Am now confused - is being a woman means being a second class citizen?
Am confused- is being an Indian independent woman and a woman of different nationality has some difference?
Had this rape incident happened in UK or US (which factually have larger number of such reported incidents) would have encouraged India women to make such a documentary on foreign convicts?
I though appreciate efforts of a woman of different nationality to make and produce such visual documents for experts.
BUT PLEASE ALLOW US TO LIVE...WE INDIANS ALREADY HAVE TOO MUCH TO TOLERATE TO AND LIVE WITH..
DOCUMENTARIES LIKE YOUR ONLY DEEPEN THE DIVIDES IN OUR SOCIETY...
INDEED YOU HAVE PUT EFFORTS MADAM...BUT HAD NIRBHAYA BEEN YOUR DAUGHTER, SISTER, FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE - YOU WOULD HAVE GONE ON RECORD WITH THE SAME CONTENT...????
NDTV- WE KNOW YOU ARE TOO GOOD...BUT IT SEEMS THIS TIME YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO BE INDIAN...
PLEASE STOP PUBLIC DISPLAY OF WRONGS THAT WAS COMMITTED BY FEW MEN....THIS WAY YOU ARE FORCING ME AND WOMEN ALIKE TO SEE EVERY MEN AROUND THEM WITH AN EYE OF CAUTION...
PLEASE AS WOMEN WE LOVE OUR FATHER, BROTHER & BROTHERS, FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES... STOP RIDICULING WOMEN & PLAYING WITH THEIR SENTIMENTS...
