I am back...only to write on a controversial topic. life style in India (esp. kerala) is quite different from that of the west. Each culture possess its own unique traits which can either be good or bad. Men teasing women in buses , market places,cinemas etc in India are so common that it no longer pricks our conscience.Women remain silent for fear of having to bear social disgrace as she has been touched by a male.Also there is lack of courage on the females to speak against the stronger of the species as it is traditionally taught and bred in our families.Talk about victims being further victimized !!. It's all about being the "Good Girl". Having been married and moved to Britain , i am being surprised even more.Last week , i had gone to a summer party with my husband and there was good food,music,dance and drinks. By midnight almost every soul there was either half or fully drunk the exceptions being me ,my husband and few others.While dancing ,i happend to witness an act that shook my certain grey cells.A merrily drunken dancing lady flicked a gentleman's bum(sorry for the crassness!!).The guy in question turned around looking shocked, gave a sheepishly weak smile and continued his dance.The lady still danced away.I was the one,flabbergasted.Hey, i am not a critic here but am pointing to an idea here.What gave her the guts to do that ?!not that it is correct or even decent.Girls do not react to things that wrong them because we are always expected to behave in the nice girl way which need not be right.Our society feels that if we let girls have freedom,they will bring about immorality.I believe it is rational that any human being is corruptible and everybody should have a good upbringing ,be it a girl or a boy. A girl's entire character is weighed against sexual morality.It is important but that is just one aspect of the character.It's time we consider a person and not the gender.Give them education ,food, care,clothing ,freedom,depending on individual and personal needs and not on irrational and unfair basis.Before i become a parent, sibling, pofessional,child,girl or a boy,i am a human being.Therfore,i insist to be treated as a human first before anything else...............cheers.
