What happened to her could happen to any of us. We live in a unsafe city, unsafe India, where there are so many such cases that any single one fails to get the deserved attention of people. We are so used to horrors of rape and molestation being reported that now we have begun to treat it as normal and that is what is the biggest threat to our society

Dear Sayantani,
Thank you for going through my blog and agreeing with me. But we have to keep hope. Women have come really far in India. There will be a way there will be change.

Amrita

Barnik, that’s who you are. Don’t stop.

Police actually can’t help! Men can stop rapes! Real Men!

Dear Barnik,
Thank you for adding your strong voice here. Yes women should take measures to protect themselves. As you say men who stand by women have become an extinct kind. I can understand your plight. I have seen men who do that are often jeered at by fellow passengers. But that should not stop you. You need to show them the way.

Regards
Amrita

If there is good policing and proper police patrol that will be enough for the moment. Thank you for reblogging my post and helping my voice reach more people.

There needs to be an equivalence established for the various crimes against women and not look at something as a greater or lesser crime. Some thoughts here: http://partlytrue.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/class-equivalence-of-sexual-offence/

It’s amazing how media can go to any lengths to manufacture TRPs. 2 years will pass off in a blink and those beasts will be free to roam again & target more women. However the speed of passing the verdict impresses me. What happened to those other cases eg the girls targeted similarly outside Taj hotel, Mumbai some years back on a New year’s eve? Forgotten & conveniently swept under the carpet. I have tried to voice my support for women on trains & buses earlier but without any more support from other co-passengers. It’s a frustrating experience. Girls have to be taught to defend themselves using karate, pepper sprays, pocket-knives in school & college. That is the only way we can get the prospective rapists/molesters to back off.
