Let’s Kill Mr. X

I am no social activist....and nor do I aim at starting any revolution but still. I am restless...I am restless because there's something which has been troubling me for long time...And ya..i am so weak that I can do nothing but write an Article about it..... I dare to surf thru the news channels now days which are overflowing with the news of atrocities on women. Our mother/sister/wife/friend. … …………
Ø Mr. X slaughtered the neck of her daughter because a bloody sadhu told him to do so and he will be blessed with a guy……………….
Ø Mt X threw a 22 yeas old young woman from the balcony of his room because she didn’t bring the required Dowry…….
Ø Mr. X threw away his wife and children for another woman on a cold winter night…
Ø Mr. X from an esteemed IT company treated his wife like a slave…….
Ø Mr. X’s relatives burnt alive a lady in a remote village of MP as “Sati”
Ø Mr. X threw Acid on a college girl whose only sin was that she and turned down the acts of a hooligan…
Ø Mr. X and his parents cheated the girl by faking the information about him being the manager of a hotel…….. More than 19 Indian women are killed for dowry everyday, 50 are raped and 480 subjected to molestation and abduction 45 per cent of Indian women are slapped, kicked or beaten by their spouses with India also having the highest rate of violence against women during their pregnancies – Nearly 50 per cent women were kicked while expecting babies with nearly 74.8 per cent attempting to commit suicide.
This ain’t an article written to pity on the plight or show pseudo-concerns by making faces....Neither do I aim another RDB……..the only thing which troubles me is Why? Why is it that in the land of Rani Lakshmi Bai,Sarojini Naidu,Kalpna Chawla....the plight of woman is so -----------------……..I seriously have now words…………..or may b I don’t want use it… Is there any way that we can help them (woman) who help us shape our future? I write this article asking the same question to all you readers????????
The first thing which comes to our mind is illiteracy but no it can’t be because stats show that even woman of elite families become victims of such violence. Two things which come to my mind is
Ø Degrading outlook of our society or “Soch(Hindi)”…...we need to sow again the seeds of “Sanskaar” into the youth of today. ..i know it’s a heavy word and you all will say that me gonne “”nuts but we need to inculcate The sanskaar with which all of us were born. …somehow I feel that the problem is at the grass root level….Who is this Mr. X?….This Mr. X was once the son of his mother. he was the brother of a sister…………and How come he got transformed into a monster. a menace to the society…? We nee to get back to the roots and make sure that our brothers/son/friends don’t turn out to be another Mr. XWe need to make sure that the well deserved respect for the woman is again inculcated into the youth of today.
Ø I am sorry but I got to say that the second problem is with you all ladies out there…You silence is eating away your low sisters/mothers/wives/.It’s high time now when you/we have to come together and register our support to these victims and raise our voice against such menaces of the society. Its no longer a problem of Sunita,Geeta or Rakhi……………Its your problem. its the problem of the society at large…………..Its the problem of my/your/our siters……….. And believe me you don’t require the support of anyone….
I know we as an individual can’t take care of the entire country but we can very well look after our district/city/state and imagine if each one of us does so the Land of Mahatma would again be a safe world four our Sisters. So, next time you see on Ajjtak/Star news. Any damn channel or hear or read about any atrocities on any woman……..spare a second.
Give a thought..
Ø Can you do anything for the victim?
Ø Can you make sure that Mr. X is put behind the bars?
Ø If the incident is in your city Can you gat in touch with any NGO to highlight the issue and ensure that justice prevails?
Ø Can you provide any monetary help to the victim?
Ø Can you and your fellow employees form a group ensuring the safety of woman in your society/district/city…?
Guys, there are so much that one can do…what we need to just give a thought……. Let’s get together and KILL Mr. X Who knows if we don’t curb this epidemic now our Mothers/sisters/wives may meet Mr. X some day…………………..
Jawahar Lal Nehru once saidYou can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women. Going by him the condition of our nation is ------------- ….as I say I seriously have no words or probably don’t want use any………
