The Fairer Sex Is Fair No More

                                                      We as Indians have a strong set of beliefs . We preach gender equality and women empowerment and respect for the fair gender is one of the first things taught to us in our childhood . This puts me and all the rational thinkers who have grown up with these set of moral ethics to raise a question " What the hell is happening around us ? "

                                                The country which once was a safe haven for females is now on its way to becoming a despicable nightmare . Abuse & domination of women is becoming a national trend . The capital of the country now holds the title of being the least safe city for women . The events of rape and physical abuse taking place in metropolitan cities considered to be civilized and cultured are being treated with such callousness and disregard that our belief system and ideologies may be on the brink of disintegrating . The horrific incident of Aryanka Hozbektar and the treatment of women in the Mankhurd Shelter Home are some of the recent examples that display disregard for the well being of women . The horrific case of the gang rape of a student in Delhi just a few days ago only provides concrete proof to that thought .  Now the questions plaguing the people are " Where is the line drawn ? Where do these senile acts stop ? are we even safe in the sanctity of the four walls we call our home ?
                                         
                                                 As a well rounded citizen and a individual with a rational mindset , I am appalled by the recent spate of events and i truly believe that each day spent contemplating action instead of performing it is a step not into the future but into the binding past that once besieged our glorious country . We are on the precipice of anarchy and the decisions we make decide whether we regain our sanity or go overboard .
