WHY IS IT?

You know, I’ve been thinking for a while about our country, The Republic of India, not having established a certain solid guideline or decorum of what people can and can’t speak about on a public platform, especially considering our lawmakers, public figures and other prominent personalities.

Why is it that a person can have the audacity or even the courage of attacking another’s personal life even when it’s irrelevant to their topic in discussion?

Why is it that, when our country is already getting a lot of unwanted attention considering unsafe living environment for women, that public figures can openly on satellite channels make baseless obscene and derogatory comments about women?

Why is it that people do not consider thinking twice before making a remark about a woman?

Why is it that certain people who have repeatedly offended women are not at the first time given a suitable lesson so that he dare not think of doing it again?

Why is it that the other women in the household of the person who has outraged the modesty of another woman forget that they are women too?

Why do they forget that it could happen to them also?

Why, when our country is fighting to empower women, especially after the 

16^th December, 2012 tragedy, have we not yet learn to respect women?

Why is it that when someone, not specifically a prominent personality makes disrespectful comments about a lady, that it is nothing shocking for our society?

Why is it so normal?

When are we going to begin respecting the gender the majority of us worship for strength, prosperity and knowledge?

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN?

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
