I want to share a thought with you people, and it is not merely a thought. The women security is one of the biggest issues to be dealt by us in India.
We need to understand that why we have to be so much concerned about women security. Most of all, opposite sex attraction is the rule of nature, you can not ignore or repress it. The root cause of rapes and women molestation is needed to be thoroughly understood by us. It is essentially the lack of exposure to opposite sex people and broadening of mental capability.The people with low moral capability and values tends to involve in such kind of immoral acts.
Now, here anybody can say that if your moral is down, then you need to grow mentally. This mental growth directly and certainly depends upon the society we live in. And women are supposed to run our society in Indian culture. So, women should grow and make the other parts of society (i.e. their husbands/boyfriends, children, elders) grow mentally and morally.
But nowadays, this doesn't seem real, because women are not realizing that they are being disrespected in many ways. They can't even think and realize that you are representing yourself as an commodity. The television, commercial Indian movies currently being produced, and our media(on both internet and newspaper) presents the woman as an commodity, you can see any kind of advertisement, a movie trailer, any kind of TV commercial, homepage of any Hindi newspaper website & ads on it. You can always find a woman in modern clothes (or my kind of typical idealist Indian may say less clothes) trying to ignite that greed and monster of lust inside us.
I shouldn't say this, but a woman always try to become an eye-candy for people. But still, modernists and modern feminists may say that a woman can walk down the street without clothes, and it is only your fault see her lustfully. This can never be justified because lust is always present there in a healthy man, you can not avoid the act of nature.
So I want to request those modernists and feminists that they should not encourage women for being a commodity to men. Women is and will always be the better half of a human life. The women should educate themselves morally & ethically. And then educate their counterparts(Children,Husbands,Boyfriends, Brothers, Elders) the same, so that they will respect them.
Any woman should never let a man to disrespect her, but this can only be done if a woman had already educated that man ethically and morally.
In India, it is believed that woman is the living form of Devi(Goddess), so Indian women should realize the fact that they are Devi and they should act as Devi rather than being disrespected like a mere commodity having a certain price.
Moreover I want to appeal the women of this world that you have the power to make and destroy your own society, you can choose yourself.
