Ladies stay unsafe in India
This isn’t the primary time a person has been unable to take rejection and has brutally assaulted the opposite individual, doubtlessly murdering them. The Sahil-Sakshi case from Delhi attests to the truth that conditions like these can lead to horrendous endings.
In 2017, a 22-year-old man killed his girlfriend who was an adolescent for not accepting his marriage proposal. An analogous incident passed off in March 2023. One other in 2022. In 2014, a person not solely killed a woman for rejecting him for another person however he additionally raped her useless physique. The checklist goes on and on.
It’s not the faith of the person that’s making him commit despicable crimes, just like the media so clearly desires to speak about.
It’s the man and his upbringing in a society which tells him from the start that “That’s what boys do”. Ingraining the concept that violence and aggression are of their nature and nothing could be performed about it. The truth that getting rejected is what pushes them to commit heinous crimes makes you marvel concerning the lengths they might go to if it was one thing extra severe. Acid assaults, rapes, public humiliation, abduction, and many others. are all how ladies stay unsafe in India even with males whom they contemplate their family members and household.

Media and Politics in India have at all times revolved round faith and making one the “antagonist” to promote papers or garner TRP. Creating spiritual divisions in society isn’t serving to any citizen besides politicians to govern the scenario and use the bulk as their vote financial institution.
