Are we really still humans?

Everybody I wanted to post this on 'The official day against violence against women day' but uh see I was really busy with my exams, still two left. Pray for me? Merci. Love you all who visit my blog. Do drop in some comments just so that I know how I am writing. :P 

Women in our country need a hard and genuine voice. A voice that is prevalent and fights till the end. Even if it just a battle of words. Well to be honest that voice can be their own but insecurities, oppression ,fears, suppression and tragedies. These things are the dark haunting things that silence all those dreaded agonized souls who want to have their voice heard who deserve their voice to be heard. i intend to become that voice. I know there are many but I want to be among them as well. Take time and read this through. And please I intend to start a initiative for empowering women soon. Help me and join me to tell this world that without women it could be nothing but just a rotting piece of bleak/mean/angry/messed up people. I'm posting the unedited version of my article here. I'll update it with the final, official one soon if God wills.

As I write this, my hands tremble and my heart cries what this world has become? Are we really humans or is it just a dilemma? Our society has become intoxicated with those devilish creatures that are breathing and spreading an aura of terror and insecurity among us, without being caught and butchered in front of everyone, what they really deserve.

 Our country is brewing with those people who are a threat to this nation’s integrity. Who don't respect women and think of them as an item of slavery and pleasure. Our society and culture has become so malicious and conservative that we don’t even know what we're doing. Women are thought of as slaves, persons who do your work, meet your every need, and isolate themselves from everybody. They're not perceived as human beings but merely pawns in life. Daughters are told not to interact with anyone other than their family. To stay away from guys. Well fine and alright but we can't completely shun ourselves from the world. After all at every point of our lives we have to interact and work with men. So why not just go and face them. If we have friends then suspicion arises whether they are good or bad. We are not allowed to go out with our friends just because we are girls? That's complete nonsense. Girls are not allowed to study in co-ed environment because there are 'boys' there and it will be not good for them and their personality. Well if that really is so, have parents thought if the confidence their child can gain from studying in a co-ed environment. The competitiveness and sharp personality that would eventually develop with the passage of time? No they're just too busy isolating their generations from the world that when their children get to face the world and it’s time for them to interact with other different individuals, they're unable to do so and they, the children are those who face embarrassment, humiliation. They’re the ones whose self-esteem shatters badly and confidence gets ruined.

Why are girls married early? Most of the parents present this point that its necessary and they can complete their education afterwards and do what they want to do after marriage. No, this awfully wrong. They should not be forced to marry against their will. If they want to enjoy the pleasures of life and take on the world independently then let it be so. Why push them to unhappiness and bind them with someone? All of this is utterly pathetic in its entirety, this backward and shameful thinking. It must and has to change. And as for those who present this so-called argument of our society and culture, well let them be aware that it’s a failed one filled with huge flaws and what an individual has to do with their life is not all concerned and needs not to be related to the society because it’s their own life they have to live. Nobody can dictate them or their lives. We the youth and women should not put concerns of the society prior to our life and should decide free minded what we want to do.

Every woman deserves to be given utmost importance and respect. We have every right to be independent, to live an independent life and to be not told what to do, to do our work freely; to wear what we think would look nicer on us. Go anywhere we like, talk with anyone we want to and enjoy the pleasures of life. And I insist on it strongly with all my strength that women have equal and more importance then men and are an integral part of a society and without them the world would be nothing.

Every now and then we hear the stories of abductions, rapes, harassment, honor killings, acid burning incidents and murders about and of women in the everyday news. While reading this does the thought passes through your mind that lately inhuman and terrible incidents like this one have been happening a lot? But why? Who's to blame? Who is behind this? Those culprits, animals and barbarous people who're committing these acts, why are they not being caught and terminated from the society? Are our law enforcement agencies, which I hardly believe there are any and even if there are they take NO action AT ALL to stop these crimes, totally helpless and can do nothing about this wave of unimaginable things being done to the society's youth, who are responsible for our nation’s future? What should be done is to set up a hard precedent for deterrence so that nobody would ever go down this horrible lane, and that people would be fearful to commit such felonies again. The police and every law enforcement agency in this country should do its hardest best to chase the culprits and don’t let them get away with dirty hands. Every nook and cranny should and must be searched in the hunt for these criminals and nobody should rest until the guilty are caught and justice is done. The criminals should be caught and sentenced to death or given life imprisonment so that those who are thinking on their lines can be taught a lesson before they have re-enacted the acts and so that they can be stopped from committing such heinous acts. This society has made its women so vulnerable and fragile that every other onlooker views them as a target of their evil thinking and so on.

Why are we still sitting in our homes, talking about what should be done, rather than going out as a nation and demand immediate action to be taken against these barbarous acts? Is this really a 'free’ and secure country we're living in? I don’t think so. Who is going to answer all these questions? The country's situation has become so terrible and worse that the moment we step out if our homes we don’t know the things that can happen to us. Those malicious eyes staring at us, those pathetic voices and disgusting comments being hurled at us, girls. That chill you get when a vehicle passes by you and your mind starts thinking what if we're going to get abducted, harassed or robbed of our belongings? What is this all? The cloud of insecurity that never leaves us in peace and lets us rest. Why cannot it just go away? All these questions left unanswered yearn an answer to them. We wait for the day steps will be taken against these things and until then we won’t stop pleading for help, security and respect.

In the end, let me just ask this question. “Are we really still humans?”
