If the proof of the pudding is in the eating
then the recent media attention
hue and cry, breast beating
has done little to change
the plight of women, who
continue to be gang raped
tortured for dowry, ill treated
not only by the other, but her own sex!
Back to the basics
is what’s most important
starting from school and the home
inculcating values of respect,
equality and concern
for all living beings, particularly women
Else all this negative tom-toming
will only encourage more negative behaviour
and raise TRP ratings of TV channels
that would only be happy for more stories!
the juicier, the better!
Note: According
to the Law of Attraction, we attract more of what we focus on.
I agree mothers need to change first and put their daughters first.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject Mridula!
ReplyDeleteProper 'education'for both boys & girls so that everyone treats women with respect.
ReplyDeleteYes, the perfect prescription! Thank you for sharing your thought!
ReplyDeleteSo true Rajeev! I believe that sorority should be much more strong than is now...people should lay down their defenses and be more open to one another. And of course the "right education" should begin from home. What you said about Law of attraction... believe in that too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Deepa for going into the essence of the poem and giving your inputs! Good to know that you also believe in the power of the Law of attraction.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The change has to begin at home and these days I see many young parents having those talks and trying to do the right thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll see better days.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Divya! Yes, let us hope for the best.
