Dear Friends,

The very unfortunate incident happened in Delhi, the gange rape of a women which led to her death soon after, has drawn attention of everyone including the international activists. It was very unfortunate that such an 'animal attack' happened in the Capital of our nation. While we call ourselves as cultured and civilised, incidents like these makes us ashamed of ourselves. Our tradition demands dignity and respect for women. Our constitution guarantees full protection to the women. But still it happened, that too in a way which cannot be even imagined to have done by someone who have a mother. At least for a moment, if those criminals had thought of their mothers and sisters, such incidents would not have happened.

While blaming the polity and the judiciary, we forget the fact that the girl was our sister and those criminals were our brothers. Are we not responsible, even morally for what happened in Delhi? Is it not our duty to protect our sisters and guide our brothers???

But in fact, this is not the only incident happened in the country. Everyday there are many women, who are being harassed by men like this. When the people and the media around the country say that death sentence should be given for the culprits, how many of them think whether such a punishment will stop such incidents in future??? NO.

Then....???? 

Think of it.....

Anyway let us share our concerns for our sisters...
