Dec 16, 2012 Event of Delhi Gangrape has shook conscious of people in more ways
than one, the brutality of the incident, the aftermath protests, and the
insensitiveness of politicians were all triggered our conscious, which requires
drastic change in our behavior and thoughts.
On
what makes one do such crime? is harsher punishment(death) the answer for
stopping these incidents?, on the spot emotions might say so but if we analyze
deeper, there are many problems underlying which is causing such incidents,
Just that Women are a softer targets of these problems.
The
first question we should ask is What makes Delhi more prone to Rapes than other
cities, One view could be that Delhi is one of the most contrasting cities, where
you see people, who are rich business class or poor working class, you will
find both Bullock carts as well as BMWs on the same road, (Delhi may be only the
first, other cities may follow soon until we have inclusive economic growth) Obviously
this economic-social Gap in the society and Lifestyle leads to degeneration of
values and erodes the social cultural fabric of the Society, for instance in
Rajnikanth’s Robot movie, there is a Scene where Aishwarya Rai is harassed by a
Fisher man, his argument is “to have such a girl for one day, he can spend a
life in jail”, that's the mentality these men are transforming into, they want
to easily become Villains rather than to work hard to be a Hero. So it’s obvious
that we need to start finding a solution for this.
One
of the major reason could be, eroding culture and family values, somehow being
in South India, I had been surrounded by Strong women – When I mean strong
women, Women who had their views, who were more mature and Opinionated, These days
Strong Women are only considered as one who goes to Work, but it is or was
different in South India, where women where the Value representatives of the
House, they were the program Managers who guided Men when it comes to Values
but it is getting eroded as we pass from one generation to another, These days
women are more content to carry out daily chores and hardly give importance to
knowledge they get from their Ancestors. Now, Why it’s important to Women still
continue the Values? It is because Men are more prone to listen or follow the
way their Mom or Sister lead them, and
this very influencing at early age of their life, what greater value education
a person can get than the guidance from their Moms and Sisters. To some extent
North India is more patriarchal
society where Men is more dominant and does not give their Women the
right to influence their kids. And it’s more important for Parents, who have
sons, to develop proper values in their sons, and it’s equally important that
they pass these values to their daughters as well.
Another
major reason could be is the Exposure to media, We are seeing a generation
which has been exposed to TVs, Movies and all kinds of media at a very early stage of life, and to be
realistic where are not handling it well, the management of Content or Censor
is not very effective, problem is we see the transforming of Content from the
elitist point of view, where most people who debate or bring content Censorship
are mostly educated and manage their kids well, but Most of the viewers who
seeing the content are from lower economic class, with immature education , how
do they handle the content is something is very different from what is
perceived at the higher end, hence the Policies should always be at the root
level representatives rather from the higher Babus, for eg:- giving the free
laptop or TVs is the most easiest option of gaining Votes, but can the people
who receive it are prepared to handle it?.. They are lot of questions than
Answers.
There
may be many symptoms, but the problem is always how a child is bought up in a
society with Values, Man will not Change his Animal Instinct, it’s how he
controls it through his Values is very important to eliminate such crimes.
