CONCERN   FOR  WOMEN  SAFETY

Macaulay captured the root of our strength of cultural heritage when he said the BRITISH EMPIRE needed to destroy the spiritual treasure of our country to rule it................and I  think he is ruling still in our sub-concious mind. The violation of women safety and dignity is  growing rapidly in our country.There is not a single day when we  do not hear the news of incidence of violence against women.There is ‘LEGAL ILLITERACY, among women as well as in the society, needed  to combat this violation.

                  It’s really painful even to think that  we have become such  a  draconian society today. We even forget our basic humanitarian values and skill . Have we become such an evil and  irresponsible society that we need laws to behave as human being not as beast ? What message we are going to give to this world? Is Vivekananda’s dream of making India a ‘SPIRITUAL GURU’ can ever become true ? Though the centre’s decision to take responsibility for the sale of acid and rehabilitation of victims is a welcome move and the criminal amendment act of 2013,passed in the aftermath of recommendations made by justice JS VERMA commission following the gang-rape and murder of a 23-year old woman in December 2012, recognised acid violence as a separate offence that now carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment and a fine.This is an excellent development but most concern for how to change the devil mentality of those people who are committing such heinous crimes.

            There is neen to improve our impression on international platform  on the concern of women’s safety. Recently, Annette G Beck-Sickinger , a German university professor, rejected an Indian student’s application for internship,citing the “rape problem in India”(German professor lands in India rape soup, March10). Though the German ambassador to India, Michael Steiner, has denounced the professor’s statement, yet it clearly shows the impression of INDIA and its citizens abr  oad.

         Mental  cleansing      in our society has become demand of our time and it’s only possible when we enhance moral education among youth. Sometimes bad literature, bad advertisements bad cinemas also detoriate the  moral health of our society. There should be censorship on immoral socially polluting, advertisements and films.Time has come to rejuvenate our spiritual treasure and wash all the immoral spots on  MOTHER EARTH through our rich cultural heritage.
