I was a very Happy Child who used to watch Cartoons and then gradually shifted to Mtv (a music channel which plays music no more). With the passage of time, knowing about the worldly affairs became quite necessary and very reluctantly I started watching News and reading Newspapers.
Only then I could realise that the World is Harsher than the Brutal Roadies episode and Injustice, Poverty, Hunger are the problems which the people have been facing. Out of them all the most brutal of these is RAPE. It represents a sick mind Incorporated with Pervert Mentality and Human Objectification. Awareness about the worldly affairs and its shortcomings made me think- Why does this happen ? The only answer that I could get from others is that "The World is a Bitter Place to be in".
But I couldn't be convinced with just a generalised statement so I went on to think about their Root Cause and the Factors affecting the increasing Rape in our country.So I analysed it from the scratch. According to a Survey the Child Sex ratio has dropped down to 914 females per 1000 men in 2011. Female Foeticide rates in India increased by 49.2%.
The statistics are enough to tell us that it is our typical mentality that a male child is an asset and a female child is a burden, which has lead us to this situation. Families didn't prefer a girl child and therefore an imbalance was created between the sex ratio. So we had more number of males than females.
In our indian society which doesn't support live-in relationships and makes marriage almost a compulsory event, to have a dignified image in the society. Also then we have the great dowry system which then makes the girl child absolutely undesirable.
The rest of the males who were destined not to get married because of the Imbalance in the Scales had not even been given an opportunity to Mate. Those who were rich got to romantic places to channelise their extra energy, although being rich automatically made their survival easier. So the problem with the rest of the Indian males persisted.
With the advancement of technology in medical sector, we could determine the sex of the child but it proved as an Unnecessary Evil. It is we who started creating a disruption in the environmental cycle. Not that I am trying to defend those Ruthless people who are mentally unfit, but what if we can analyse the problem to permanently eradicate it.
No, I am not suggesting to legalise prostitution and run our economy with it. But if we stop knowing the sex of the child and stop female foeticide and save the girl child then we can make this world a better place to live. But just praising girl child will not help. We need to bring revolutionary changes in our society like treating the girl equally in every respect and give an equal chance for both the sexes to progress.
On further analysis our so called Bollywood which contributes $6.2 billion to our GDP has lowered its standards for a majority of population by Objectifying Women by introducing "Item Songs". This may seem a senseless point now but when you go to a low budget theatre and listen to what our movies have forced our men to think in a glorified manner, the need for an urgent change can be felt.
Its only we, the future generation of our country who can form Opinion and change the Mentality of the Society by having strong ethical standards of our own !!
