Starts with same letter Rakhi and Rape, but different intentions
Yesterday, I was in Metro was enjoying the journey back to Noida.
There were rakhis tied on every hands, seems everyone had enjoyed this auspicious
festival that reflects the strength of bond between brother & sister. I too
enjoyed the festival of bonds with my sisters. While enjoying the ride, a question
kept on banging my head and left me unanswered. If everyone has a sister/s, may
be a real or cousin but still they have a relation and shares a strong bond of
care, love, happiness, understanding, nemesis and best partners in crime. Then
why there are increasing numbers of eve-teasing, Rapes and female foeticide.
This question took me back into my childhood, the day when I
visited my dog – Bruno. We had a dog but we sold him when he was of 4 years. Actually
we had kid at our home, which used to crawl on the floor and my grandfather
suggested that’s not good if we keep dog because dog and the child shares the
same playground i.e. floor. One day when I was missing Bruno, my father took me
to meet the dog. The moment my father pressed the bell, Bruno came out and saw
us. He started jumping in joy all across the porch.\
As soon as his new owner opened the gate, Bruno with full of
love and joy jumped over my father. He came and met me as well but didn’t jump
over me. On the way back to home, I asked my father about Bruno’s behavior. My
father said that as you were wearing half pants, so dog didn’t jump over you
but I was wearing full pants, Bruno kept jumping over me. So if a dog, who is
an animal can differentiate then why a man can’t differentiate. Why a man gets
so attracted and mad over slight nudeness? When everyone has love for his
sister, then why it doesn’t show-up before teasing or raping a girl.
