Freedom? Huh?! What did you ask for?

Hey! People ,what's up except the ceiling!

Okay, I know that was certainly a PJ but leave it.... This topic is a bit different from what you think, Yup it's not all about freedom its related to the problem faced by many of the Indian teenage girls, restrictions imposed by their parents the ones who have experienced it will find the article interesting others and others will certainly enjoy it more!

Lets get started then....?

As i am a resident of India, I have always seen girls with a number of restrictions imposed on them... Some are not allowed to wear western clothes and some are not allowed to go out alone at night...

A bit of freedom, is what these indian girls ask for to enjoy their life to its fullest... But no, we cannot even allow that to them, you know exactly what i mean? Right?! Parents generally give girls the basic and most appropriate excuse to restrict girls and in a way, having the remote control of a girl's life by saying that "it's not safe outside" or " you are a girl, we care for you and we love you alot".

The point turns out to be the safety of women, so which species is a danger to females in India? Yaa exactly , Males. (Some)Males are a danger to females, let me enlighten your mind by stating a fact that, men is a species which are born out of the womb of a female only, but some or I can say many forget the value of a female over time. I know that feels sad. Did you forget to pay respect to God, after your birth?! No, right? then why this with females? your mother is also a female, the one you catcalled the last time was also a female.... Is it so hard to pay respect to her and let her live her life peacefully? 

Lets take up an example.....

Imagine you live in a colony where there is a house with this pet dog, Now this dog is allowed to roam wherever it wants to and it bites anyone it wants to.... And now it has become a big problem in your colony What will you do to solve the problem? Will you stop moving out of your house? Or Do you think the pet owners will themselves not let their dog roam around freely outside its house? The second option is the correct option logically but our Indian society believes in the 1st option blindly... Consider the dog as all those men (only those men who are a danger to women, not all... p.s i believe in equality) because of whom girls cant step outside their houses.

The Indian society chose a FOOLISH, yes, You heard me, a FOOLISH solution to the problem. Keeping men at home by saying that you are a threat to our Indian women and changing their mindsets is a difficult option so we chose the easier one to suppress girls and lock them inside their house for the rest of their life...... you know what this proves?! This proves that INDIAN PARENTS LACK GUTS! Oh Yes! They do..... Have you ever heard a parent saying "Son, be back at home by 8pm" or leave this, I say , Why should anyone have to go through so many restrictions??? Break these bars and live and let live others peacefully...

It's not protection, it's restriction.

You know, parents can and should teach their boys and girls about these issues from childhood, Like why can't we make our girls aware of these issues from childhood itself? and our boys, to respect women! and while they grow, according to their age, we can make them aware about different topics, there are many..... Like at the age of 10, you can make your girl aware of how it is important to speak up, about each and every problem which she is facing....... At the age of 16, you can train her to be strong and how to fight back instead of asking her to wear so called "appropriate" clothes. Similarly, for a boy, you can teach him about how it is certainly NOT cool to eve tease a female, or to get physically involved with a girl without her consent and how it is his duty to respect and protect female, to make this society a better place for her to live.......  

That's all.

Thank You!
