Answer:
On the eve of independence I started my day browsing on the internet and searching for the literal meaning of the word Independence and this is what I found, ‘Self-governance’, ‘Self-sufficiency’, ‘Freedom’, ‘Liberty’, then a thought popped up in my mind, ‘Are we really Independent?’
Is it enough being a constitutionally independent country? Are we living with complete freedom, are we really liberated? These are the few questions we have to to ponder upon…
It’s been more than 65 years since we are free from the clutches of British rule in India. Today standing here after 65+ years, do our women feel the freedom, freedom from the atrocities against them? Are our kids safe today? Do our students have the freedom to select the career they want? Do we have freedom from caste discrimination? Have we got the freedom from the communal tensions in our country? Have we got the freedom from the corruption? Have we got the freedom from all those corrupt, criminal politicians? Have we at least got the freedom from our basic problems like poverty and unemployment? If your answer is No then we need to revisit our belief on being free and independent?
Violence against women is increasing day by day. It has been a prominent topic of discussion in recent days. Rape, female feticide, acid attacks, domestic violence, dowry deaths, honor killings, forced abortion, human trafficking, sexual violence, forced prostitution and the list goes on and on. Unfortunately the percentages of these crimes are increasing every year. If we believe Wikipedia and national crimes records bureau of India, REPORTED incidents of crime against women has been increasing every year. These reports also say that every three minutes a woman is subjected to some kind of violence in our country. In 2012 alone there were total of 2,44,270 cases of crimes against women REPORTED. I am highlighting the word REPORTED because there are equal numbers of cases that go unreported in India.
