More thoughts on Juhu incident

Some more thoughts on the Juhu molestation issue. Sadly, courtesy Steve Bucknor, this matter will begin to fade from the newspapers and TV screens. I wish it was so forgettable. In my previous post I must have seemed to some as coming across as rather drastic in my views.
I do not think so. Once the seriousness of the issue sinks in, I think I am justified to hold the opinion I do.

I mean we talk we talk of empowering women all the time. And when a woman is molested in full public gaze, her bottom pinched, and her body parts fondled; do we forget it after a few days? That would show our hypocrisy. Molestation is rape, maybe a milder form. But it is an attack on a woman.

The Juhu incident has placed a fear of stepping out of home. Most ladies maybe consciously unaware of it; but in the deep corners of the psyche it has established itself.

That is why I say it is vital that the goons must be punished severely. The harm they have done to the collective female psyche is enormous.

Juhu molestation: What about the deep mental wounds?

They call it the "Juhu molestation" case. I think it is a monstrosity. An blatant attack on women. This incident is going to have far-reaching implications for Indian society.

Next time a young woman prepares to step out of the house, even for a small errand, she will be warned gently by her family, "be careful."

The goons not only insulted the modesty of those NRG women, they have struck a massive blow to the collective psyche of Indian women.

The Juhu incident has inserted itself in the deepest recesses of the mind of all women in the form of a fear, irrational perhaps. And fear is the biggest enemy of confidence.

The Mumbai police is treating this case as another molestation case. I think it should be treated more gravely. It has scarred the minds, not only of those unfortunate women, but of all Indian women.

When we realise the gravity of the case, I feel we should learn something from the Chinese (Ironically they are trying to erase this tradition). Those guilty of serious crimes are paraded through the streets and then shot. The Juhu culprits deserve the same.

Then next time such monsters will think thrice even before leering at women.
