Women Power

Great news


For the last couple of months women are making headlines on front page of every national newspaper and obviously on Prime Slot in every "24 x 7" News Channel.

Here are few headlines from first page.


  • Indian Air force declared our president Mrs. Pratibha Devisingh Patil fit for fly in fighter jet.

  • Chief Minister of Delhi Mrs. Sheela Dikshit Flag off Metro from Delhi to Noida.

  • Chief Minister of U.P. Ms. Mayawati Flag off Metro from Noida to Delhi.

  • Kareena Kapoor is in news for Kurbaan.

  • Sonia Gandhi inaugurated Rajiv Gandhi Setu (Bandra Worli sea link) in Mumbai.

Many More..


Now let’s pick city page. Amazingly for years women were always in news in this part of every newspaper and obviously not in the prime hours of our "24 x 7" Media.


  • Another case of gang rape of 12 year old girl in Delhi.

  • 22 year old girl committed suicide due to frequent dowry demand.

  • Young girl found dead in mysterious condition for marrying out of cast.

  • A mother of two kids burnt alive for dowry

  • Girls from North East states are easy target for rape hunters.

  • Group of goons picked teenage girl in car.


Many More...


If I include all the incidents of eve teasing, harassment, chain snatching etc. then a minimum of 200 pages of news paper will be required on daily basis.


Incidents I mentioned are all from Delhi. You can imagine what kind of life women are living in rest of country. Be it is in public transport, footpath, school, college everywhere story is same. There is a major increase of phobia among girls.


I Wish..


May every man has a daughter..

May every man has a sister..

May every girl a has mother - in - law like her mother and vice - versa

Death penalty for rapist


I strongly feel until there's a public commitment, and action to back that commitment, any law or policy will only be words on paper.


Don't Forgot


Life on the planet is born of woman.
