India's Daughter, Mother, Sister or Woman

I watched the video and was shocked. First of all I don’t know the reason why Indian government banned it but in my point of view it an unbiased analysis of the whole situation from the rape case to Indian culture and women’s roll it Indian culture. It was just series of facts and interview. I ask everyone to give one hour of your time to this video. Watching this video a series of “what if” occurred to me.
What if the while making the law during the construction of constitution women and week were given extra care and protection?
What if women’s all over the world have protested for injustice at the very beginning when it all started?
What if law was already strong and properly influenced?
What if not a single criminal was allowed to get away from the very start?
What if the court wasn’t biased toward the rich and powerful?
What if the education was given equally to everyone?
What If sex education was made an important and necessary part of curriculum?
What if Indian society was not so blind by a myth that it’s so great and ideal?
What if instead of holding on to old and rotten thoughts we had accepted that the world has changed?
What if government was able to provide good facilities to everyone so that an eleven year old boy doesn’t have to run from home and become a seventeen year old rapist?
What if every child boy or a girl brought up equally?
There are a lot of what if in my mind right now. One thing remain the same. At some point of life somehow a man intentionally on unintentionally ill-treated a women. I know I have. I admit it and I apologies for it. But when a man who is already in death row for rape and murder doesn’t seems to have any regrets. It’s a horrible situation. He said all he did was to teach the girl a lesson. That women should not wear a certain type of clothing’s they should not go out of house after a certain time. We people of India talk about so proudly of our culture our heritage. Well all your culture have done for society is keep people from changing and keep half of the population in misery. I read two article on same day one was about vishwa hindu parishad or the VHP announcing that they won’t let girls wear jeans and make dupatta necessary for every college and school. And on the other article Pope decide to help children slaves to child labor. I gave this example because Indians have habit of blaming influence of western culture. The truth is we don’t know anything about them. When even the lawyer of the both side of the case talk same way as the rapist. And one has guts to say that he would publicly burn his daughter alive if she doesn’t follow the so called Indian tradition. Why are people like this have some say in society. Why aren’t they punished for talking like this on public? So that no one will dare speak like this in public. The right time for change was the first time a man try to molest a woman. now its too late but we still have to change.
Who asked these people to put their honor in a woman virginity? As all human being a woman should decide what she want to do, when she should get married, to whom she should get married,  what she should were, when and with whom she should sleep with it has to be her and her choice only. What other could do is suggest. But the last decisions should be her. Everyone stop forcing your methods your choices on other everyone is free. Everyone has right to be free.
All banning the video will do is stop people from talking about all these issues.
