Recent studies show the prevailing situation in the “free” india reports an average of 88 rape cases per day, 500 acid attack cases in the year 2019, 86percent women facing domestic violence in 2018-19. This is the freedom the women of the country have, safety, is not a part of their lives, even in their own houses they are getting abused and violated constantly. This is the reality of the country where women are worshiped in the temples but raped, murdered, threatened and beaten on the other hand.
Recent case in delhi, showed how a women was brutualy raped by her own husband on the streets just because she wanted to follow her career. This is the freedom, women got, where they are not even allowed to choose how they want to live.
Moreover when it comes to the people we choose for the well being of the country, they’re also caught blaming women for the violence women face, according to mr. Kailash Vijayvargiya, minister in madhya pradesh state government, “if the limit of morality is crossed by women, such cases will happen”, mr. Mulayam singh yadav comments that “boys make mistakes, they shouldn’t be hanged for this”. The politician we expect to provide us safety, justice and equality are here blaming women for the violence they face. This is the real face of india: a free country but not free for women to choose their paths and stand for themselves.
