Ok...Why do we always manage to miss the fine print? Ok, India might be light years away from what this slutwalk aims to achieve, but how does that give us 'intellectuals' the right to put this 19 year old girl down? And what makes us think this is about the woman's right to dress any way she wants? Really?<br /><br />There was some news recently about some gram panchayat making it mandatory for every girl in some villages/towns in the vicinity to not to wear jeans and not use mobile phones. And the article quoted a girl saying 'i'm ok with the jeans part, but i don't understand not being allowed to use the mobile part.' <br /><br />And i don't see the govt do anything about it, i don't see any blogs on it, nor any suggestions from the self proclaimed intellectuals. No, we'll just sit tight until someone with balls does something, and then we'll vocally disalign ourselves with the movement. <br /><br />This Walk won't change anything, i'll give you that. For there are people who wouldn't be able to relate to what's being said. But imagine the possibility of some girls getting inspired by this 19 year old, and then wanting to set things right. Is that not a good thing? Will that not have a cascading effect? Hope is better than a white flag, on any given day.<br /><br />Who knows, this girl might just be getting started! Who're we to write her off? Why don't we do the same thing to our sisters and daughters?<br /><br />I've tried maintaining neutrality to this issue, because i don't think its gonna be effective. But there's a lady journalist Seema Goswami who got me worked up. She's one of those journalists who're busy writing bullshit rather than educating the masses about the meaning and significance of this event.Sumitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445604088553300714.post-84800023762967108792011-06-24T23:45:51.313+05:302011-06-24T23:45:51.313+05:30i think most men are indifferent to the dress a wo...i think most men are indifferent to the dress a women wears. they don't care whether she is wearing a saree or a chudidar or jeans. all they want is to tease her. not even 100 such protests would make any difference to them. they'd enjoy it thinking its a free show for them rather than trying to understand the underlying meaninggayathrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287216232299564739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445604088553300714.post-935901400968617762011-06-24T23:21:05.563+05:302011-06-24T23:21:05.563+05:30The disparity has been an issue since decades.The ...The disparity has been an issue since decades.The Outcry is really big about this issue.There are other real concerns pulling INDIA down since decades.Typical rural Indian women may not even understand the Meaning of a "Slut Walk".It's Good as far as speaking out about one's own right but aping western style doesn't do any good to this country.Western style never has strong ethics, Culture, Heritage India has been enjoying since centuries.So a dumb guy who made a comment in Canada (In western countries they is no rich culture)shouldn't be brought to India.We need not necessarily and strongly connect to it.Let's<br />understand the unique & Flawless identity India has.Women are much respected in our country.If you still find it correct to stage a protest do it religiously and let's not dilute it with publicity and perceptions.Bharadwajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489252088058022526noreply@blogger.com
