Women: Despite The Falling Stature...

India stand fourth in the list of "The country unsafe for Women". The women in India are afraid to go out at night. Most men treat women as their commodity and are given low stature in the society. Even the good women drivers are considered bad and the worst men drivers are given 'benefit of being men'. It is very disheartening to see women are having such a hard time taking pure, safe, respected breath in a country where the women are considered as goddess. Where little girls are worshiped(girl child are very much in demand during navratras or keertans... still the percentage is worse).

Yeah... i know... we hear it a lot and probably are doing something about it or not but here I am not going to repeat the same story. I don't want to make girls feel bad about being a 'girl'. Despite all the negative things..its worth being a women in India...
