Midnight Bold & Beautiful

Midnight Bold & Beautiful

Since the dawn of 2008 Indian news papers are being published with news of abuse behavior with women and girl even the year end of 2007 was not free from this kind of news, as in the Mumbai, city with fame of being safe for women, two girls, who after midnight come out from the New Year celebrations being held at near by star hotel for a walk on sea shore were fall pray to abuse action by moss. It seems, at least appear from the various news headlines in the year so for that diversified culture, traditions and customs are finding their union point in shameful actions of eve teasing and abused behavior with women and girls.

Why the women are not safe? Why they are forced to go under the situations of abuse behavior here and there and that too in a country with long history of respecting women, rather worshiping the feminine powers in the form of various Goddesses? Are the few question will can put a question mark on sociality of any human society. It is the fact that incidents of eve teasing and abuse behavior are on the higher sides than what are reported or find a place in the news headlines. Isolated incidents can be classified as the physic and actions of sick individual mind but surely when almost all corners of the country reports the similar kind of action it proves to be alarming and needs a proper attention after all we are living in a democratic set up with principles of equality and in the modern times high economic demands are not allowing Indians women to keep them limited within the four walls of the family. Servicing women has to travel, even at late night hours, meet and interact with people from the different sectors of the society. Surely this type of actions will result in demoralizing women and forced the country to foot back on the front of economical development. The probable three most significant reasons for these incidents are:
1. Transitional period for the Indian societies
2. Improper meaning of women liberation
3. Behavior of women or girls


Free India is still under the transitional mod for the adopting the modern life style based on complete freeness and equality among the both genders of human beings. Conventionally Indian women work areas were limited within the boundary walls of family but temptation of higher living standards and economic obligations of the modern times had forced her to step out and march shoulder to should with men in the monetary earning areas. This is proving a hard to digest food for the male dominated economic world of Indian societies as at several places women are marching to higher hierarchy of administration and thus resulted in being the reason of developing the inferiority complex among the men. Secondly still the Indian men had not developed the attitude of observing women at work place in the office and commercial establishments.

When the Indian women started to steep out from the four walls it prove a pleasant wind wave for them as since the centuries they were kept limited to some strict restrictions. The flow of breaking the traditions and social prohibitions was so strong that most of Indian [women and men] failed to get the measures and understand the meaning of women liberation in true sense, unfortunately the electronic media, exposing the western life style went on adding the confused and controversial vision towards the new life styles and subsequently for the women liberalization. In the blind trend of following the western world in aspect of freedom to women, under the broken status of social prohibitions Indian societies fall pray to dual metal status either to proceed further with the women liberalization of put the back foot on this front. Here the natural human tendency of welcoming the change, enter the arena to play the most important role and thus Indian women started to come with exploring with many new horizons of working out side the home. Revealing and exposing dresses were not remained to feminine world of cellulose silver screen but started to be part of day to day life of Indian women world. During all this an important thing the difference of social obligations, society structure and living styles of Indians and western world either conveniently kept forgotten or forced to remain behind the curtain.

Recently a read a news about the “one pm girls and women” of Delhi, though it was said in the news that majority of them are of the foreign origins but a considerable chunk of these belongs to native high society page three cultural and newly rich families, it fact the increasing number of these is the root cause of increased eve teasing and abuse behavior with women. Here I would like to quote one of my working women friend of late 80’s, according to her your prestige, pride and dignity at office and in the society is depending upon the liberty you allow to your self and to your friends during the interactions with each other. In the same news a village girls from the West Bengal working at Delhi was quoted with she never feel any fear or come across such incidents while moving alone on the Delhi roads even at late night hours or having an occasional drinks at bars of capital city. Though all this was abnormal in the early days of city life but soon I learned to enjoy the life at fullest as it is certain and essential to define some limitations for the self, I kept on preventing me from crossing these limitation and move freely.

I would like to conclude this with; lust is the ever increasing and never satisfying physical want of human beings since the centuries and centuries. Revealing and exposing dressed up women always proved temptation for the men; do we wish to give a message that women liberalization means the freedom from clothing’s only? Surely not, than please avoid those while moving in Indian societies, keep your self dignified and enjoy the life to its fullest.
