Plight of a Woman !!!!















Pooja Chauhan - A name that stands for strength and Courage , according to me . Pooja , 22 year old house wife in the conservative Rajkot district of Gujrat , dispelled her anger and frustration in a different way from how other people do.

Unable to tolerate the continuous torchure for dowry by her in-laws and her husband , and also the deaf ear of the police . Pooja walked in her undergarments to the police station at Rajkot to draw the attention of the police and the law. Pooja in an interview said she did this to embarras her in-laws and her husband !

The question here is : Is it necessary for an Indian Woman to be heard only when she strips half naked in front of others ?? Why isnt the Government and the Law Enforcing Authorities not doing anything to listen to the plight of our people?

This made National Headlines and her pic was carried in all the newspapers and leading magazines !!!
Why is it that only when there is a show of flesh and blood does the Government and Media respond so quickly ??

The solution i think lies in the people in the LAW to be more sensitive and react to the needs of the people before they resort to such extreme measures .

Provoked




According to the dictionary the meaning of provoked is to stir up , to enrage and yah most recently the name of a new film based on the true life story of Kiranjet Aluwalia. Most of you wud have either seen the movie or atleast read abt it somewhere in the papers, after watching the movie , I had these thoughts in my mind is/was Kiran the only woman to have faced domestic violence? There are many more women all over the world who face the same problems and tortures every day.

Kiran is just one of those few who by the help of a few friends and society was able to come out and fight back. Dont u think that we women must fight back aginsyt the injustice done to us by men?And to men : why do u always consider women as lower than u and not in par with u? why??Waiting for ur comments!!
