Of late, I have been witnessing a very disturbing increase in the crime against females, be a girl child, a teenager, or an adult woman. It has almost become the order of the day. Newspapers are replete with such news. No doubt, India has been placed at parity with Afghanistan as the worst countries for a female to born in. Sometimes, I guess, had it been there in the past too but very less reported?.. or the mind set of the Indian male is becoming less human, devoid of any compassion and respect for the other gender, and is also becoming fearless of the Indian Law!
So, I fancied an idea to let the world know the dark side of "Being a Female in India."
Let there be the consciences shaken, people of all walks do some soul searching..take a pause and raise their voice, wherever they are, against the atrocities being meted out to girls and women, with a result that cruelity against the female gender starts receding, and we give to our generations to come a society where a woman is respected in its true essence-as as wife, as a sister, as a mother, as a grand mother et al..is the sole objective of this blog.
Amen.

Girl student 'gagged' for four hours in school TNN | Jun 28, 2012, 12.16AM IST


HYDERABAD: In an alleged incident ofcorporal punishment, a Class 9 student's mouth was reportedly plastered by the school authorities between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm on Wednesday. The punishment was meted out to her as she was 'caught' talking to her classmate by the school principal, her father alleged.
The victim, Syeda Sadaf Fatima, aged around 14 years, is a student of Sam British High School, Noorkhan Bazaar. Sources said that after the principal Afroze Mazher caught her talking, she instructed the class teacher Sajida Begum to plaster Sadaf's mouth. Soon after the school got over, Sadaf reportedly went home crying and complained to her parents about the inhuman treatment meted out to her by the school authorities.
Her father Syed Mujtaba lodged complaint with the Dabeerpura police station. Sadaf could not even eat her lunch, her family members alleged. Subsequently, Afroze Mazher was taken into custody and a case under Section 341 and 323 (wrongful restraint and assault or criminal force on the girl student). Y Rajasekhar, inspector, Dabeerpura said that the investigation is on and based on the inquiry, action would be initiated. But the school authorities blatantly denied that they had given any such a punishment. "It is totally wrong. We are being blackmailed by the girl's father. They have threatened to shut down our school," Afroze Mazher, principal, told TOI.
