Resuming, one big question which no one asks, why people rape. Our sisters, friends, mothers, wives or any other relative feel insecure to go out alone. Why is it? If it was always like this, then why is it not changed? If we try to give a look around us, i feel that prostitution is one of those ways which can help this country. I mean, it’s one better way to stop women harassment, child molestation, and other evil practices. I am also not saying that we should associate to prostitutes, but it seems to be one way when we don’t have anything to lose. Many European nations have this prostitution business legalized, and surprisingly the rate of such crimes is far more lower than our country.
Please allow me to tell a small story.
Kallu returns to his small one room hut, every night, broken by the weight of hammer he strikes to break stones at the quarry, he is smoking since the age of 12 and drinking since 13, he is 33 years old now, has 4 children, married twice, his first wife died during giving birth to his third child, and the second wife will be dead in some time due to poverty. His father use to work at the same quarry, when one day he died out of excessive drinking problems, and then he was forced to work to bought up his poor family. He is working there for about two decades now. In the beginning, when his shoulders and back pained, one fellow suggested him to drink. He found so much pleasure in it, all the pain was relieves at once, every tension was gone, he was feeling like a free flag again. He then got used to this so much, that now, if he don’t drinks, he feels pain all over his body. He has one elder daughter, three sons, one 10 years and one 6 years old. One kid from second wife is a toddler. Every night he comes home, he is drunk, all tired, but somewhere in the back of his mind, he is feeling this terrible time coming. His kids come to him asking for money, but the money is gone, all in drinking. Toddler making noises, wife abusing kids asking for food. What else she could do, there is no god damn food, she already has so much tensions. Kallus whole life rewinds, he saw this before, with his father, with himself. He is so disturbed, by the pain, by the noises, by the constant abusing of his wife, he is tensed, because he is left with no money, because he is not satisfied with his life. He thought of making love with his wife, which will be like a force from one side and like a unwilling agreement from other side, but this will bring more kids, more problems, more tension, already a girl is getting young, basti boys have started following her, he is bounded. He see that all the problems are coming after him, and will leave him after his death. He tries to run, but they are everywhere, he get up on bed, beat his children, beat his wife. This happens every day. One day he kills all, and suicides.
This is one story, you may feel that that was more because of poverty than the feeling of having sex, but how about this?
Ravi is an assistant engineer in a private firm, earns good, enough to live happily. He is married for five years and has three kids. His salary is increasing day by day, he is doing fine, but he beats his wife, harasses her. May be, he is not satisfied. Or maybe he share same fear for the future like kallu.
The fact is that married men are not mentally satisfied from their wives, and some little tensions can lead to miserable results.
Coming back to the rapes and molestations, most of the guys involved are unemployed, young, unmarried, and misguided, having a thirst from the within, and when in a desert, one would do anything to quench his thirst.
Once I attended this show, where one president of a Hindu party was addressing people on the issue of Valentine Day. I remember these words of him “ In western countries, woman is a thing of use, a thing of exploitation, a thing to enjoy and forget, while in India, we consider woman ad our sister, our mother, we worship women” The same Mr. President was grilled for 15 days in a rape case, this may, after about a year and half and he got easy bail because of his politics connections. I don’t think I need to say any further.
Let’s consider that Mr. P was drunk and he did all this out of innocence, and that what he said at that show was correct, then also, what justice are we doing to women? We are worse than animals.
Enough talk on the side of common man, let me tell u this story about a prostitute hema, I saw her on a news channel. Her clients often beat her, she termed this as “OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD”. One day one client broke her arm and stabbed her in between her legs because he was not satisfied. She went to police, but police let her down because Mr. Ambedkar did not thought that one day this condition will come, and according to police, she was doing illegal job.
Now, compiling all this, what do we learned. Hema was also a woman, she was harassed, she could have been killed though this incident ended her career, but she was harassed too, like millions of other women, some prostitutes, some housewives, some daughters, some mothers. It’s all happening already, and it’s not gonna stop, so if we have nothing to lose, why not legalize the prostitution. It will help prostitutes too; it will help millions of women. If there are some laws, on which some old chaps are running this country, add one more. What’s wrong?? It’s not gonna affect anything, this are worse than worst, AIDS,HIV are already in this country, this will bring awareness among people, to use proper protection. Government can spend millions to bring “SEX EDUCATION” in text books, but that’s not gonna help those who are illiterate, because they are the one needing some serious education.
