Bangalore mass molestation case shook the nation few days back on New Year's Eve and the CCTV footage that went viral few days back showing the reality of where our society is heading to and I must share this which is even more shameful.
That CCTV footage was shared by some page on Instagram and I was going through the comments and saw a comment there. A guy had commented "see time in the video guys it's 2:41 AM, this was bound to happen". i was like, "what the...?'

well, This is the mindset of our society that a girl must not leave her house at night or else she herself will be blamed if anything bad happens and "Believe me", This victimization is the worst kind of cruelty.
But, who is to be blamed? I guess we outrage against only selected few incidents? Like we did in Delhi Gang Rape case and now this case, only because media and social media highlighted these two? It's because I was watching that CCTV Footage and it can be clearly seen that random pedestrians were there but nobody dared to help that girl.
Still, I would request media to Highlight such issues as more as they can, only then we will stay awake and will try to address these issues or else we will continue to sleep. But, you know what?
If news regarding molestation, crime against women is shown on some news channel, 80% will just switch their channel. It's because they don't want their innocent kids to watch the same. I mean, Innocent Kids? really? That's Indian society for you.

What's even more shameful is comments like "such incidents do happen” or women dressing like westerners etc. Especially, when these words are of people's representatives. Needless to say, These idiotic statements harm even more.
Not only this, more cases of Molestation Reported In Bengaluru last week. If the condition of Country's IT Hub Bengaluru is this pathetic, what can we expect about other cities?
The most disheartening thing is, if we see the CCTV Footage the girl in the video could not fight back properly. Though, she tried to slap the guy but that wasn't sufficient as the suspects were more in number.
But, Girls are in no way weaker than Boys, That's for sure. It is merely because, from years girls have considered themselves as physically weaker than boys. It is mere an illusion of our mind because it is the mind which is everything.
This our own mind can make us or break us. Women should break this illusion and fight back because we may make whatever laws or recruit as many policemen as we can, but still it will be of no use unless the victims do not fight back because the reason is obvious, policemen can not stay present everywhere all the time as it is impractical.

Section 100 of the Indian Penal Code talks about Private Defence: A Right Available To All People in India which gives this right to every individual that he can fight back in his/her defence.
Society as a whole must change this mindset that women are weak and women only can play a major role in doing this by refusing to be a victim and fighting back.
However, Police have done commendable job by arresting the suspects and that too suo motu. These persons should be made to face trial and be punished in accordance with law.
These incidents shows the real face of Indian youth but still we need to make sure that we make our mind as such these incidents must not happen again, even in our weirdest possible dreams.
