The recent headline about a man locking up his wife in a bathroom is shocking evidence of the existing deep-rooted patriarchy. How behind are we in the race to equality?
This news shocked everyone. Today again, there was one more news item, which showed how women are taken for granted and don’t get the respect at least of being a human. How ridiculous a person can be is depicted by this news.
An incident like Hathras rape case depicts how victims and their families are treated and clearly shows that we are far way from accepting the fact that women are also a human beings – they are supposed to be loved and respected. This has been observed since our ancient times.
The time of Sitaji and Draupadi, both have set an example for future generations to respect women. After various sacrifices, love and respect is not guaranteed- Sitaji has almost spent her life in jungle with her sons. After doing so many sacrifices, she was doubted by her husband and at last she was left with no option but to leave the place permanently and go with her mother.
From that time, it has been accepted that the place called earth is not safe for women. In this recent news where the husband locked his wife in toilet-who gave him the right to do same? Did he become the owner of his wife after getting married? And after getting caught he claims that mental condition of his wife is not well!
How can someone think this way? How have you had three children despite of knowing that the women with whom you are planning your future with is mentally unwell? At least try to have some humanity.
For how long a woman is supposed to be treated like a thing- keep it when you like or else throw it. If she is not behaving the way you want her to behave, threaten her or rape her. Women are men’s property and after marriage, you have society’s approval- she isn’t allowed to speak up against you or refuse anything.
It’s time for us to raise our voices, unite and try to change the laws that are so cruel to women. These are the times when women are educated and trying to prove themselves in this man’s world. If we are not going to try to change the laws, then time will fly and nothing will change.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
