But what respect are we giving the woman? Why is the woman paraded like this by the person supposed to marry her? Why or how was she forced to even perform this heinous act?
Recently I was shocked to read the article about Tehseen Poonawalla where he claims he slept with an industrialist’s wife and the industrialist watched it from far. I felt like vomiting. He claims that he was asked to sleep with this woman before she married the industrialist. This industrialist would watch from far and was not allowed to participate or touch anyone.
Tehseen speaks about this boldly without any shame or remorse. Every newspaper is writing about it.
But what respect are we giving the woman? Why is the woman paraded like this by the person supposed to marry her? Why or how was she forced to even perform this heinous act? How could she be compelled to marry this sick minded industrialist after this? And what gives Tehseen the right to reveal this at all? Why are we as society not banning or condemning Tehseen?
It is so hurtful to see how women, irrespective of anything else in their lives, are still being showcased as puppets and sex objects.
Tehseen shockingly claims he was trying out sex acts with her while this industrialist watched from far. I am stunned and saddened. The poor woman must have been so helpless as her body was paraded around like a showpiece. I feel horrified that we live in this society where a shameless and sick person like Tehseen is allowed to come on a TV show and is also considered a person whose opinions are listened to. It shows we still have no respect for the woman and her mind and body – the casualness with which he spoke about it is proof.
It reminds me of another incident I heard about where a famous jewelry businessman shared his wife with his brother for sexual favours. It was so sad as they all come from very rich families. This woman luckily fought back and got justice. But it again raises this question – what is the use of the education of such sick men when they treat women like toys and feel they can do whatever they want with them? We need to fight for each and every woman and treat their bodies with respect. They are not toys. They have feelings and emotions. They are sacred.
I love to write on women's issues. I strongly believe that every woman is capable of being more than just a homemaker. They are the leaders of our world. They can multi-task more read more...

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.
