DEATH OF HUMANITY

DEATH OF HUMANITY

16 December 2014, I was driving to my workplace and all I could hear on the radio  was people mourning  about the heinous incident that took place 2 years ago on the same date. As we all know "THE NIRBHAYA RAPE CASE".

Two long years have passed by, I want to ask u all: Do u see an effective change around? Do you feel safer? Has your country become a better place to live in?

Personally, I have not witnessed much change around me. Rather, the rape cases have increased a myriad number. The no. of molestations and eve teasers has also multiplied. The terror in women all over the country has reached the boiling point.  

This day, that year, humanity was questioned and now it has been killed FOREVER . Yes, I am talking about the Peshawar attack where the children went to school and never came back.

We've always believed that jingoism has led to such brutal crimes, but this incident has proved that even terrorism has no religion.

Only they would know what they have fetched by killing those innocent souls. What memories will these young minds cherish about their own home country?

A small boy when asked to narrate the incident to a reporter, he said, "One day Inshallah, I am going to kill these bastards for attacking us. I will shoot them down? What wrong have we done?"  

So what we conclude from the above episode.

What I see is that more than moaning about the death of his fellow classmates, his blood is boiling seeking vengeance. This is nothing but the harbinger of terrorism in it deepest form.

As they say, SMALLEST COFFINS ARE THE HEAVIEST.

It’s the need of the hour that all of us leaving behind cast, creed and religion should join hands to curb terrorism from its roots.

"Some Wounds Don't Heal"

Child abuse, not only a physical or sexual but an emotional harassment of a child , is the most recent crime that has taken a toll all over the world.

How can a person with a sane
mind be so ruthless and 
inhuman to a child? How can a person stoop so low as to not spare a child who is considered to be so pure, so godlike?

In most countries especially India people were not and are still not aware of such an act. Such cases are mostly suppressed by families because  they generally involve relatives or friends associated , and in some cases the family knowingly tries to avoid action because of the societal pressure. Child abuse can occur at home , or in the organisations, schools or communities the child interacts with. There are four major categories of child abuse : neglect , physical abuse , psychological or emotional abuse and sexual abuse. Child abuse leads to lack of trust-building and can create relationship difficulties in children . They get trouble regulating their emotions and tend to become an abuser when they grow up because they have faced brutal situations in their childhood.

It is high time we realize that this is  the biggest offence that can be committed in this world where humanity still exists.
Children must be made aware to protect themselves and act in the required way. You can become aware of child abuse by recognizing these signs in your children like unexplained injuries , fear of going home, changes in eating, sleeping disorder, changes in school performance, inappropriate sexual behaviour . In the last decade, Bollywood movies like PAGE 3, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ,HIGHWAY highlighted this issue effectively leaving a marked influence on the audience.

Also children going through this should be given special attention n counselling so as to overcome their fears and live a happy n free-spirited life. 

In 1996, CHILDLINE INDIA FOUNDATION (CIF) launched CHILDLINE, the country's first toll-free tele-helpline for street children in distress.
CHILDLINE 1098 SERVICE is a service initiated by this foundation so as to help children in the need of the hour.
