shame on mumbai

a mob of 70-80 men molesting 2 women on new years night, what are we trying to do? set a record or something or over power New Delhi in a single instance and prove that men in mumbai are bigger shameless fools. first, these men who showed off their bravery need to be caught, stripped, lashed and made to run naked on the streets of mumbai in broad day light. i am a mumbaikar, and have always taken pride in the fact that my city is of one of the safest metros for women in the country. a lady can take the last local from churchgate to virar, climb into a BEST bus full of men, walk alone from bandra station to hill road without any fear. i seldom worry if my female friends reach home late in the night or travel alone in the city. it comes from the innate belief that they are safe.
after all this is mumbai, here the feeling of brotherhood and comradeship is more than in anyother city in the country. i am residing presently in new delhi, i know what a horror this city can be to women, most of my female friends here have been through it and i have witnessed quite a few such incidents myself. and it puts me to shame to know that men in my country can be so disrespectful to women. i wonder that mothers, sisters, wives and daughters of those 70-80 men have been through the same indignation. if they have then the very least they can do is slap their men and teach them some more respect.
Mumbai must not go the New Delhi way, the police needs to act and fast. catch these people and punish them to set record straight for future offenders. after all one the very facts that we as mumbaikars take pride is in the safety that the city offers to its women. and as mumbaikars we must not allow the city to be defamed by such men. if anything the shiv sena should now take out a morcha and punish these offenders in their unique way and for once i will not be dissaprove of the action taken.
