Slapping a woman…against Indian culture…

Woman is worshipped and given a status of God in the Hindu culture in India. It is said that God resides in places where a woman is respected. But time and again a woman is either abused or tormented physically or mentally…at both familial level and also away from home at her place of employment. It is not that all do it…but atleast some do it to exhibit their false prestige, status or egoism.

I as an educated and a professional woman and family member would strongly condemn the act of a reputed movie director in Kannada film industry slapping an actress on floor of his movie. A hot issue in the news yesterday night is the assault made by reknowned movie maker and director in Kannada film industry…Nagatihalli Chandrashekar slappin his heroine Aindrita Roy on the floor of his movie..Nooru Janmakoo..being finishing its final shots at Singapore. The actress has come blue and red on the director and had complained of physical and mental assault on her from the director. At the same time the director is defending himself giving reasons for him to lose his cool…backed up by his movie unit.

Whatever may be the reason….i feel that the respect of the woman…either a child or a middle aged girl or an aged woman should be safe gaurded by everyone around her. Abusing and slapping or hitting a woman is not a part of our culture. May be it is a mistake of the pampered generation of today and their hot blood which makes them indisciplined at times. But hitting is no answer. Being elders we can correct our kids in many ways…many times a cool talk will come handy. Parents too should educate and guide their children with social responsibility.

But incidents like this which come into our vision every now and then is disgracing and shameful. If responsible males in our life may be at family or outside are not safe gaurding our rights and respect…we should louden our voice against it…and wait for a realisation to come over along with responsibility. I am not giving a biased statement because i am a woman…the incident may be true on either side or may be a publicity gimic…but the fact is Women should be respected…AND OUR CULTURE SHOULD BE SAFE GUARDED……………
