Well i dont know how to judge her. I am thinking from 2 different angles. When ever her name comes i feel something happens inside me. Some sort of a feeling for her. I dont know how to name it. I dont know whether i actually support her, but one thing is for sure, i agree with what she writes. Though she belongs to a very different community and country but somethings are common.
Taslima's name is not unknown to us. She is a feminist, well thats how ppl percieve her. Not me. Well i read few of her books. Lajja was a book on the Hindu Muslim riots and " My girl hood" a book on her experiences. I dont think there is anything wrong abt writing something which is actually happening or has happened in the society. When people can do it then why cant they read about it. Truth is always hard to accept.
Well the sexual exploitaion of girls is something which atleast i dont deny. No matter how much ppl try to defend saying that it happens only in news and books...but i say it happens and happens everyday.
If i start naming the places where girls are harrassed, most of the guys will be shocked. Most of them will bend their head coz of shame. Wanna know how a girl faces shits everyday...
On the Roads: Guys staring at her. Following her. Passing dirty comments.
In the Bus: cheapsters try to touch her...push her and if she turns back to scold they easily escape by telling that its crowded. She doesnt open her mouth coz she doesnt want to create a scene in public. ( i wonder if these cheapsters have mother and sisters in their home...how do they treat them? Do they touch their sis like they do with other females in the buses?)
In the Office: Colleagues passing cheap comments and jokes.
Home: well what we assume to be the safest place rite...hmmm safest... monsters are in some homes also. Little girls are harrased by their uncles, strange but true.
And the last but not the least: People who go to the religious leaders and join some associations lead by some great ppl (i dont want to name them). These leaders hypnotise and make them do what they actually want. Person goes to temple and religious leader for seeking peace and guidance...but inturn gets exploited. So u see how safe we are in our society.
Thats one angle but as usual there is another side of the coin. When i think abt the personal life of this lady then i get irritated. Even she has done blunders, so many extra marital affairs..so many husbands...god knows what all. Well what i feel is one should fight against the society if they are clean...but i know society will never let a person stay clean. It makes sure that the person gets tainted with the same color and starts flowing in the stream.
well whatever...facts are facts...and i dont feel anything bad abt it now...i am still proud to say that i am a Female and i am better than most of the guys :)
