Women safety in India

From ancient times to modern India, our society has faced lot of socio-evil issues and faced them with positive energy. Casteism, superstitions, gender bias, untouchability etc. were part of our society for long. Among them, women safety was always a constant concern and still it is present in our society in very heinous form. Today India, with 1.2 billion population, with advanced technologies, more educated society and young leaders, still lags behind others when we talk about women safety. We rank 137 out of 183 countries as per the UN in terms of women safety.

According to figures released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the total number of rape cases reported in India has gone up to 33,707 in 2013 from 24,923 in 2012. Our society contributes 70%, when we talk about percentage share for women safety issues. Delhi, Banglore, West Bengal and UP are some areas where there are higher no's of cases registered under sex assaults, rapes, husband's cruelty, domestic violence, eve teasing etc. Delhi accounts 13.3% and Banglore 5.6% to total rape case in India till date. After December 2012 Delhi gang rape case, tourists gang rape in Goa, 14 year old girl rape case in UP, new year's eve teasing case in Maharashtra, we have achieved that level where patriarch thinking of our society towards women is clear.

From ages, women are considered inferior in socio-economic circle. They are given fewer rights and it's assumed that they are made for husband's sexual pleasure, for upbringing of children and service of in-laws. In modern world, women are acting as housewives as well working ladies. But their socio-economic condition is still worse. In every case of molestation or assault, reasons are mostly given considering dress of women, their talking attitude, their friends circle. We have made an exemplary society in negative scales which is starving of more lawful society considering women safety and of modern and independent thinking of men who treat women as "sex toys" or "enjoyment tools". 

Most of the cases of rape, registers rapists which do not have crime history or some still find it normal to do this evil act. This is all because of absence of stringent laws. Government should revive the laws and strategies to handle the indecent act. Society which blames events in very inappropriate proportion has to clear its thoughts that how women should be seen or handled in a social circle. Many corporates are introducing apps, new governments are installing CCTVs, few are providing GPS in taxis or auto rickshaws. But until we are clear that how our society will ensure safety to women in more constructive manner with good governing laws and free space to move, Indian society will never achieve the status of idyllic environment for which Indian traditions and cultures are taken in front for proud moment. Safe environment is a right of every woman and our society should put in all to give this to them.

Thank You NITIE! and Mumbai Meri Jaan!

On 11 th June 2015, NITIE’s admission office released 4 th  list of cleared students for PGDIM batch 2015-17. Boom!! I got the last seat … sheer luck I guess. That feeling was just splendid when I got a call from my friend who is studying in IIM Lucknow that Bhai! Ho gea tera. Time was 4:20 PM and I was working on my new project. After that call I started calling my closed ones. I can still feel that moment because when you’re a supply chain and operations enthusiast and you get admission to best B-school in that domain then nothing else can explain your happiness. NITIE is best among all B-schools let it be IIM A, B, C or any else when it comes to supply chain and operations. Big question, Why MBA?  was answered and that too in style. Oh my God! How would that be to go to classes again, meeting new people, living in Mumbai, doing new assignments, late night chats, parties and lot of college fun.  I called my boss personally and told him everything. He was ...

FDI means foreign direct investment. When investors from foreign countries invest in other countries, it results into this transaction. Like every transaction, we have merits and demerits for FDI in India. Indian economy is at $2 trillion size currently and target is to achieve $10 trillion within 10 years. Can FDI will help in this or not? Talking about India's theory or perception on FDI, different groups have different views. After liberalization in 1991, we have permitted FDI in different sectors in 2000 + years or era. Now we have 49% FDI in defense, 100% in multi brand retail,, 100% in railways and many more, but still we have lot of sectors which are not open to FDI.
