India's Daughter

I'm sure by now most of us have seen the documentary on Nirbhay... aka India's Daughter. . or will eventually will see it ,before it is completely banned. 

I don't know about you,but for me , mixed plethora of emotions came pouring out..a churning of anger , hatred, helplessness,frustration, sadness....

I felt ashamed and disgusted, that although an expat of 20 yrs ..my roots are Indian .. yet I feel unhappy to say I am Indian..I was born and raised in India.. luckily grew up very well sheltered & protected in an affluent family...but still even then, as a girl I still remember the uneasiness of the stares..or uncomfortable looks ..the need to be home at a certain time..just to be safe..

Here we are, a nation who boasts of success. .who produces the best doctors, scientists, engineers...have been told that India is a country to reckon with...   Alas !.. but No ! ....this country I think is still failing.....a country which cannot keep their women...mothers, wives , sisters or daughters safe ..shame!..what a shame. .I don't think..this is progress at all ..It is a failure..a failure to mankind ..
