Some thing is seriously wrong

I know.... not one but many things are. Am seriously afraid of walking a lonely street now a days, specially when there is a group of men present around or walking past me. Am afraid to send my 2 daughters to their grandparents home by themselves, which is just a hundred meters away. Am getting paranoid listening to all the assaults happening on women and kids, every day. 

Can we dare look at the root cause?  
1. Do we have enough police force? Why are the much needed police reforms not put in to place, after the Supreme Courts directive to the States to do so? Whats stopping our politicians to get in to act. Because these politicians are here not to take care of us, the public, but to take care of themselves. If people with conviction don't join politics now, at the risk of losing their warm and comfortable lives, then lets be ready for the doom.
2. At a deeper level, isn't how our society functions, one of the main reasons for this muck we got in to today? Though there is a significant improvement in the way women are treated in educated urban class, there is still no respect for women in the lower rung of society, where the alcoholic husbands come and beat their well earning wives black and blue every day. What example do these fathers present their sons?
While the easy availability of liquor at every street corner is one reason, the lack of proper education in schools is another. 
Why are there more liquor shops than schools? Because the people who gave them permissions to set up such shops are more interested in making money for themselves. They conveniently ignore the outcomes of their one sided actions.
Isn't it time, to make education, more related to life, than just mugging up of some factual information, which they might never come across in life. This aspect has to be injected in to the current model. But who has the will? Surprisingly,  the current lot of politicians are more interested in educating themselves, about farming, by looking through their windows while traveling in bullet trains speeding at 300kmph, as a part of their State sponsored foreign tour. Can it get more hilarious?

How ironic that we are being  forced to fight for our basic rights, in the worlds' largest  democracy. 
I want safety, a poor man wants work. Dear so called leaders, this is what we want. Not some fancy food security bill.

It is a moving thought ! Good one..

I wish to share my thought that will make that fear go one day.

Root cause of all our social problem is we expect Government or someone to fix it. (also government is not just a set of people - we forget to remember that it includes us! )

Problem belongs to us, instead of expecting others to join (which will only make the wait long) we have to do something to bring mitigate the problem or if possible solve it.

Ofcourse, It becomes more & more powerful when all like minded join with force :)

i am sure each of us can solve one small problem, we will build a problem-free world very soon ! (else we will have a world of problem always)

Crux is : it is my problem & i need to handle it.
(It is not others problem that someone need to solve it )
