Is it a School or Khap Panchayat?

A class 10 girl, one of the toppers in the class, from a high end school in Bangalore, daughter of highly educated parents has taken her life in the fit of a moment in an agonizing way 2 days back. It was shocking to say the least. Is the school at fault or the parents or the girl herself. Or we as a society to blame?
This is not the first time, we have seen such incidents. A well known legislature's daughter killed herself few months back over a similar issue.

The school should have handled the issue in a much better way. . The Heads of Education themselves are not 'educated' nor in a position to educate the children. Its time we look at 'Education' from a totally new perspective. We should realize that the world has moved on. And it doesn't help a bit, if we stay stuck to our centuries old outlook towards emotional and social issues, specially concerning teenagers. Lifeskills are an important part of educating a child.

I want to ask these so called 'Educationalists' how different are they from 'Khap Panchayat' of Haryana. A friendly hug on campus play ground. According to reports, she has been made to stand in the corridor for 2 hrs and been suspended for day and half, and been handed over with reprimanding letters. Come on. If you indeed feel its wrong, there is a way to handle it.Why don't the schools have councellors on campus. With information overload and exposure to otherwise unimaginable faces of the world at a young age due to internet and mobiles, today's youngsters are being served with more than they can handle, although not intentionally.

Councellors on campus is the #needofthehour.

Now to the parents, along with a responsible handling of gadgets, we should also maintain a healthy and sound relationship with the child. We shouldn't forget that we are the only closest people the child really can count on. The child should be assured of this at every stage. When ever such issue crops up, it should be handled in a sensible way, how much ever enraged we are. This must be an ongoing process. Right from a young age. Teenage is something where this bond has to be stronger than ever. We need to adopt ourselves to the changing times, and accept change.

Then children, should be taught to be self confident and positive. Nothing can be end of the world. The parents, teachers and the society are equally responsible to make them feel such. Where do we begin??? Can we do it?

Why Indian Sarkar can't do much about Women's safety.

Well..... let me ask you first.
Have you ever donated to any political party? Mostly NO.
Then where do these traditional parties get their thousands of crores from? Corporates and businesses(Eg: Real estate. Off late most of these business people started to contest by themselves to eliminate middlemen(read elected reps)).
Now the so called "Leaders" once they get elected have to return the favour. So they become busy in working for the interests of these few who helped them generously win election.

How will they be left with any time to work for anyone else( read #Aamaadmi)
They will throw some freebies here some subsidies there. This is more than enough for those millions whose expectations are way below, because for them survival is a miracle on a day to day basis. We have Religion and caste to add a strong emotional flavour to the vote.

Meanwhile, they don't really care what the rest of millions ask for, as they know that these BUSY people are never a threat. They hardly vote. Some of them will keep raising issues, shout, file RTIs, get killed as a bonus, do protests, file PILs in court. But to the Govt which works on several IMPORTANT issues, these are all trivial. They can wait. Funds become a problem. Manpower becomes a problem.(Mind you, funds are not an issue for foreign STUDY tours of our elected reps.)

Now tell me, why would they care if SOME WOMEN gets raped, some where.
Its time for some soul searching, my friends.
