Are short clothes really responsible for Rape in India?

This has been a debate amongst Indians since ever. People would say things like, 'She was wearing short clothes', 'she wasn't aware of surroundings', 'she went out late at night', etc. But is this really a reason, or is it just a way to say, 'We men have done nothing wrong.' It is high time we understand that it is the insatiability of males that is causing the rise in rape cases.

I was watching a video on Youtube today which showed the results of an experiment conducted in Kolkata. They were asking people if the short clothes really are the reason for rape? You would be surprised yourself after seeing it. I was amazed at narrow mindedness of the populace. And not just men but women also were saying the same thing. How can we be blind to such simple things. Men are the real animal here.

Why should we judge a girl by what she wears? Isn't it supposed to be what you like to wear?
People should start asking these questions to themselves before giving out an opinion on what women should wear. It is men who should change their thinking rather that asking women to change their clothes. And even if you say that women should stop wearing short clothes, what length would you suggest that would not invite a rapist. Those rapists who don't even distinguish between a 5yr old and a 50yr old. Would they really spare a girl because she is wearing the right clothes.

Change yourself people before changing others. Don't ask your daughters to start wearing clothes of right size, ask you sons to behave properly.

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).

What your children may need from you - Infant Diaries

This is the first part of the series of posts 'What your Children may need from you.' This part is focused on infants up to the age of 5 years old. This post is for all the parents, especially Indians, out there with one child at the very least. Also, I am no parent an I am writing this post from the perspective of a child. I would refer to a child as she to neutralize the male dominance in the society, at least as much as I can. From the moment a child enters the world, the first thing she gets to know is Mother, for those who don't, I really wish you could. For a child, her mother is the anchor in a sea of unknown faces. If she is insecure, she would cry and we all know that her mother can bring her security. Food, sanitation or any other problem an infant may have, mother is the one she would call for. So what all would your child require of you? Let's take it step-by-step: 1. Your attention - Yes, your child would require your attention. She is very...
