It is a little depressing to read articles such as these telling us that our beloved country ranks 4th in the list of countries that are the most dangerous for women to live in.
Looking at Jayalalitha re-elected in Tamilnadu, Mamata Banerjee making history by ending the 34 years communist rule in West Bengal, Sheila Dikshit heading in delhi, Meira Kumar as the speaker of the lok sabha, Pratibha Patil as the president of the country, Sonia Gandhi as the president of the ruling party etc., you can easily be misled into believing that the nation by and large is taking giant leaps towards being a state were women have a safe and secure standing in the society. The good parts are just a few specks in an ugly mess of gigantic proportions.
