Are we really upto our modern outlooks??!??!

This incident that i am about to narrate talks about how our loving society looks at women who are unaware about whats happening around them.Well, my dear friends let me clear this thought a little bit.The women i am talking about is none other but a neighbour of mine.Yesterday while i was trying to get ready for my 1st day at work...you know arranging all the papers(marksheets,relieving letter,etc) and then suddenly i hear loud voices from right outside my apartment gate.When i come out to my horror i see a man dragging a woman by her T shirt...Yes u heard it Dragging...!!!so far i have just seen it in TV where a reporter talks about a random incident of woman tortured,dragged etc from a remote corner of india.But here i was witnessing it for the first time in my life.Nobody knows what happened but the whole society is out watching this drama and that too it's happening in the very modern Bengaluru city,i could hear women from other apartments whispering that "girl is drunk"..."girl is mad..she has lost it"..etc But friends my question is whatever be it.."IS THAT THE WAY TO TREAT A HUMAN BEING???".So i decided to find out what exactly is going on..I finally get to speak to one lady who had been witnessing this whole affair since the beginning and who also happens to be my laundry man's wife.Well the story goes like.."YOU KNOW MADAM SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DRUNK AND SHE WANTS TO DRINK MORE.."..ok so again my question to her was what is the so called DUDE'S problem in that who seems to take care of the whole society...(But let me tell you that this "one heck of a dude is the same guy who will get pissed drunk by himself and will be seen shouting and screaming in the middle of the night disturbing the whole neighbourhood..but again u see his father owns this CV RAMAN NAGAR...and since he is from karanataka he has the full right to do anything..and there will be no one to stop him.)..Anyways i decided to call the cops expecting some positive reply from them.But in this city even cops wouldnt help you if you dont know kannada..and top of that if it's a lady then even more worse..you can expect."NO SUPPORT".


The lady who is drunk is an owner of a huge three storeyed building next door and she lives there with her husband.Her husband is also apparently an alcoholic..and he has been away since morning..drunk in some part of the world.So nobody knows exactly what is the problem but all they know is that she is drunk and she reached her place after taking lift from a guy whom she met near the so called bar.Once she got back to her place she decided that she wants to drink more and so she asked the same guy who dropped her to drop her back ..to which ofcourse the guy got nervous and said a big "NO".

Then he(Biker guy) started pushing her and saying no..that is exactly when our DUDE saw something is going on..something is disturbing the society and he should be doing something about it.Let me also tell you that this DUDE was nowhere near 100mts of the "Drunk girl".But somehow he suddenly feels like a man and all the other females came out critising her ..yelling ...and that she is drunk ..so he walks arrogantly smoking a cig..and then holds her by the hair and drags her into her place and slaps her.This so called DUDE is not even a big guy in the society.he is like just another ordinary guy who thinks kannadiga's rule.

So when i started asking questions he started giving me threatening stares....asking me to get lost from there..But what i really feel sad about is that there were so many females watching the whole show but nobody came up to even support her and when you try to raise your voice ..you are shrugged off..as if you are nothing ...just a mere north indian..taking away jobs from kannadiga's.

In a place like Bangalore where they talk about lots of money..modern outlooks...are we really trying to undertand what makes a modern city..Nobody tried to understand if the drunk lady had any issues..may be her husband treats her like shit once he is back home..may be they have problems..may be she was drugged...may be she was raped..who knows..but was ever an effort made..??NO...the only thing everybody saw was that she was drunk...she wasnt yelling..she was quiet..she couldnt even tie her hair properly..she was a complete mess..instead of asking her what happened..you drag her by her feet and then throw her..into the corner of her house...is that the way.???nobody even offered a glass of water..but they all threatened her..closed their doors on her face..How will it ever improve her mental condition??may be she is in complete distress...May be...but what's the point...??

You are just another person who would walk away after watching the whole show..!!!!SAD BUT IT'S TRUE!!!ARE WE STILL READY??
