Rape, molestation and abuse is something India is fighting a constant battle with. While they say, that we as a society, are coming off age where women are treated with respect and not as an object, the reality is a far away plight filled with sexism and misogyny!

While we heard, imagined and sighed heavily at the reports of mass molestation in Bengaluru on New Year’s eve, gut-wrenching and nightmarish videos of the ‘night of shame‘ have been collected from the CCTV cameras installed and we wish we weren’t alive to see this. In a clip uploaded by Mathrubhumi (source unverified), it pains to see a woman groped and beaten by hooligans. It pains, that we are still living in a hole of oblivion with lawmakers and pseudo-protectors that claim to ensure ‘women’s safety’. A term, only existing in the dictionaries!
