A 5-year-old girl brutally abused in New Delhi, the capital of India. Yet another incident in a city, the epicentre of a (self-proclaimed!) wannabe world-power, that headlines about a growing GDP, stable Government, Mars missions, bullet trains and cries hoarse for a nomination on the United Nations Security Council! Governments come. Governments go. If the city - residence to the President of India, one (supposedly) popular Indian Prime Minister and Forbes-renowned women in power and opposition - witnesses such gruesome crimes without any fear of law, then what happens elsewhere in the country, is simply unimaginable! We are celebrating Navratri at the moment, where we worship the almighty Goddess Mother, an incarnation of "Shakti". One sincerely hopes and prays that those in power and opposition realize that the FUTURE of this country, especially the girl child, needs much more than a mere selfie-with-daughter and annual women's day celebrations; we need to nurture the future on streets and inside Homes that are safe and secure. Where uncle, "bhaiya" and Daddy, Shield. Not force the FUTURE to yield.
