There was a time, long ago, when the honor of a woman was a treasure so sacred that kingdoms rose and fell in its defense. An era where a single insult to a woman’s dignity could spark a war, tearing apart families, as was seen in the ancient epic of the Mahabharata. A time when the virtues of respect and protection for women were so deeply ingrained in society that even brothers would turn against each other to uphold them. Draupadi’s plight, her honor stripped away in a court full of men, led to the great battle of Kurukshetra-a war fought not for wealth, power, or land, but to restore the dignity of one woman. That was the age of righteousness, where Dharma reigned supreme. But today, in the age…

On that fateful night, the seminar hall was occupied by four female interns, one of whom was the girlfriend of a male intern involved in the criminal activities. A heated argument ensued, leading the interns to leave the victim alone. The hall, once a place of learning and debate, became a chamber of horrors. As the night wore on, a group of criminals, intoxicated and driven by their malevolent desires, entered the hall. What followed was a scene of pure evil. They tortured her in ways so inhumane that even the most hardened souls would shudder to imagine it. They stomped on her back with heavy boots, breaking her bones, including her pelvis and collar. They ruptured her skull, bit off her nails and flesh, and subjected her to every…

The time has come for a change, not just in laws and policies but in the very way we think and live. If every mother educates her son as much as her daughter about right and wrong, about respect and dignity, then perhaps such horrors could be prevented. If we can restrict our daughters from going out late at night, why can't we do the same for our sons? The root of the problem lies not just in the actions but in the mindset that allows such actions to occur. Our daughters have reached the moon, yet the lecherous gaze of these beasts remains fixated on them. Everyone demands equality, but at the same time, they seek to oppress women. This contradiction must end, and it must end now. We…

Rape is one of the most horrific acts a human being can commit. It is a violent crime that not only causes physical harm but also leaves deep psychological scars on its victims. Despite the severe consequences and the universally recognized immorality of the act, rape continues to occur at alarming rates across the globe. This raises a critical question: What are men trying to prove when they commit rape? Is it a display of power, a twisted sense of pride, or something even more insidious? The Illusion of Power At the heart of many rapes lies a profound misunderstanding of power. For some men, the act of rape is wrongly seen as a way to assert dominance and control. They believe that by forcibly taking what they want, they…

In the heart of Kolkata, nestled amidst the bustling streets and timeless architecture, stands RG Kar Medical College-a prestigious institution that once symbolized hope, healing, and the promise of life. It is within these walls that a tragedy occurred, one so horrific that it sent shockwaves throughout the nation and left an indelible scar on the collective consciousness of society. On the night of August 9th, a young woman, a postgraduate trainee doctor, was brutally raped and murdered while on duty. She had dedicated her life to the noble profession of medicine, a calling that required compassion, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to saving lives. But in the place where she should have found camaraderie and respect, she instead encountered unimaginable brutality a fate so monstrous it defies comprehension. As…

When people say that women are afraid to step out at night, what they often fail to consider is the root cause of that fear. It’s not the darkness or the time of day that fills them with dread—it’s the very real danger posed by some men who view women as prey. This fear isn't irrational; it is based on countless incidents that women have either experienced or heard about, where ordinary moments turned into nightmares because of someone’s twisted sense of power. The Real Reason Behind the Fear:-The fear that women feel is not a fear of the unknown. It’s a fear based on experiences that have been passed down through generations, shared among friends, or, for many, lived firsthand. When a woman steps out alone, especially at night,…

Rape is not a display of power—it is a demonstration of weakness. It is not an act of manhood—it is an act of cowardice. Men who commit rape are not proving anything about their strength or worth; they are only revealing their moral failings. It’s time for men to reject the toxic ideals of masculinity that drive them to commit acts of violence against women. Instead, they should embrace a new definition of manhood—one that values respect, empathy, and the protection of others. By doing so, they can help to create a world where all people are safe and free from the threat of sexual violence.…

The audio revealed a horrifying truth: RG Kar Medical College was not just a place of learning and healing, but a breeding ground for corruption and criminality. At the center of this web was the college principal, a man whose greed and thirst for power had turned him into one of the most corrupt criminals in history. Under his leadership, the college had become a haven for nefarious activities a place where money and influence dictated success, where bribes were taken to ensure the passage of unqualified doctors, and where sex and drug rackets operated with impunity. The postgraduate trainee, the victim of this gruesome crime, had stumbled upon this dark underbelly. She had discovered the illegal activities and, with the courage of a true warrior, threatened to expose the…

In many societies, a dangerous double standard exists when it comes to how men view women. A man might fiercely protect the women in his own family—his mother, sister, or daughter—yet objectify and mistreat other women. This hypocrisy reveals a troubling mindset: that women outside a man’s immediate circle are less deserving of respect and dignity. This double standard not only perpetuates harmful behaviors but also exposes deep-seated issues in the way society views and values women. The Double Standard On one hand, many men are quick to defend the honor of their female family members. They would never tolerate someone disrespecting or harming their mother, sister, or daughter. They see these women as deserving of protection, care, and respect. However, when it comes to women outside of their family,…
