Awake, awake, awake for a better tomorrow

Will government do anything about growing incidents of groping in buses, trains and crowded places and even by rickshawalas, thelewalas, and so called innocent looking but harami Gareeb Aadmi on roads and markets, and schoolteachers, sharabis, bus conductors?
Will authorities also think over the repercussions of romeos being ignored while taking schoolgirls into parks, cinemas, and other freakout places 'for fun' in the name of freedom?
Will TV serial makers and filmmakers reduce commodification of women and girl children? Will parents turn serious about their kids' complaints about notorious school cab drivers and servants and misuse of internet by kids at home? Would anyone of us come forward, even to inform police, for a helpless girl the next time ........I don't think so....do you???
We need to change our outlook. We can surely transform others' way of thinking, not by lip service at home or workplace but by our actions in daily life. The government will never act until the public forces it to do so. The authorities will never change their approach in understanding and taking our complaints seriously, until we make them do so in a determined way. Are we ready? Let's make a beginning first in our heart, then soul and finally Action.
