sexual harassment
by syed ilyas on Dec 20, 2007 05:24 PM

The incidents of sexual harassment in schools, colleges and work places are increasing tremendously especially due to fast few years. There are many factors responsible, besides the human depravity. Those days are gone when only minor flirts were indulged, now people are more direct and crude.One of the important causes could be over-liberal attitude encouraged by TV programmes where hardly anything is left to imaginations; frequent malfunctioning(!) of dresses by models on the ramp, increasing imagination of choreographers in film songs and open discussion about sex in media. Every thing goes in the name of fashion which is becoming bolder and open. Did any one ever say that the idols of Khajuraho and Konark were vulgar? When human body is depicted in different forms of art, people accept it but the problem id about vulgar descriptions. Some time college going girls and working females also become somewhat less reserved which is misconstrued by boys/men. This tendency needs too be checked and even curbed. But this will be possible when it becomes a social concern not a police concern alone. Let all segments of society engage in this important task of cleansing the society from such incidents.
