Shreya Saran molestation

A man misbehaved with Shreya Saran yesterday at a temple. This temple is considered one of the most pious and pure temple in India. People, who molest women, think that she will forget about it and it will not scar her for life. They are not hurting her so she would be fine with it. But they don’t understand that it does haunt women for years. A touch, a look or a comment from someone can trigger real bad memories of someone violating your body.
I felt sorry for the state of women in India at this time. I feel the government should do something about punishing these eve-teasers and making an example out of them, but more importantly Shreya should be considered a perfect example for other women to look up to. She is very delicate looking but she stood up to a man who tried to violate her modesty and her personal space. Women should empower themselves and try and protect themselves. A policeman cannot be available at all times and women should be in a position to defend themselves. Learning a little bit or martial arts is always advisable, especially for women who work or even go out for groceries alone. That would include any woman who has ever been out on the streets alone, and that would be everyone in India or the world.
