Mumbai men are competing with each other to make it a crime capital. It has become the territory of eve teasers, road romeos and goons. Every one wants to keep their score high.
In a survey, it is shown that in every two minutes a girl is eve teased. Our quintessential Mumbai males may or may not offer their helping hand to any one in trouble, but their heart of gold melts at a sight of girl standing alone on road. Faster then the speed of light they reaches to accompany her.
Chalti hai kya, kya maal hai and �hello madam� this is how they approach a girl. They not only whistle, but also make obscene gestures and pass lewd comments. Whether a girl is of eighteen or a woman in her 50s, these men shower there love and affection on everyone.
However, they have many favorite hangouts but mostly you can catch them outside Girls College testing their vocals and reciting age-old shayari. In the buses trying hard to stand beside you, to touch you. On bus stops staring and smiling at you and some asking oh - so - original “time kya hua hai madam”?
If you think only uneducated and lower class people do so, then you are committing a mistake. Our well educated, sophisticated and well-cultured men have tremendous contribution to it. They can be given awards for their best smile, gaze and their dialogues.
They smile at us, asks for lift and sometimes even follow us as said by Nisha and Prerna student of class IXth. But Mitali a B.Sc. (hons) student says I mostly roam in group of friends to avoid such miscreants but have to hear bawdy comments when I am alone
Middle-aged men seek more pleasure in passing indecent remarks. Old men make their prey even to small school going girls while Rich young brats do not even hesitate in offering money to a respectable girl. This is what our so-called educated men do. In spite of their well brought up background they harasses, teases girls on roads like street urchins.
It is very depressing to see that a woman is still considered as an object to satisfy lust by men. They still regard them as an entity that can be suppressed. They assert their male authority by humiliating them and dominating them sexually.
According to Sheela Gupta, a Psychiatrist, Men who harass girls, they suffer from psychological problem and seek out a strange pleasure by passing vulgar n bawdy comments. But
Mrs. Mehta, a homemaker has something else to say, Sex based films are the reason behind increase in eve teasing
Nevertheless, whatever the reason may be, nowadays eve teasing has become a part of Mumbai culture. These lecherous men are serious threat to womans dignity, decorum and to our society. Our government and police should take some serious steps towards them.
