"It's your fault"
There have been positive as well as negative responses from this viral video of Kalki and Juhi representing women as a whole and bringing up their voice sarcastically.
The “It’s your fault” video, by a comedy group called All India Bakchod (AIB), isn’t just a campaign they're doing for someone else. It depicts the human nature towards the brutality which women in this era have to suffer and face daily.
The video features Kalki and Juhi mocking at the statements we get to hear in our daily life, from policemen who are expected to protect us, from politicians who rule the crime world and from our parents who want us to be safe and the very heard statement "Its your fault, you should have been careful".
We have hundreds and thousands of rapes and brutal assaults across the country and hardly 10-20 % are covered by the media or listened to by the police. The fact which irritates me the most is that why does the media have to put words into the mouth of the public while broadcasting the news, why do they have to present the news with tragic background music, as if any music could possibly make us feel worse about a woman having an iron rod pushed up her vagina.
The group tried to cover the daily life of women. Actress Kalki Koechlin and VJ Juhi Pandey are smiling throughout the three and a half minute video. But, when you take a closer look to feel the pain in their eyes and listen to what they have to say, the irony will hit you and you begin to understand the foolish behavior of the society towards women , when they are asked come home early , dress up decently( the word's meaning varies from person to person) , don't take “PANGA” with the male members in your group , don't go to deserted places because it is dangerous. If you do the things mentioned and if any mishap takes place all you will hear is, "It’s your fault sweetheart, you had been warned earlier”. I wonder why do women have to listen to what society tells them to do like what to wear, how to react, how to ……
Why can't they have a life of their own?
I salute Ms Kiran Bedi to encourage women to fight for their rights but, this step would not go far if girls today don't understand their own worth. Females today need to know how to take care of themsleves instead of always relying on their male partners to fight for them. Our life would become miserable if the society kept on reminding us that "IT'S YOUR FAULT", while the convicts are enjoying themselves.
