The recent horrific incident of rape and murder in Kolkata has once again sparked outrage and brought attention to the ongoing crisis of violence against women in India. Prominent voices from the entertainment industry, including Taapsee Pannu, Shabana Azmi, and Tanushree Dutta, have expressed their anguish and frustration over the lack of safety and justice for women in the country. Through their powerful statements, they shed light on the pervasive issues of misogyny, the ineffectiveness of law enforcement, and the urgent need for societal change.
Taapsee Pannu, Shabana Azmi, and Tanushree Dutta voice their opinion on the Kolkata rape and murder
Taapsee Pannu: “These kinds of incidents have become a hateful part of our lives. Some are more brutal than the other, but the heinous act stays the same. One person commits that crime or many, the victim is dead or alive in either of the case these incidents are equally devastating to read or hear. Unfortunately, they happen so frequently in our country with no specific trend or trail to catch that it feels like it’s bad luck draw that all girls have their names in and it’s all about how unlucky one of us can get. The frequency of these crimes is so high that it doesn’t look like any of us have any solution to this tragic situation.”
Shabana Azmi: “Threat of violence is a tool for pushing women from enjoying the freedoms that are rightfully theirs. We need to revisit notions of masculinity and question why it is about exercising power and rippling muscles. Why is energy not invested in compassion respect and equality very proud of him. At the end of the day all sections of society have to do some introspection and take responsibility for how at our end we can help transform a mindset that is misogynist.”
Tanushree Dutta: “It’s very disheartening to see that there is no fear of law amongst predators in India. Every few years a horrific case brings people to protest on the streets & afterwards life goes back to normal. This is a pan- India issue that is totally destroying the fabric of our nation. I saw the real attitude of cops, law and order and the judiciary when I was leading the #metoo. They were very nice, polite & reassuring during complaint registrations of victims but did nothing eventually on any #metoo case. The police even tried to close the cases after few months on behest of the accused. This was just total hypocrisy & corruption of another level. So if high profile women have such a tough time getting justice in India what hope is there for the less privileged? In such cases especially, very harsh punishment needs to be displayed publicly to discourage such violent acts in the future.”
