Recently crime against women has increased manifold.However,some people whose valued opinion in this matter is some trimes sought by media more often than not refuse to buy this plain and simple fact.They argue incidences of criminal assaults on women were no less in earlier days too.The difference is now is the media highlight them more.But why are media so proactive now in bringing such ugly incidents to light?Why did they hush up such crimes perpetrated in earlier regime?Do media like to deliberately show the present govt in poor light?If so,Mamata Banerjee's scathing criticism of media merits justification.
What's true is eve teasing, molestation and rapes have really increased in recent times.Perhaps many people don't want to be tagged a Marxist by saying such criminal offences were less frequent before the change of guard.They seem to maintain a neutral stance by tarring both the govts(LF&TMC-Cong) with the same brush particularly in this matter only to be on the safe side.However, humdrum public expect they should have the courage to call a spade a spade.
