In his article, Sorit Gupto presents a Delhi Police advertisement printed in the local newspaper :
“There is a scene of a bus stop where two young persons are teasing a young lady. In that frame, five persons are also there but they are just mute spectators of the event, in which one of them is an elderly lady.
The copy of the advertisement says,’ There are no Men in this Picture.’
At the bottom of the main visual the copy continues as, ‘Or this would not happen’.
It again says, Suerly you can’t let a women be teased in front of you?
You are a real Man.
You know how humiliating and embarrassing it is for her.
So protect her. And help her.
Escort her away from the scene. Or inform the nearest PCR van.
Save her from shame and hurt.
Help some one in need.
Protect women from eve teaser.”
Solution to eve-teasing : Men, become “real” men. And women, alas what can you do ? Remain helpless, in the absence of law-order. If this is the mentality of Delhi Police no wonder the law and order situation doesn’t improve.
