DVA

DVA.....
We all had heard and read about DVC... everyone knows what havoc DVC created as a novel and as a movie. Now whats DVA.... ??
Well DVA, its not a novel or a movie, but the new law which has shown the country that we need to come out of old thought and face the reality.
Domestice Violence Act, DVA, has created sensation till now and i feel its a start of changing india.
When i was a kid i used to take lessons in the school about our culture and heritage. And we were told that, we indians are pround of one thing and thats our culture. I agreeed to it for certain period, but when i used to read the newspaper i used to get psyched by seeing the number of crimes against women in india. I wondered how people can beat up their wives, burn them to death just for money, rape them to full fill their lust, throw acid on them for childish reasons. And i bet there are thousands of other incidents which go un-noticed.
DVA is among the various steps to achieve gender equality in india and rightly so at the right place. Women can feel a lot secure with the law at their side. But lets keep our fingers crossed to how many of them actually make use of this benefit for which women were starving since ages.
I read an article today in TOI, which right said that, an woman who gets beaten by the husband, doesnt even think of leaving him for various reasons. Financial condition tops the chart, childs future, social image etc are certain reasons coz of which women dont go to the extend of filing an office law against the husband or the accused.
I heartly welcome this law and hoping that this a revolutionary step towards the modern india.
