Last week, India woke up another spine-chilling case of rape and murder of a young medical trainee in Kolkata that has sparked a nationwide outrage with doctors going on strike. Since the incident happened around August 15, many celebrities questioned the freedom and safety of women as the country celebrated another year of independence. Among them is Tamannaah Bhatia who has pointed out that such occasions are ‘incomplete’ without appropriate measures being taken to safeguard women.
Tamanaah Bhatia urges women to strive for ‘real Independence’
Joining the list of celebrities who have shared heart wrenching notes comparing the incident to several other heinous crimes against women that have been reported in the past is Tamannaah Bhatia. The actress shared a note on Friday wherein she said, “Yesterday, India completed 78 years of Independence. We commemorated bravery and sacrifice of our freedom fighters. However at the same time we were reminded yet again, that our independence is incomplete without the freedom and safety of our women. The heinous crime committed in Kolkata last week, and countless others that continue to happen every day, are constant reminders of how women continue to face violence, harassment & discrimination, our voices silenced and our rights denied.”
She continued, “We are past the time of realisations, we have to go beyond conversations, discussions and bring actionable change. Tomorrow is too late, JUSTICE needs to be served. It's high time that we look for the right solutions and ensure that we are teaching our children, especially the boys, the true value of a woman. Every woman's heart is bleeding, let's strive for real independence.”
