Today, as we commemorate our nation's independence, I can't help but feel a sense of disillusionment and disappointment. Despite the progress we've made as a society, the harsh reality remains that a lady doctor, a dedicated professional, is still not safe in her own workplace. The fact that she was assaulted and raped in a place where she's supposed to feel secure and valued is a stark reminder that our struggle for true independence is far from over. How can we celebrate our freedom when women, who are the backbone of our society, continue to face such heinous crimes? How can we claim to be independent when our mothers, sisters, and daughters are still vulnerable to violence and abuse? The irony is stark, and it's a bitter pill to swallow. As we reflect on our nation's journey, let's not forget the unsung heroes like the lady doctor who faces unimaginable daily challenges. Let's acknowledge the systemic failures that allow such atrocities to occur. And let's pledge to work towards a future where everyone, regardless of gender, feels safe, valued, and truly independent. Points to ponder on this Independence Day: - What does independence mean when women are still not free from fear and violence? - How can we call ourselves a progressive society when workplace safety is still a luxury for many? - What more can we do to create a culture of respect, empathy, and inclusivity? - How can we, as a collective, raise our voices and demand change? Let's use this day to introspect, to acknowledge our shortcomings, and to recommit ourselves to the pursuit of true independence – where every individual can live without fear, and with dignity
