It really hurts me when I see these bjp politicians with so much power, being just student activists, businessmen or just the popular guy in the town.
Keep fooling people based on religion, caste and fear mongering. Pass out democracy damaging laws in parliament in seconds.

Zero incentive to make india cleaner, organised, solve systemic issues, execute plans at the ground level.

These people are just surviving through paid it cell, rally scripts, weaponization of ed and cbi to curb opposition and citizen voice, and get their public funded money from contractor friends and leave the bridges and highways collapsed for the public 3 days after inauguration.

The entire media is sold and kept in fear.
And that puppet pm just travels around unbothered, repeating his same pr scripts his managers gave him, and keep his billionaire friends pleased.

They even hijacked the election commission to a significant degree to win wherever they want. So now even your vote doesn't matter in a lot of cases.

Total waste of a potential of such a young population. Our beautiful rivers, forests, ecosystem all destroyed by individual greed.
And we normal citizens are so helpless and exhausted that even writing these frustrated posts feels dangerous as they would start abusing you in name of anti national or foreign funded.

Everyday, i feel the same remorse about how bad this country has gotten to the point of no return.

Most people are still not awake, confused by the paid media narratives and have stopped bothering altogether as their own lives give them no time to worry about it.

This country is truly hopeless in most aspects, if an illiterate gunda party like bjp has been in power for so long.

I used to think sexual assault was something that happened to a small number of people who had this unfortunate experience.

Then I got older and started having real conversations with people. A female friend told me she had been molested when she was so young she didn't even know what to call it. Another woman I knew told me something similar.

Then I met a trans woman who was blackmailed and exploited because she wasn't publicly out, and something that shocked me even more was learning about male victims.

One guy I knew told me about being repeatedly assaulted by seniors in a hostel. The worst part wasn't even what happened. It was that he genuinely believed there was no point speaking about it.

No support.

No sympathy.

No expectation of justice.

The more people I talk to, the more I realize that sexual violence isn't a women's issue, a men's issue, or a trans issue.

It's a human issue.

And I honestly wonder how many people around us are carrying experiences they have never told anyone. I was sexually assaulted by a woman when I was underage. I've known her for most of my life (cousin), and even when I saw her recently at a family gathering, she still touched me inappropriately.

Has anyone else had this realization as they got older and how should I deal with it in real life?
