7 Major Cities Of India And Their Uglier Sides We Tend To Overlook


It is understandable that every city has its sewers infested by scumbags who eventually spread the plague. What is not acceptable is the attempt to sweep the dirt under the carpet and pretend like everything’s fine. Let’s not choose to be ignorant when the truth glares at us. Let’s get uncomfortable. Hyderabad Hyderabad’s politics has shamed the city once again when the as the suicide of PhD scholar, Rohit Vermulla indicated a protest to the discrimination against Dalits. Students who raised their voice on the issue were beaten up, molested and kept locked inside the campus with no access to food or electricity. Neither did the media have any access to the campus. The professors, supporting the students implored the assailants question them instead of beating them up but were paid no heed. 3500 students had been sleeping hungry, thirsty and without electricity, locked down inside the University campus.



Calcutta

The peace-loving, culturally enriched city of Bhadroloks has quite an ugly side – Sonagachi, the largest red light district in Asia. The existence of this Godforsaken area is an open secret and the need to address to the carnal desires of humans have led to an agreement to let the area be.

The hinterland of buying and selling human flesh in broad daylight earns Bengal the crown of the being the human trafficking hub of the country. A 2012 report showed 14,000 adults and children going missing from the state – most of them believed to be devoured by the sex market. Sexual abuse of minors is a regular sight in those streets – something, the rest of the city conveniently overlooks.

Delhi

The pathetic irony lies in the statement that Delhi hai Dilwalon ki (Delhi is for those with a heart). Continuing to remain as the rape capital of India, strengthening its rights to be so after the 16 December incident, Delhi is is one of the worst place for a woman to live in but that’s old news.

If there’s something that can get dirtier than the rape and murder of Jyoti Singh on that night, it’d would be the mis-allocation of the Nirbhaya Fund, a measure to ensure women’s safety in the capital. An amount of Rs 3000 crore of the fund has still remained utilized. It’s hard to say if the fund has been “laying idle” or simply blown up.
