*How long will we tolerate this? *

The persistent problem of rape continues to shake us, despite claims of social progress. We're still stuck in the dark ages of male dominance, trampling women's rights and dignity. Have we really moved on from that era? Dr. Moumita's case symbolizes our anger, pain, and hatred against this barbarity.

While people protest, shout slogans, and light candles, is that enough? Are we just reacting, or is it time for concrete action? This problem won't end with slogans alone. Rapists hide in plain sight, thriving in society and creating new faces of evil. We must stop pretending to be aware and actually join the fight. It's time to change our mindset, end our apathy, and stand up against every injustice. It starts with small actions, but we need to start. I'm doing my part; now it's your turn. Just standing up isn't enough; we need to lead from the front.

This may seem confrontational, but it's the beginning of change. If we remain silent today, the same injustice will knock on our door tomorrow. Wake up, stand up, and stay safe. Join this struggle.
