THE END of the Beginning.
Everytime the event got bigger by virtue of awareness that reached innocents who dared to face the truth, that they have to fight it out, and everytime someone new spoke, it was realized that they are not alone but there are many who are victims pre threat and post case stage.
When I saw this net photo as an online press release, after the Mega Delhi Dharna with people from 300+ victimes families attending (which in itself was a big event) I said these words and that is “It is the end of the beginning.” The TV coverage on Janmat and India TV was also massive.
And we had Peace Ride in Mumbai for a change we also had all the non affected families who participated in the ride but knew about the misuse of wife laws. We shouted “Biwi Sataye Hume Bataye” the one liner suggested by Victim Amitabh some days ago, and the best part was the non affected people also chanted slogans “Save Indian Family” “Stop the Misuse of Law” and somewhere down the line the slogan chanted by them became “Patni Sataye Hume Bachaye” The old attitude is definitely changing.
Thanks to SIF Movement that has come a long way, and for today’s Peace ride thanks to “Bombay Bikers Association”, Sundaram - TVS Group, Archana Singh of Channel 7 who has always understood this side of the coin too, The asian Age and Hinduatan Times, The Mumbai Police and Traffic Police who offline shared with us their pleasure in seeing this ride on a bigger scale next year and the surprised crowd who cheered by waving hands.
Save Indian Family
