bell bajao

Seen the “bell bajao” advertisement ever while surfing through t.v. channels?
Bell bajao, according to me is this superb concept of curbing domestic violence… Though it has come to action only in places like Mumbai, I think it’s a good start…


An NGO called breakthrough in 2008, started a campaign encouraging people to ring the doorbell of the house where one knew domestic violence was taking place…

So in a country like India that boasts of being on the path to development still has place for something as ugly as a man beating up a woman within the house just because he married her doesn’t sound very “developy” to me…

Now Mumbai isn’t the only place this is happening okay… it’s a commonplace occurrence in many parts of the country… these things don’t go unnoticed… people just pretend to not notice…
