Raksha Bandhan: A Call to Protect Beyond the Ritual

On this Raksha Bandhan, as we honor the bond of protection and love, let us reflect on the deep responsibility we hold as a society to ensure the safety of our women and girls. The recent heartbreaking incident in Calcutta, where a doctor’s life was tragically lost following an act of physical abuse and violence, reminds us of the vulnerabilities women face, even in places where they should feel secure.

This Raksha Bandhan, let’s go beyond tradition and make a collective vow to create a safer environment for every woman and girl in our country. Let our actions reflect a true commitment to their safety, dignity, and well-being.
