I was thinking exactly this since yesterday and this article came out today in the Times of India reflecting my exact thoughts - looks like a City of migrants who earlier didn't give a damn... has finally found its SOUL.
NOW truly.... a City is Born!!! :) Happy Birthday Delhi!! ;)
Quoting..."...the protests showed the emerging face of the city’s new woman — one who is confident enough to take part in a protest on her own, would not stop dressing the way she wants to and who refuses to be judged on the basis of her physical attributes.
True, it took a crime as barbaric and brazen as Nirbhaya’s gang rape to awaken the city’s collective spirit. But the reaction, and the subsequent movement, has been a revelation in many ways and shows the city’s emerging spirit.
"Both the city’s police as well as its politicians have been left grappling for ways to deal with this new form and idiom of protest. Of course, rising in protest alone does not give a city its character. The capital has miles to go before it can be said to have acquired a civic character that makes a city great."
Pictures say it all.....
