The rakhi message that matters

One of the most poignant messages on social media on a day that is meant to remind men to be protective of their sisters came from Arjun Kapoor. Kapoor, brother of Anshula, Janhvi, Sonam, and Khushi Kapoor, shared, “I’m about to go and celebrate Raksha Bandhan with my sisters. It feels really strange to celebrate a festival with what’s happening [now], which has to do with protecting your sisters, and being there for the women in your life. Why aren’t we taught how to make the environment safe enough for all our sisters to roam around without needing a brother? We need to teach men that they need to make women feel safe rather than teach them to protect women. Basic understanding is lacking in our ecosystem. I don’t know how much this will change the way people think, but it’s something that’s been on my mind.” The actor was evidently making a reference to the Kolkata rape and murder case of a doctor who was assaulted at the hospital she was working in.
