This is my
very last blog post. After being in Canada for nearly a month, I am still
trying to get back to normal routine as I finish up my project for school,
which will be presented on Monday, January 28th.
Reflecting
back on my project, I realize how much I learned in such a limited amount of
time. Women’s rights in India is an extremely big topic to tackle, and having
the blog set up while I was away helped me organize my information as I
traveled. If I had stayed longer in India, I would have researched my topic
further and more in depth, as I was only scratching the surface of women’s
rights.
The rape
case that occurred on December 16th was truly a terrible crime but
sometimes terrible things need to happen so that better things can come. This
crime, that was in every newspaper in India and was talked about daily, helped
me to explore new topics in my blog while I was traveling and gave me lots to
think about. It was also interesting to see how India responded to this crime
and, I think that, many years from now,
December 2012 will be remembered as the beginning of a new era for women’s
rights in India.
I want to thank all of my readers for keeping up with my
blog while I was traveling around India and for taking a deeper interest into
the different issues I was looking at. Posting new updates, and reading your
comments was one of the highlights of the trip.
Thank you all so much.
