Contributed by Zeenia Mian Today a man and his son were brutally murdered in cold blood, while they were on their way to the child’s school.

By Noor Rehman The Author is a Political Science Major from Kinnaird College for Women, and the editor of Reality Romanticized. She has the oddest addiction to Pulpy Orange and likes naming her nearest and dearest after characters from Alice in Wonderland. I’m sorry if this seems irrelevant, random and typically me. It’s just that there’s been a lot of activity on Facebook lately. That was actually how I found out about the rape cases in India and the brutality in my own nation. And while I was looking through the reports and accounts and pleas for “someone to get up and...

Zarminay is a sophomore at Kinnaird College, majoring in Media Studies. She loves keeping herself busy with event management. Today, each one of us is involved in pointing out the wrongs of this country. We are cribbing and whining and detesting every single thing there is to it. We hate the political set up, yet we are the ones who brought the ruling party in power. We despise the feudal hierarchy, but it’s precisely because of us that it continues to function. We detest the patriarchal nature of the society; even then we succumb to the tired, old norms and are unable break free...
