Monster in manThe growing number of women harassment cases at workplace call for deeper introspection (‘How safe is a woman at her workplace’ by Aditi Tandon; Sunday Tribune, December 1). Family and society should help instill values, but it is for an individual to regulate his own conduct. Women should not be viewed as sex objects. Unfortunately, restrain as a meaningful personality trait is lacking in many men. Understanding the meaning of and imbibing the essence of ‘dama’ and ‘shama’ (connoting control of senses and mind) from the Gita will help check crime against women. Dr Sanjay Pathak, email II Despite the new anti-rape law, instances of assaults on women continue. Just making laws will not help. These must be enforced strictly. Women should acquaint themselves with the new law and speak up at the earliest. Self-defence exercises may also be helpful. The government should ensure women are safe at the workplace as well as public space. SC Vaid, Greater Noida
