The article was worth reading. If only we had 25 to 30 % of Indian girls as brave as Vaishnavi, society would have been vastly different. Salute you Vaishnavi. Wish you are taken up as a role model by Indian girls.
Females should come out of the old "abla naari" mindset and prepare themselves to respond in such bad situations. People will come forward to help but atleast they should prepare to face the situation alone in case there is no one to help.
