‘Woh Mere B**bs Ke Bare Mein Kuch Bol Rahe the’: Bengaluru Woman Jogger Shares Viral Video Alleging Inappropriate Remarks From 10-Year-Old Children

Bengaluru, January 20: A viral social media post by a Bengaluru woman has ignited a significant online discussion regarding parenting and the behavior of minors after she alleged that a group of children, aged between 10 and 12, targeted her with inappropriate remarks. The incident, which occurred following her morning run, has prompted thousands of users to weigh in on what many describe as a concerning decline in basic manners and respect among the younger generation.

The Incident Near Bengaluru

The woman, identified as Ritika Suryavanshi, shared her experience in a video posted to Instagram. According to Suryavanshi, the encounter took place in a forested area near the city where she had just completed a 5-kilometer run. She stated that while she was walking toward the exit in standard athletic attire, she was approached by three young boys coming from the opposite direction.

Suryavanshi alleged that as the children passed, they looked at her and made a specific lewd comment about her body before laughing. Initially, she intended to ignore the behavior due to their young age—estimated to be between 10 and 13 years old—but she decided to intervene when the group continued to taunt her as she walked away.

Confrontation and Reaction

The video details how Suryavanshi eventually turned back to scold the children. She reported that the boy who initiated the remark fled immediately, while she advised the remaining children to learn proper manners. "The biggest question is—where are these kids learning all this from?" Suryavanshi asked in her video. She emphasized that the issue was not about her clothing but about the "upbringing and teaching" that allows such young children to feel entitled to harass others. The video was captioned with a pointed critique: “When girls are taught to cover up more than boys are taught to respect.”

Public Response and Societal Concerns

The post has since garnered widespread attention, with the comments section reflecting a mix of shock and shared frustration. Many users praised Suryavanshi for highlighting the issue, noting that such behavior often goes unchecked when the perpetrators are minors. Some commenters pointed out that this incident reflects a broader societal problem where children are exposed to misogynistic content online or within their immediate environments. One user noted that there is an "alarming" lack of scrutiny regarding the values being passed down to the next generation, suggesting that digital and physical environments are shaping children's behavior in ways that parents may not fully realize.

Context of the Debate

This incident adds to a growing conversation in urban India regarding the safety of women in public spaces and the role of early education in preventing harassment. While Bengaluru is often seen as a progressive hub, residents have frequently used social media to voice concerns over street harassment. Experts and social media users alike suggest that the incident serves as a reminder that "street harassment" is not limited to adults and that addressing the root cause requires a focus on behavioral education starting at a very young age.
