Experiences of the pain words can cause || by Swapnil Saundarya & Painter Babu Rishabh



A painting collection by Rishabh Shukla aka Painter Babu under 'Go achromatic, Go black and white for a cause' digital campaign' to raise awareness about the damage done through verbal abuse........

Releasing a series of powerful paintings in a bid to dispel the old myth that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”...........

The scars of emotional abuse are invisible, and victims of abuse don’t often talk about it. In the context of this painting collection, however, people really opened up. It was a cathartic experience for a lot of us.

We found that physical abuse and verbal abuse often go hand-in-hand, and the choice to render emotional harm rather than physical harm is just that: a choice. There were people that we’ve known for a long time who shared their views for this art collection, and we heard personal stories of abuse that really surprised us, stories we had never heard. 


The question now arises, how much harm can a few words do ?

Words hurt just like sticks and stones.

We all know this, despite the adage. When we were planning this art collection, a  women who was a victim of  “just” verbal abuse  commented that she wished she'd been hit so that “her wounds and scars would show.” 

There are physical and emotional consequences of “just” verbal abuse. The effects of parental verbal aggression were comparable to “those associated witnessing domestic violence or nonfamilial sexual abuse.” In fact, verbal aggression produced larger effects than familial physical abuse. There’s evidence too that exposure to verbal abuse in childhood actually alters the structure of the brain especially during the middle school years, when the brain is actively developing, exposure to peer bullying and verbal abuse caused changes to the white matter in the brain.

Just because we can’t see the wounds doesn’t mean they aren’t literally and physically there. The rise of juvenile crime is linked to childhood emotional abuse. We must get parents and teachers understand that harsh words can have serious consequences.








Sections 294A and 294B of Indian penal code have legal provisions for punishing individuals who use inappropriate or obscene words (either spoken or written) in public that are maliciously deliberate to outrage religious feelings or beliefs. In February 2015, a local court in Mumbai asked police to file a first information report against 14 Bollywood celebrities who were part of stage show of All India Bakchod, a controversial comedy stage show known for vulgar and profanity based content. In May 2019 during the election campaign, the Prime minister of India listed out the abusive words the opposition Congress party had used against him and his mother during their campaign.

In January 2016, a Mumbai based communications agency initiated a campaign against profanity and abusive language called "Gaali free India" (Gaali is the hindi word for profanity). Using creative ads, it called upon people to use swacch (clean) language on the lines of Swacch Bharat mission for nationwide cleanliness. It further influenced other news media outlets who further raised the issue of abusive langugage in the society especially incest abuses against women.


So, lets take pledge to eradicate abusive words from our vocabulary and say 'NO' to verbal abuse  for a better and progressive India.

Be a part of our 01 year Digital Campaign 'FORGET ME NOT'|| 

Say No to VAWGC (Violence against Women, Girls & Children)


FORGET ME NOT : Go Achromatic to End VAWGC

An Initiative by Swapnil Saundarya & Painter Babu Rishabh............


Forget me not :: Go black and white for a cause by Swapnil Saundarya and Painter babu Rishabh is a one year #digital #campaign with the mission to win the battle against social evils in the form of VAWGC prevailing in our society. 

We are planning to combine #technology, #socialmedia, the #arts, #journalism, religion, #culture, #business and #activism in a bid to highlight the many ways in which violence devastates women, girls and children through this digital campaign.

This  campaign is going to popularise the black and white colours as a symbol of personal commitment to the eradication of violence against women,girls and children. The  black and white colour dress or ribbon symbolises the commitment of the wearer to “never commit or condone violence against the vulnerable, and to speak out about violence where they see it”. If you have feedback, please let us know . We’d love to hear from you.

Let’s Go Acromatic and make a difference in ending violence against women, girls and children everywhere.


We believe that all women, girls and children have the right to be free from physical,sexual and psychological violence.Violence against women, girls and children is never justifiable and can be prevented. 


We are also introducing concepts called Participatory communication and action, Art Activism and Protest Art through this campaign. Participatory communication has been defined as “a dynamic, interactional, and transformative process of dialogue between people, groups, and institutions that enables people, both individually and collectively, to realize their full potential and be engaged in their own welfare.”

Art Activism is a dynamic practice combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change. And Protest art acts as an important tool to form social consciousness, create networks, operate accessibly, and be cost-effective. Social movements produce such works as the signs, banners, posters, and other printed materials used to convey a particular cause or message.
