Rape. Yet again.
Ironically, most of the times the girl used to be put under scanner; what happened this time?
Girls are not supposed to be gregarious.. are supposed to underplay to avoid getting over noticed.
But, what could a five year old have possibly done to cause this heinous crime?!!!
I have been resisting myself to write about Delhi victim but admitting here that I never really prayed for her survival. According to me there was no life left for her. All I wished for her was less pain(physical & emotional). However I was pretty sure that this wouldn't had happened by her coming back to the same society. If the relief had to come via no-more-breaths-to-bear, let it may. And it happened.
No, I am not talking about physical recovery of hers that is too overt to mention. Following such incidents, the emotional and social factors are far more important. Even if I believe the claims that she wanted to live and indeed was a brave heart to overcome emotional trauma, the social factor alone would have been too torturous to live a normal life.
I might sound discouraging here but speaking the bitter truth- that is how our society is.
Just imagine yourself crossing her on a street, even in the best of your intellect, intention and gesture you would look at her once with sympathy/pity. You just wont ignore her like another passerby! And that, my hypocrite society, will revive the pain and leave the cut bleeding once again.
Or, for example take another immensely followed social norm- Marriage. I am damn sure no man would be manly enough to marry her.
Now.. what is the solution?
Honestly speaking I don't know and practically speaking there is no thumb rule.
Probably a mixture of the following would do some betterment: A 'justified' justice, wisdom to react in dicey situations, improved public security and the most important and difficult part - educate the youth to be socially responsible, remain humane and respect women!!!
May someday we have a safer society!
Nothing much to say on such incident.
ReplyDeleteI feel shame being a man, because things always come to complete man-hood. I feel shame when people comment like fucking crap (she should not go out late night, she should not wear this, she should do job, she should only handle home). And the worst thing, those who say these stupid things are the one who are handling us.
I know sitting at other part of world saying this all is quite easy and yes its also true that if I am there, I could not do anything, not because m not capable of doing this, but because I wont be having time to think about others, I would only be thinking, how to save my loved ones.
In the end, I would only say one thing, People say Delhi is not safe, that place is safe, just on the basis of numbers. Ask that person, who is victim of it, for her whole world is not safe.
I could only request people, not to blame place or whole society, find out the culprits and screw them in-front of whole world. That's the only option as of now.
We just need to make these kind of people a bit fearful while they think to attempt such things.
Sorry, dint say, a very well thought and very well composed...
Thanks for sharing your views...
Nobody seems to question the right questions.I am perplexed and not been able to figure out for quite some time now that how the human race is addressing its gluttony for material objects and to what blatant limits it can go for the satiation for the voraciousness. Incidents like rape with a toddler are really disturbing and infact forces us to lament on the fact that we live in a dehumanised society where personal affairs have actually supplanted social obligations.I feel more sorry for the accused than the victim.

ReplyDeleteलोकतंत्र बीमार अब, है जनता में रोष।
इक दूजे पर थोपते, अपना अपना दोष।।
बातें जन-हित की करें, स्वार्थ न करते दूर।
आम लोग सच जानते, साथ चले भरपूर।।
जागो देश निवासियों, नहीं हुई है देर ।
बनी रहे बस एकता, दुश्मन होंगे ढेर।।
नहीं गुलामी देश में, फिर भी है संताप।
छोड़ गये अंग्रेज पर, शेष रह गयी छाप।।
प्रकृति नियम हरदम यही, होंगे ही बदलाव।
बहे हवा के संग कुसुम, उससे नहीं लगाव।।
