Gang Rape? What does it expose

Delhi Gang rape victim dies after the Haryana gang rape victim commits suicide, A sad week in the history of Gang rape in India.  The women of India are respected more than ever before and women of India are progressing ever. We have the best women leaders and businesswoman compared to many other countries and you would find women in every walk of life in India. The rape of Indian women has also been on the rise. Its time to introspect and take action for every person irrespective of the gender. You can see girls roaming with no fear in Mumbai at late night, but 9 pm in Delhi is dangerous for any person. Where are we heading to ? Are we mature enough to be modern. A big question to the  Indian society.

A society that has allowed the fairer sex to come forward and drive the nation. Equality and Inclusivity coming at the price of rape is hard to digest, Does it require a few lessons to be taught to the dominant sex about behaving themselves and respecting others. Many thoughts come into mind of the various ways people have dealt with these rapes. A few people questioned the time at which she was outside while others were talking about the increase of atrocities on women. Whom are we supposed to blame?  The government, the leaders or the society or We the people.
    The government and the whole system has been trying to do its best with respect to protection of women. Indian system does not have its checks and balances and most importantly does not have a time frame to implement justice. The cases go on for years before justice is delivered. I can quote many instances where justice has been delayed or denied. Secondly the government does not have any sort of accountability except to suspend its junior most officers whenever something comes up.  Thirdly the Indian male does have the perception that he can escape by committing a crime since its mostly a male dominated society and the corruption that runs in the blood veins of the society. Lastly the effect of alcohol in many crimes and accidents in India have been disastrous.  From celebrities to truck drivers to motorists , the last couple of decades have seen the rise of accidents and crimes where alcohol had its presence.

All these factors are a huge combination and a disaster awaiting to happen  but the current society will forget Damini like the movie with the same name since tomorrow is another day and awaits another headline.

Mostly agree with you... But We need not be Modern to respect women or even to let them go outside around 9:00 PM. Now-a-days, women feelings are less in concern only they are shown as sex objects. Even some of them also behave/act like that. Just to say, You just watch any Bollywood movie in recent times and can see the lead women role would just be to make love with the lead male guy, play some duets and there would be a lot of skin shows... What are we watching boss?? Even none of these Women protection/rights commission object that, being Sharmila Tagore(a women) in the censor board key position. Modernization is different and matured thinking is different.
Having said above things, I agree in most of the things you wrote. Everything is in our minds and environment we grew up.

Of Saints and corrupt ministers

Last couple of weeks is the few weeks I had to relax a bit. As life starts to catch me again, let me write about a few stories of the week. A saint a philosopher and a self proclaimed avatar of God reaches his final destination in the journey of life. He proclaimed that he would live till 96 for starters. A man who made millions to follow him. History would support him as being the most influential and spiritual leader in Hinduism to have effected the most number of Indians. He leaves a legacy of good deeds and I neither know the truth in his scandals nor completely approve of his so called magic. Whatever he has done, hopefully the good deeds initiated by his followers continue. 40K crores and a few set of reliable trustees, now is the time when the drama begins. Moving on to the next stories. The daughter of DMK chief is chargesheeted for being a part of the 2G scandal. No money lost but lots of people getting involved shows a violent system. Suresh Kalmadi is arrested for his role i...

Tryst with Destiny

Today is April 11 th, the day I was born. Just as usual this birthday is supposed to be a relatively calm day. Shopping was the trend of the day.I have seen my bro saying that its been 6 yrs since the graft bill has not been cleared so that money stashed abroad can be brought to India. One thing about being in India and not being in India is that you get an outsiders view about Indian politics so you are no more biased about liking a party. Here you would find people with doctorates go crazy over their affiliations with a faction but you can also observer that people can become more matured on comparing our leaders to the leaders of the world. The initiatives, the concerns and how the other governments are trying to overcome common problems can be seen as a clear difference between a leader and a politician. The learned are more concerned about the Nuclear fuel and its energy while they forget the basic 3 things required for a common man. Food, Clothing and Shelter are no more the prio...

chali gayi

Udne ke armaan dil me jaga huye, Hum chale udne ke liye Saath mein jab thak woh thi, unhi armaanoon se jee raha tha, woh udhkar chali gayi, tanha chodkar chali gayi, safar ke raaste mein palat ke chali gayi, pure zindagi ke vaade ko thodkar chali gayi, pata nahin kyun humein pyaar ke nashe mein doobakar chali gayi tanhai se mohabbat kiye they , unhone zindagi se mohabbat karna sikhaya, par jab wahi zindagi bani, mujhe tanhai se jodkar woh chali gayi
