Humanity at Dusk


It’s not even an year to “Delhi Gang Rape Case” and another such barbaric activity took place in our so called “Dream City - Mumbai”. It is not the matter of pity over such increasing cases day by day but it is a matter of great shame for us. Both the incidents came as a shock to me and to every other active citizen of this country too. My conscience felt trembled when I read about the inhumane treatment they gave to the girl. Even the thoughts of her condition scare the hell out of me. I have to see the most pathetic condition of our country when every day I open newspaper and I have to read the same news here or there. 

What has happened to our law and judicial power?
Why we cannot expect justice from anywhere?
Why are those demons still roaming outside?
When I look for answers to such questions, I feel disappointed because nobody has any answer other than the lame consolation that “We’ll take some strict actions!”
But what should we do when we see no sign of any action!

Moreover when the parents were asked about the felony, rather than regretting what has happened they are defending such evil minds by saying “Our child is innocent, he is an intelligent student and he is not even an adult, how can he indulge in such a crime. And even If he did so, there might be some fault of the girl” 
Respected people, If your son was so much innocent then what was he doing with four other criminals in an abandoned mill or What was he doing in an empty city bus roaming illegally in the city at midnight. 
Do you have any answer for that?
He might not be preparing for any competitive examination there!

What could we expect from such people after these lame excuses?
And why a girl is always considered at fault. 
What was her fault, that she was a girl? 
That she was doing her job? 
Or 
She was happy in her life?

I salute the tremendous courage of that victim who is fighting for such monstrous activity and says “I want no other woman in this country to go through such brutal physical humiliation. The perpetrators should be punished severely as they have ruined my life. No punishment short of a life term will take away my pain, the humiliation and the physical abuse I underwent.”  
Even the doctors have praised her for her exemplary courage in dealing with the trauma she went through.

It’s not about one woman today. We also have Sisters, Friends and other women in our lives. 
After witnessing such scornful events even I don’t consider this society a safer place for any girl related to me. Today, being a brother or a friend even I feel afraid when my sister or any friend goes anywhere alone just because of those demons roaming outside and hunting for their next target.
What If such thing has happened to them? 
What If we were on the place of such victims?

Protesting and Crying won’t work here. What we need is to develop that respect in our heart. Respect for women, respect for every other girl around us and raising our voice against every such horrendous activity. There still are people who consider them a material to play, an Item of their fun. People who want to suppress them. There also are people who don’t want girls to cross their home’s boundary. How could I trust a society where females are being suppressed and exploited each and every day.

Why can’t we see a girl doing good in her life?

This all will have to change; we have to change our mindset. And being the youth and a responsible citizen of this country we need to aware people for this too.
Now we can’t just sit putting hand on hand.
