DELHI GANGRAPE



A senior politician says rapes are taking place because of ‘provocative item numbers’…..

How do we react to this? And how do we retort when so called moral guardians point out that the brutal and heinous crimes such as rape and gangrape will trim down once the Indian women decide to wear decent clothes? 

Decent clothes !!! Then why do we see these perpetrators targeting women who are fully clad in sarees or salwar kameez? Decent enough right?

Very difficult to comprehend the filthy mindset of these beasts….they could be from slums, from mansions,from any strata, but one thing is common here,they have the least respect for the opposite sex and mostly all of them have been brought up in an environment which is inhabited by wife- beaters and alcoholics.How can we expect men to treat women respectfully when the basic cultural norm is faulty?
Its really overwhelming to see so many friends posting status updates in facebook against such atrocities. But essentially, the need of the hour is to educate menfolk at home and in the society at large to view women as equal to men.

Mayan calendar was not wrong in predicting the Doomsday.I feel world is not a small place to be ruined in a single blow. Its the beginning of an end perhaps. End of everything BAD....

Yesterday a woman ,who came from Nepal looking for her husband,was raped thrice within 24 hours in Mumbai. And we thought Mumbai is a safe place for women!! And how does our esteemed judiciary exactly categorize rare,rarest of rare etc in crimes such as acid attacks and rapes? By the graveness of the victims condition? Her external injury? What about the mental/emotional bruises? High time our judiciary makes amendments. The delay in justice in heinous crimes can only encourage filthy people.

I salute the people of Delhi who have braved the chill apart from lathi charge,tear gas etc to campaign for this cause. Protest against violation of human rights was long overdue. Government has to keep its political interest aside and work towards betterment of the society. We ,the citizens have also realized that we need to play a dynamic role in ushering a change. We are the world afterall !

Eight days and still cannot get her out of my head…the brave girl underwent a sixth surgery yesterday and her condition continues to be critical..perhaps will never be normal…the quality of her future life has been completely ruined by this devilish act. A painful death is what these devils deserve.Should be executed in public, should be lynched. 

“With so many pending rape cases, hanging each of them would mean sending around 60 people to gallows everyday”, lawyers said as the cry for capital punishment grew in the aftermath of Sunday gangrape.Why can’t they gun them down point blank? Kissa khatam .But no,the erudite lot still feels that life imprisonment is the most appropriate punishment.

I am also appalled by the behaviour of the bystanders on that ill-fated day.They could have atleast covered the girl with a shawl or a dupatta. Well, thousands of men and women from different walks of life, mostly young students,  have gathered and held demonstrations at India Gate to protest against the delay in justice.How ironical!! Even after 65 years of independence we are still campaigning for the freedom and safety of women !!

A mere ‘aam aadmi’ like me can only sit and watch while the victims fight for their lives and the rapists roam around freely in the society or serve life sentences in the jail which is no less than a haven for these felons….

The attack on the otherwise nonviolent protest was absolutely unnecessary.Dispersing the agitators,including women and children,beating the journos,breaking their cameras…everything was very much preplanned as is their (Gandhis and PM) conspicuous absence from the actual scene that is the campaign …. .the whole drama about hijacking the campaign and speechbazi by the ministers is nothing new to us.we know pretty well who these antisocial elements are and sent by whom. The youth of our country understands this reasonably well and is not at all shaken by this crackdown.
Yes, a mass protest without a leader can go haywire, but, as of now the outcome has been positive . This crowd consists of JNU students,doctors,engineers,chartered accountants,all of them bright and raring to go….leaders will emerge, just a matter of time………….

People can think I am impractical , especially when I am being so optimistic about something which is so very rare in our country, the 'peoples movement'.commoners voice is seldom heard in our country.This time I have no other option.. I have to believe, need to have faith in the protesters.I have to change myself, and the mindset of my family members,This girl has been so brave , still fighting with death, her tears should not go in vain......................
