GUWAHATI GIRL-ANOTHER ATROCITY.............

Another atrocity , another horrid video in circulation ,another bait for the audience , another scoop for the print media and ANOTHER REASON TO RETHINK .........................................................................

The Guwahati girl is just another news for the media ,be it print or electronic.The TRPs have definitely rocketted at the cost of someones misery and who cares? The girl was molested in full public view for half an hour and no one protested leave alone beat the hooligans.We talk about fighting terrorism,hanging Ajmal Kasab blah blah.............what about these terrorists who are roaming scotfree in our society and making a mockery of the Law and Order ??
Why only women ,I feel even the men are not safe in this city and in our country in general.The clan of anti-social elements is huge and increasing.What is more appalling here is the attitude of the media ,which needs to go  for some serious introspection.The crew which recorded the whole incident justifies its action with the logic that not recording it would have left the girl and her guardians with no evidence.

TWO QUESTIONS-------
a) Does it take half an hour to click someones picture if the sole purpose is that of gathering an evidence?
b)If they had recorded the whole scene to help the girl ,then why did they not maintain the secrecy of the evidence rather than circulating it in the various news channels and social networking sites?

We often talk about equality and parity but all that is theoritical.Whenever an incident like this is highlighted ,fingers start pointing towards the female involved in the whole ordeal.Take for example the Park Sreet rape case.As if it was normal for a woman who frequents nightclubs to be raped,and till date we do not even know whether the actual culprit has been nailed or not.Who is bothered? Those who had to make money by selling that news were successsful,and we the public were happy discussing it during some quality family time.
Another day,the newshungry people get Pinkt Pramanik to talk about.And now this Guwahati Girl.Life goes on and we keep reading and go on watching till a day comes and some girl from our family is tortured or molested or raped in a full public glare.And that is when we realise the embarrasment and the emotional stress that the families of such victims suffer at the hands of police and our honourable judiciary.

I want to strongly make a statement that punishment for these rogues and rapists should be no different than that of the terrorists-THEY SHOULD BE HANGED .........................................................................
