Yet another case and will be
forgotten once the hype is over by the media. A 6 year old raped in school!!!
Well I don’t really have words to express my feelings about this episode. With
passing time we are only witnessing how cruel and sick people’s mentalities are
becoming. All these while we were worried of our daughters when they grew up
but now children are not left out either, with fear cropping in all our minds
of how safe our children are; even in school premises, leave about their safety
elsewhere. We only switch news channels to hear what will happen next. Yes the
criminal will be put behind the bars, may be bailed out after some days or may
not be, the system might be generous enough to announce a lifetime sentence or
for once they may agree to hang them till death. Oh yes and how can I not hope some
human rights people may then come up to comment that hanging till death is in
human, we never know. My point here is: “whatever
it might be; but is that enough????”
Why there is no fear in the
culprit’s minds before doing such horrendous act? Is it that such crimes are
increasing with time or is it just that things get more coverage and exposure
these days?
I am disturbed with this incident
so much so that I can’t stop thinking about the pain the little angel must be
going through. It just shakes me from within. Even if she has the most
supporting parents and friends who help her to overcome this but will the
little child ever be able to forget the trauma that she has been through? Will
it not shake her entire personality, behavior and confidence? The thought of it
is so disheartening that I don’t even dare to imagine what her parents must be
going through.
It feels so helpless for not
being able to do anything or think of anything so that such incidents stop. I
know I can’t change people’s mentality and save everyone. Yes the damage is
done and nothing can mend it. But can we
do something about punishing the accused at least? At least some law to heal
the hammered souls of so many such rape victims? Something like a separate jail
for the rape accused, where in they are curled and put inside a cube after cutting
their private parts and left there to feel the pain forever until their last
breath? Will it make the potential future bastards think 100 times before even
looking at any girl with that mentality?
Can we as a society take some
responsibility now towards mandating women safety? Instead of being scared and
thinking of ways to go abroad and settling, instead of finding ways to ensure
our daughters go to the nearest school so that we don’t have to send them in a
school bus and can pick and drop them ourselves, instead of making up our minds
to not send our daughters out alone; can all the schools make it mandatory for
girls to attend and master self-defense courses like Karate or anything
similar? Can the central boards make it a mandatory subject for girls for
standard 10th? Can we ensure women can take care of themselves to face
this cruelty whenever needed with how much ever power and energy they have? If it is a gang then a woman must be confident enough to hit one among them so
hard between the legs that they can never get up again. This confidence might
make the cowards sense their “Aukat” and they might go to hide their faces? Why only in schools, I think an initiative should be taken to support a drive to teach
self-defense for every woman in every part of India. I know that small 6 year
old child wouldn’t have been able to save herself from the two wolves even if she
had started a course on self-defense, but in many cases this would definitely help!!!
Friends, can we something about
changing this irresponsible behavior and induce some fear in the minds of such bastards?
I feel disgusted to again go back to my world to just sit and watch what
happens next , who is next, when it happens next and be afraid of such
incident.
Can someone hear me shout in disgust and pain that this has reached the threshold and we need to do something about it to stop it here!!!! I am trying to figure out what I can do about this.
