Day 454

    In my last post, I wrote about the capital punishment awarded to the accused of the Nirbhaya rape case. Now there are a lot of things going on after the issue of death warrant. The capital punishment has to be given on 1^st February 2020. Now one of the accused, Mukesh Singh has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the rejection of mercy petition by the President of India. I think this is another afford to get extension in the capital punishment.

    I wonder why this petition has been filed against the rejection of the mercy petition. I don’t see any logic in this. I agree that many of you will say that there is legal process which can’t be overlooked. Its true and I agree with this. There is universal statement that it doesn’t matter whether hundred hard core criminals are released by the court of law but no innocent can be punished by the court of law. But the thing which is happening here is just to have more time to postpone the proceeding of the capital punishment.

    But now the whole thing is clear now. The date of the death sentence is around the corner. The justice will be done within couple of days. But according to me, the justice was delivered after a long time. It should have been done earlier. But one thing came in my notice that there are huge number of cases pending in the Indian courts. In Supreme Court only, about 61,000 cases are pending. High courts are having backlog of about more than 40 lakh pending cases and subordinated courts have 2.85 crore cases.

    Now the question comes in my mind that how so many cases are still pending in the courts? What is the reason behind this? Is it a fashion to keep the cases pending? What makes to delays the verdict? There are many questions like this. But what are the real reason for the delay verdict? Sometimes, the verdict comes after a decade or so. Sometimes, the accused died while the case is going on. What may be the reason behind this? Is the low number of judges hearing the cases one of the reason? According to me, sometimes, lawyers while arguing the case then they ask for time for further investigation or to give further evidences.

    Sometimes, the theory of investigating all the evidences and looking into every possible angle becomes the main reason behind the delay in delivering the verdict. But I hope that soon this system will be changed and the delay time will be reduced.

Day 453

    Well, it’s been always said that Indian judiciary is the most lengthy judiciary process in the world. It’s true also that if you file a case then there is no surety that the verdict will come soon. Many high profile cases has taken long time as much close three decades. Here I would like to take the example of Babri mosque. After 27 years of demolishing the mosque, the Supreme Court of India has given the final verdict in this case. Same thing happened in very high profile cases also. But few cases are there where the judgement has come in less spam of time like seven years. Here I’m talking about the Nirbhaya case, where the four remaining culprits have been awarded death sentence by the court.

    We all remember the barbaric act of six animal mentality persons who did this inhuman act. One of the six persons committed suicide in the jail and one was released by the court under Juvenile law as he was under legal age at the time of crime. This judgement made my faith in the court a bit shattered. If a 17 year boy can rape a girl then he can’t be treated as an underage person. But the law is law. Surprisingly, the same convict was offered monetary support and a sewing machine to open a ladies tailoring shop by Mr Arvind Kejrival. He I                                              s the same person who always says that his priority is to give freedom and security of women in his state. But I doubt his mental state. Anyway, I won’t comment on his metal state now.

    The convicts were to be hanged on 22^nd January but there was some technical issues so new death warrants was issued and now they will be hanged on 1^st February. All the precautions and proceedings are been taking place to monitor them round the clock in the Tihar jail. The convicts have tried their every legal way to get their death sentence diverted into life imprisonment but all the things have turned against them. Even the President of India has denied their demand of pardoning their death sentence. This has proved that now the culprits won’t be spared at any cost. I think this is a good think. If you have brutally killed a person then you should be hanged. It’s true that tit for tat isn’t the right thing but sometimes it become utmost necessary to take revenge otherwise there will be detonation in the society. Sometimes, non-violence leads to covertness and encourage violence to expand its wings.

    But one questions comes in my mind. Why this is still happening in India? Why the number of rape cases isn’t down falling? Why the rape victims aren’t going to the courts for the right verdict? Recently, the same type of rape case happened in Hyderabad also where a vetnary doctor was raped by four men. Why our society is going so down morally? Why the females are still seen as sex objects in the society? These questions needed to be answer. Some strong steps has to be taken by the society first. Then we can expect something from the government and the court of law. Actually, until and unless we get our mindsets changed till then nothing is going to happen. We need to change the mindsets of everyone in the society.

    For these, we need to change the mind-set of the parents first. Still, there are many states in our country where till date boys are given preference over the girls. Still the mind-set is there that boys are the carrier of the family linage to the next generation.

    I think that there are many reasons of the social mind-set. One of the reasons has been mentioned in the above paragraph. Second reason is that there are many states in our country where the female to male ratio is very less. This means there are more number of males in comparison of females. Third reason is the lack of formal sex education in our educational system. Still sex is considered as an objectionable subject in our education system. In my view, unless and until, we don’t do anything in this direction then we can’t eradicate this mentality. I’m not saying that we will eradicate this mentality hundred percent but we can bring some change by changing the mind-set.

     Recently, I saw a video on a social networking site. Two young girls were wearing shorts and shirts and they were sitting in a public place and were talking amongst themselves. Many boys were just staring at them. Few times they have changed their seats and one boy was always seen sitting next to those girls and it was quiet clear that he was chasing them. The audio wasn’t clear at that time, but it seems he was taunting them. Other boys and males were looking at those girls and the boy but none of public was doing anything except watching the show. Suddenly, a boy came forward and started questioning the person who was commenting the girls. The person vanished soon but more people came there again with that boy. These people were filming the whole thing from a distance and when the boy was asked that what forced him to come in defence of the girls then the boy said that he observed that he felt uncomfortable when the girls were been targeted and none came forward for the defence of the girls. Actually, this video has depicted the true mentality of our society. This has to be changed. We need to change the system. Believe me, no government can work alone until the public will support it.

   

Day 452

I used to think that JNU is one of the top most centres for higher studies in India. Getting admitted to JNU really proves the intellectual of the students. But the recent activities in JNU campus is forcing me to think that has the renowned university become the centre for protests and vandalism? Anything happens and there is strike and violence in the JNU campus. What is going on there? Whole situation is becoming like a ticking time bomb which will blast any day and the consequence will be not good for the future of the students and it will definitely damage the name and fame of the JNU.

I wonder that why the so called intellectual students are raising anti national slogans in the campus. Why they are shouting ‘Kashmir ki azadi tak jung chalegi, Bharat ke barbadi tak jung chalegi’? Why the students are ashamed that the killers of a terrorist are alive? Are the students studying there were family members or friends of Afzal Guru? Students were gathering in the campus to celebrate the killing of 72 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh who were killed by the Naxalites. Various faces came out of JNU after these protests like Kanhiya Kumar and Umar Khalid. Personally speaking, I think JNU must be proud of Kanhiya Kumar who is very much ashamed that Afzal Guru’s killers that means Indian army is still alive.

I think JNU should introduce patriotism as a compulsory subject in its curriculum. Then only the students will understand the value and services given to the country by the Indian army and para military forces. I wonder how the JNU administration could can allow the meeting of the students who wanted to celebrate the killing of 72 CRPF personnel. Who are those teachers who are teaching anti country subject to the students studying in JNU? Is JNU becoming the centre of anti-national campaigns?

Here I would like to ask few questions to Kanhaiya Kumar. Why did he want to fight till the destruction of India? What are his political or personal revenge against the entire country? Why he idolise Afzal Guru? A person who was known as a terrorists by the entire world how became the idol of a brilliant student like Kanhaiya Kumar. I have seen many political debates on the various television channels where Kanhaiya Kumar has asked that why he wasn’t arrested by the police if he was guilty of anti-national activities. But surprisingly, to encase his popularity after the so called protest in the JNU campus, he contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election from his native place. No wonder he was rejected by the voters because voters won’t tolerate anti national person to be their representative.

Day 451

    I won’t say that I’m late again. Every time I have decided to write continuously then something happens and my aim to write continuously is hampered. Many times I have asked the same question to myself. Only answer which I get is my professional life. I don’t know how others get time to pursue their hobbies.

   Not only the professional life is the sole reason but sometimes I feel that lack of idea is also one of the main reason. Few days back or rather say couple of months back, I was talking with one of my old friends. He has just starting blogging and he was asking me that why I have left blogging. I told him that I haven’t left blogging but told him the true answers which I have written above. He laughed and said that due to me he has started writing blog and I have become inactive. Due to his little encouragement and I would like to add a little push from his side, I thought to start writing again.

    I haven’t decided to focus on the topics on which I have to write because that makes me more late to write because I want to write on something based on some conclusion. Conclusive thinking makes a presentation nicer. That’s the thing which I always keep in my mind.

    I think I should stop here for today. There has to be some work done before writing my next post. In the end, I would again like to say thanks to my friend who has ignited a small spark in me to write again. I hope and I wish that this time the spark turns into a flame of the torch.
