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 22nd January but there was some
technical issues so new death warrants was issued and now they will be hanged
on 1st 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.
