What Happened, India? (Part 2)

Such a shame...such a shame...I really didnt know the people of India will have to totally look at their feet one day in front of other countries. India was such a just and great country once upon a time! Its totally become the opposite now! No...I cant blame INDIA...I have to blame some of its people. The world suffers a lot.

The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people. - Napoleon

How true was Napoleon?! The world does suffer a lot. We cannot change the people who do bad to the community, but we can at least raise our voices. We can make our chosen government to do their work. The government sitting there on the seat are responsible to the people. Its high time we raise our voices and tell all those criminals and the government that the "Common man" as we are called, will go to any heights to get what we want. And we want justice. And, we will go to any heights to get it.

After the December 16 case, I thought the government will take some action, and these kind of people will know that they will be dead meat if they attempt anything animal-like. I. Was. Wrong. The government didnt take any action except that Bill and four months after that tragic incident, there is another one. Now, its a five year old innocent. It happened in Delhi. The capital of India. The place people should GO to if they dont feel safe! Instead, people have to run away from there!

And, now its a five year old girl! What's her fault now? "I dont know why did her parents allow her to go out and play." "Wasn't she wearing proper clothes?" or, "Why was she born?" Now, how can you give the excuse that she was partying, staying away late at night, going around with boys, etc, etc?

And why should a girl be armed to feel protected? Why should a girl dress "properly" when she goes out? And, before that question arises, how do you DEFINE "properly"? People say, "If you dont respect girls, you dont respect your mother." Is respecting girls only respecting your mother? Isnt it respecting the girls of the society?

There are so many questions left unanswered. And, I can go on about them forever! But, when will we find answers to these questions is the real thing.

The thing which saddens me the most about the Indians is that they forget until the same incident happens on someone else. Now, there will be protests again for maximum one month and everyone will get back to their lives. Then, again there will be some other incident like this and again there will be protests and then again everything will be "peaceful". This will just keep on going. And, this is also one reason why the Government doesnt take any real action against the criminals. They know that the protestors have to go back to their normal lives. They will just keep on telling we're doing. Yes, they're doing something. They're waiting for the protests to get over.

What we really need to do is never forget. We should continue the protests till we get justice. But, we should be our own leaders. We cant have some other person leading the protests. We saw what happened in the Anna Hazare protests. Everyone got involved in the politics. And, some of them have started a new party for the aam aadmi. We don't need a new party which will be responsible to the people, but we need the old parties to get responsible to the people. India is a developing country. And, there are only some things which are pulling her down. Corruption is one of them. Another is following old superstitions. And, yet another, which is a very important factor, is not respecting women. One more reason is illiteracy, where not respecting women arises.

And, after some months of these incidents, its a young photojournalist going to do her work. Two days after that is a young police constable who was going to see the final rites of her younger sister. And, many more. What wrong did these girls do to be treated so badly? The good part is the photojournalist is alive...and stable. She is out of danger, and she will live to tell the tale. And, she wants the accused to be punished in the worst possible way. This happened in Mumbai, one place which was considered safe for women in India. This was not to be. There are protests around the country supporting the girl. But, we have no idea if the victim will get justice.

These were some stories from India against women. The real question is why? Why? Why is this so common in India, and why dont people report these cases? Why are the police so lenient with the accused? Why does it take years for the victim to attain justice?
India has been spoiled with corruption. Fast track courts also take years to solve a case now. And, the accused get released by some bribes and threats. Why dont the Indians change their perspective? Forget the steps to be taken after everything has happened. Is it right to put extra restrictions on the girl to make her safe? Or, should we educate the men to respect every women they see?

This post has many unanswered questions. And, we need the answers to these questions. I am going to fight for justice, and find answers to the questions. I cannot see India getting disgraced like this because of some dirty elements.
