Yeah..our Judicial system, the police force & especially the
herd that sits in the Parliament. What a shame duty has to take. What a shame
to offer (as opposed to the usual ‘norm’ around here, of taking) money to keep mum. How
would a mom keep mum? How would anybody keep mum? The nation is once again in
uproar. The policy-makers, rule-changers & corruption-breeders are holed up
inside their forts, protected by layer after layer of security.
What made them go soft on the rapists? What made them treat
these worse-than-savage-ogres to a 3 square meals a day with a high end secure
place to stay, where, maybe they think back upon their barbaric act with
amusement & feel safe from the raging crowd outside, jostling to tear their
limbs apart?
These are wanton
demons walking around in guise of a regular & typical commoner, eyeing
every one of the opposite gender without segregation, a toddler or an elderly
woman. It’s just enough to know that he could keep someone in thrall &
satisfy himself. Show the beast he is!
Debates & discussions, disputes & deliberations are
held not only on national television, but in every household, around every
dinner table, in every office cubicle and outside every college canteen, to met
out the befitting crown of glory on these licentious brutes. Have mercy. Have
mercy on the victims & their families. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Wouldn’t my voice drown out in midst of scores of others,
demanding the same thing? But the only voices that would be heard will be of
those non-educated brutes who make soft rules keeping in mind that tomorrow
they will have to rescue one of their very own from the same crime.
Tie my hands tight & strap my mouth. Leave my eyes open
to descry the struggle of the physically weak. Leave my ears open to get an
earful of the shrieking & screeching. And smell the innocent blood reeking
around me.
I can imagine the mindset when you would have written it. I have been through this a number of times, so many times that now I do not feel anything when I hear it one more time. It's like it has become a 'norm' now.
ReplyDeleteAm I suggesting we should just a turn blind eye on it? No. But when the tragedy continues for too long, it doesn't seem so. Now, all I could think is that we should just be vigilant about ourselves and our close ones. Because expecting someone else to be responsible for our safety is like asking for a little too much.
Is there an end to it? I think yes. But not until we have a legal system which takes month just hear what actually happened. Till the time, there is no swift judgement, then and there. Till the time, the animals are not brutalised back. Till the time, we will have to keep our anger pent up, I do not think much is gonna change.
For now, I have started to ignore these kinds of news.
It's true, that we get to hear so much of this kind of news that we get numb or insensitive. We might only wake up or react, when we find that the latest victim is someone we know!
