RAPE-The harsh reality, the victims and the apathy and the cruel laws that make the accused stronger need to be harnessed and tied down.The options are plenty and protests strongly making a point.The politicians,the law makers, the police authorities etc are all supposed to deliver.The point we are to think as well is"what about society and its mental health"?What about the basic upbringing and respect for individuals?What about cinema and the brazen western rub offs which the people out here are not able to digest?What about the ladies who too could be instrumental in ticking of the initial sparks that trigger the male ego?
So many questions and ofcourse we know, one shoe doesn't fit all.
Hang them!!!!!What if this is used across the board?Isn't there a possibility that the cops mess up the evidences, or fabricate it under political pressure to jam an innocent victim instead?Who would stand by them?What if an innocent person goes to the gallows due to indiscriminate corruption and brazen political pressures?How many can you send to jail for 25 years??How many jails do we have to cover 1 rape taking place every 22nd minute in the country as per the stats available?Inspite of all the media coverage the rapes are still taking place.Political persons making statements that for which they should be hanged instead or make them go through what the victim has suffered!!!
The Cinema in India is coming of age but the people who see that are not.Why not be responsible producers and directors who can bring in clean cinema like 3 idiots for example?The gory fight, murders and kickass scenes instill a false belief in these youngsters especially up north and drive them to do such horrendous crimes.Mahesh Bhatt and his jism and sunny leone and the commercial angle earns him money and he shoots of his mouth with so called intelligent lingo that doesn't make any sense to the raw Indians on the troubled land that that they live in.Go down and get a hands on experience to see what happens on DTC buses, living in UP, Bihar and facing the panchayats and dealing with mindsets of people in the villages.The Khaps have a point though they are nobody to decide.They state the same.What if the law of capital punishment is misused in a case like rape?????It 's a tricky situation.
We as a society apart from having endless debates on this issue must start acting responsibly and more boldly in dealing with such issues ourselves.A handful of politicians and police cannot solve this for us.Twitter and facebook as a medium if used effectively without igniting emotions can deliver.More over reach out on the ground and introspect what is it that we need to do to act, behave and present ourselves in public.Each one of us is responsible, male and female with equal responsibility to curb these crimes and step back a little and make changes to reduce the crimes.If the female populations starts saying " kapde nahin, sooch badlo"easier said than done!!!!The mind is a devil and it plays based on triggers.The triggers are all over the place and no single source can curb that.So please act and think practical.Don't fan sentiments.Don't overreact and keep pushing.Only educating and defending our human rights and liberties wherever they are being abused or violated is a way to drive sense in this warped population.Some are smooth operators and some hardcore criminal mindsets ,probably hailing from communities and towns where they are bought up like this.With such a diverse culture, traditions, beliefs,conservative thinking and sex bottled up in their minds for years, when unleashed at the first opportunity, what can one expect?Will sex education help??Million dollar question?If so, who will do it?where? start from when and how?Lots to do......................................

What is not being said openly is the role of women in rape. At least in some cases women are using this as a tool to avenge and settle personal scores or for blackmail. Women have to be safe but if they can't take sufficient care of their own safety no government can give them protection all the time. In an age where,at least in cities, you see a lot of women drinking and smoking openly they are likely to be giving an impression of being liberated and available for a step further. We cannot treat or teach or preach only the men. There is an equal necessity to question and examine the changed female attitudes and behavior during the last 20-25 years too.
ReplyDeleteHindi movies have corrupted the mindsets of the adolescents and youngsters beyond repair. Eve teasing and subsequent physical relationship which is dubbed wrongly as love are a direct outcome of what is dished out to them in n number of so called romantic Hindi films. What is happening on streets is a large scale demonstration of the lessons wrongly learned.
Coupled with this is the influence of western values of "me and mine only" loaded with extreme selfish and possessive thoughts and feelings and the ways of outburst of their expression.
We have desensitized an entire generation to violence and sex. We are seeing the fruits of this today.

ReplyDeleteRape is a heinous crime leaving long-lasting physical, mental, social scars on an individual. That this crime has to be dealt with severely is obvious.
ReplyDeleteThat said, severe punishment can't be good enough deterrent for prevention of rape. It may not be politically correct to say this but women do need to understand that the more you display, the more vulnerable you are. It's plain common-sense. Would you put all your money on display in your living-room showcase so that everyone can admire your wealth?
Other obvious sources of trouble are films and TV serials which now openly show vulgar dancing, smooching, drug-abuse and one-night stands - all under the guise of creative liberty for "liberated new generation". All this content is vitriolic enough to corrupt a stable mind, let alone the fickle mindset associated with adolescence. What would you expect? Again, common-sense!
