FIRE WITHIN

Juvenile cases in gang rape.The Indian mentality is so warped that we are getting worse by the day.We talk about changing the law and treating the rape cases on a fast track and deliver the punishment , so that it would be a deterrent to one and all and create a fear about engaging in such a heinous activity. But where does all this emerge from?What is the root cause?

Look at the circumstances under which we live here in India.The basic education to millions of kids is no where in sight.Upbringing and culture is so varied and diverse that it swings from conservative to ultra modern within 300km radius.The warped mindset starts there.To add to that certain religion and its hardliners add fuel to fire.The male folks, have every avenue to do what ever they want and with whom ever behind a veil.They can marry a few dozen times or have extra marital affairs, but when they find caste based romance or love they become Taliban's and create terror by honour killings and brutal results follow.The word SEX is a taboo.Talking to a girl may be a big no-no in some cases, and in some cases living in is also accepted.It depends on which layer of society you are basking in.North of India the night life reeks of all you can possibly think of and so is Mumbai and many other metros in varying proportions.In other cities , smaller or classified as B and C grade cities, these things happen on the sly.The television and its bad effects are seen here too.Sex comedy in movies and exposure to the Internet all adds up to the bottled up testosterone waiting to spurt out at the sight of the first victim.The topics seen and discussed and debated on the news is only murder, gang rapes and how cruel it has been.The so called crime scene episodes  further glorify it and make the poor victim and her kin embarrassed to no extent.Why can't we be more sensitive? Why do we not take collective responsibility to clean up this mess and better the mindset?Why start the stupid blame game that leads to nothing but delays and procrastinations at large.

The uneducated, jobless and the urchins who have plenty of time on hand and are exposed to all this filth are scavenging and look at the first victim their hands can fall on.Romantic couples(Youngsters) too, to escape from the clutter of urban life try to search for the silent, secret locations on the outskirts where they think they can get some peace and end up being raped and tortured.Why go to deserted mill compounds without proper escort?Knowing fully well what can happen if you don't take care, one must be equally responsible for ones self and ensure we take a calculated gamble in the worst case.The destiny decides our fate .But we could take extra care and efforts to ensure we do not let the innocent get harmed.Society and film fraternity should stop selling TRP's and counting crores on lousy films which are provocative and encourage this filth.They need to more accountable .What can the police also do?They are a pathetic sight when they have to own up every nonsense done by our politicos, swamis, murders, scams,kidnapping and rapes.Check his own house.He himself cannot fend for himself and his family what could he do for society at large?Why stretch him thin and use him like a rubber band that will crack .
