A dark CAPITAL four letter word.

A CAPITAL four letter word has taken a center stage and has made the government authorities and police think and act what they should have done years before. Although this four letter word has always been feared by the women, for just not now, but centuries together, time has come that this fear should be transferred from the women to culprit.

Within 2 days of this heinous crime, we saw series of politician (female member of parliament) carrying placard demanding justice, I have been wondering since, if these politician who represent us in parliament, where the law for  this country is made, are standing on the street and  demanding justice, where is the citizen of this country supposed to go. The Home minister immediately came with his set of, so called  measures to get down the crime, failing to understand the real reason for this crime. The real reason for this crime is only and only, no fear of LAW. The culprit has no fear and is pretty sure he will get away with the adventure. Unfortunately the citizens are also expecting all this to happen overnight, if we look at the records, around 260 MP’s and MLA have cases pending in court against molestation and misbehavior with women, out of which 20 cases are of RAPE. Hence can we expect to get justice from this set of parliamentarians, I think,  that would just be a dream.

These culprits have raised a serious question to all of us and that question is, we will continue to do these kind of acts, how will you protect yourself ? This question is in fact to all the men of this country, how would you protect your mother, sister, wife or daughter ? We had instances that friends, family members who tried to protect the female member have lost their lives and the law is yet to punish them. Had the law been so strict that these culprits would have been booked, charged and handed over severe punishment, the fear of repeating such crime would surely take a turn down rather than going up. There has been a debate about capital punishment for the culprit, but would that be so easy and happily possible, especially in a country like ours where the government is yet to hang someone who attacked the parliament over a decade before, the fear of living alive and living with shame should be there in the mind of someone who is even wanting to attempt such crime, , along with social boycott, chemical castration seems to be only solution at this point.

A police commissioner suggested all the female citizens  to carry chilli powder along with them, to get away, in a situation like this, if this is the message the law caretaker has to give, I would suggest all the female citizens of this country to apply for a gun license and do the justice on the spot, they can easily get away under the umbrella of self protection.

I would sincerely pray such situation may not arise, and hence all the lawmakers of this country sit together and work a solution, where the females in this country are much safer not just against RAPE, but also against eve-teasing and molestation. Why is it every time the citizen has to take on the streets where all the political class appears to be on one side and the citizen on other fighting for their rights in world’s largest democracy.
