Media, democracy and .. Nirbhaya!

Is some light still there?

It is shocking to hear and see, that a rapist of Delhi brutal gang rape victim 'Nirbhaya' not only is saying his views on rape but also the recommending probable remedy to any other rape victims; what should and should not be done at the time of or after a rape is conducted. It’s difficult to reconcile how can the journalist with a team,(who apparently is also a rape victim, as she says) go inside a jail with recording equipment to record the views of a rapists for her documentary!

To me, what is more alarming and disturbing are the bold statements of two lawyers of the rapists on national televisions; one says almost the same version of the rapist said (what is still available on the internet) what a woman must or must not do for NOT being raped. Another goes a step ahead saying 'he would burn alive any woman of his family if found alone or any other man in the evening! Most surprisingly, they are proud to advocate their views and WE see them saying! Media is fine to broadcast and we provide TRP helplessly! Do you still blame Taliban, ‘Malala’? Please don’t, they are in all the corners and it's we who make them.

Is this the shadow of World’s largest democracy where brutal murderers, rapists and their protectors dare to speak out and justify the point on rape in front of  media? Which in form of a documentary would make an entertainment for the World on women's day round the corner, March08, 2015! It indeed is amazing form of democracy I must say.

December16, 2012 when this incident happened in the heart of Delhi and the girl dies after 2 weeks of suffering till date, March04, 2015; is this not enough time to execute the death sentence on these criminals and send a strong message to those who got caught for the same crime and are still in the jail and to those who are not caught yet, that they are not far away from the justice and penalty? Does it not a question raises against the judiciary system as a whole once again? Why can't our law take actions against these lawyers for the rapists, who almost are nakedly advocating the rapists and encouraging others who even are thinking maybe of another such a brutal crime? How many more decades will we remain so tight-lipped!

If stopping the broadcast of the documentary on ‘Nirbhaya’ is one part, the other side of the coin is certainly execution of the death sentence for the culprits. And whatever you say, there is a time for everything; it’s not revenge, which is delicious, if served cold. It’s death penalty of an unthinkable crime damn-it! So make it happen, make it happen real soon.

It's enough in the name of democracy and so called blame game in the name of politics! It's high time, please speak out. Make your voice heard loud and clear by the politicians and lawmakers! Let's demand for review of Indian law in all sections, change them as per modern time. Let justice be quicker and faster so that one thinking of making crime is scared, whatever that maybe! Let criminals in all format not slip from the hands of law!
