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!

A forgotten tale of Deeg

Deeg Palace.. a forgotten tale of an Indian king. We often forget that the name of the commonly known 'Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary' is 'Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary', which comes from the Keoladeo temple (Lord Shiva) next to the watch-tower in the middle of the sanctuary. Such is the story of Deeg! How to reach Deeg Deeg is153 kms from New Delhi & 98 kms from Agra) falls within the territorial limits of the holy Braj-Bhumi. Known as ancient Dirghapura in district Bharatpur of Rajasthan, Deeg became a stronghold of the Jat rulers during 18th -19th cent AD. Deeg is deeply connected with the rise of the Jat peasants under the leadership of Rajaram (AD 1686-88), Bhajja Singh (AD 1688-98) and Chudaman (AD 1695-1721). After the death of Chudaman, Badan Singh (AD 1722-56) consolidated his authority over several districts.  Badan Singh (1722 – 56 AD) after assuming the throne consolidated the headman ship of the tribe and was the founder of the Jat hous...

Lathmaar Holi in Barsana and Nandgaon

Image
A completely different kind of Holi (The Festival Of colours) is played within 100 kilometers from the heart of Delhi In next few weeks there is another Holi coming up, the color of festival. A festival of joy and love. Holi in Braj region is played for more than a week in innumerable temples of Radha-Krishna with limitless enthusiasm and devotion by thousands of people. I had been to Brindavan earlier, but not during ‘Holi’. So the experience of ‘Holi’ in Barsana and Nandgaon was simply out of the World. I drove down from Delhi. The journey started at 3AM in the morning to reach Barsana by 5AM in the morning. It was a smooth and nice drive. Reached Barsana just before the Sun shown it’s first ray. While enjoying a tea and a smoke, I started getting ready with my camera and few other things in a backpack to start the day sitting in a local tea shop.  A family tea shop. One of my most liked shoot.  While walking through the village upto the 'Ra...
