She was a daughter. She was a sister. She was 23. She was a medical student. She had her whole life ahead of her. But, now she is no more. Her only crime? Being a woman. That is her only crime and for that she was raped and brutalized beyond reason. She fought, battled for her life for 15 days until she breathed her last on 29th December 2012.
For many of us, this is just a news; it will be forgotten in two weeks time until another similar horror story that sends shivers up our spines crop up and we will forget about it in due time as well. We have a convenient short memory.
This brave girl's struggle and eventual death should not be given into oblivion. Justice must be delivered to the demonic beings who perpetrated this crime. To hell with human rights when it comes to persecute these criminals. A punishment so severe that would cut another loose erection must be meted on those diabolic satans.
Well, one of the rapists committed suicide in jail, the minor-at-the-time-he-perpetrated-the-crime was sentenced to 3 years probation in a juvenile home while the rest were given death sentences.
Let this be the last of such heart wrenching incident everywhere in the world. I am sure that it would have been the last wish of the brave, brave girl. Let us make her wish come true.
Less than a year of her death, has change for the better happened?
I am afraid not.
I was cruising on Facebook the other day when a chatter popped up and showed me a link which directed me to a photo of 2 full sized women in their late 30s or early 40s, clad in low back cut saree jackets. They were bending down, their respective meaty tush, in full display. I took a glance at it and didn't note a fellow standing next to the amply endowed ladies until the chatter pinpointed him to me, telling me to see his reaction.
The fellow was grabbing his crotch; he was erecting and was on the verge of masturbating. I was condemning the vulgar gesture, that too at ladies who are old enough to be his mother. The chatter professed, "See, this is what happens when you dress like that." I was completely seething at his rationale and hissed at him like a banshee in angst.
What a depraved mentality! Okay, so does covering up from head to toe and wearing a burqa stop guys (I don't mean all guys, just some jerks who drool at the sight of a woman's toe) from looking at girls with ill intentions and curb sexual harassment?
It is a fact that girls maintain their figure and dress up fashionably to be noticed but that doesn't mean that they can be subjected to unwanted attention referring to verbal and physical sexual harassment.
What if your sister or daughter wear skimpy, racy clothes? Will you rape them and later justify that their dressing turned you on when the perversion is in your mind.
The core of the problem lies in the orthodox Indian patriarchy system where women are forced into submission; rebellion, entirely forbidden and if a woman dares to speak her mind, she will be brutally silenced with rape or other means like battering, splashing acid on face among others being tools to achieve complete subjection. Should the woman being raped try to fight the rapist off, she will be bloodied in order to teach a lesson on male supremacy and to put her in 'her place'.
Mothers tell their daughters to dress modestly, don't stay out at late nights and be careful at all times. They don't tell their sons to treat women as equals and should be respected as equal units of the society and that that no woman deserves to be raped no matter how immodestly she dresses, whether she is out at night and is alone are not an invitation to rape. That is why our society is as it is. Respect and recognition for women starts at home.
The rise of extreme porn is also contributing to the sadistic way a woman's chastity gets outraged. In extreme porn, lubricants are used in order to facilitate penetration.These satans in human form rip virgin girls' hymen apart by ramming foreign objects into their underside which inflicts excruciating pain.
This is plainly sick. Even animals don't do this. A new word needs to be coined to describe these creatures who are definitely not human in any definition.
How about ramming a bottle up their anus and tell them to run and whip them if they stop running.
Seems legit, doesn't it. I mean, why not?
But this is not a cure; it is only an atonement.
This mentality that women are inferior and should always be under a man's whim and fancy needs to be nipped in the bud. Teach boys from a young age to respect their complementing half and that they are equal. Treat boys and girls equally.
In my family, there is a relative that practice extreme patriarchy. They have an only daughter and 3 sons. The daughter is made to clean up after all three of her male siblings' mess and do household chores while her male siblings play. The boys don't wash their plates after eating; their sister washes their dirty plates. Her Dad blamed her for his recent misfortune. This is happening now, in this age. And. this is what encourages male chauvinism and utter disdain for females.
This is one case that I have seen. Goodness knows how many analogous cases are out there and how many sadistic rapists and perverts are forming or roaming at large who see women only as sexual objects.
Disable the core causal factor of rape and sexual harassment. Heavy penalties seem ineffective in curbing rape. Prevention is better than cure. Male mentality needs to be changed in the primordial stage, at inception. Maybe then sex crimes would grind to a halt.
I hope Nirbhaya gets her wish. Better late than never.
