Incredible India- Credible?

When the whole world is focussing on their technology to tackle the power crisis and improve the standards of living, India is having a hard time dealing with the numerous Rape cases that are popping up recently, flooding the entire print and visual media.

Meanwhile, Delhi Rape case: Sonia breaks Silence, Offers prayer.

What use are prayers when you cannot assure the victim that her friend or her sister or any other girl  won't undergo the same situation as the victim?

When the entire country is in a mental trauma over what happened in Delhi, here are our politicians trying to politicise the incident in their favour. They are simply playing mind games with the citizens. Sexist and chauvinistic comments are being passed by the politicians that not only hurts the sentiments of the people but also ruins the image of the country. They are trying to shelter themselves behind the comments they pass so that a self-assurance can be made that nothing big happened.

This dented and painted poignant article is just to express my acrimony against the shame that is piling up on the country and  tearing it apart.

Why do these rape cases keep occurring?

It doesn't take a Sherlock to figure this out. The answer is simple and it is right in front of us. Rapes were so common back in the 20th century when the industrial capitalists were busy waging  wars to establish superiority. Women were captured and raped brutally. People craved for food and sex.

In India, lack of punishment is the reason. The punishment should be such that the one that assaults should face pain twice the amount faced by the victim.

What does it take for a man in poverty to feed himself in India?

It's easy. Rape a girl, get arrested, enjoy your meal at the jail, come out in a year or two and repeat the same thing again.

We are suiting ourselves to the western style in terms of clothing, food, lifestyle but when it comes to the punishment for the offenders, we go easy. We have got our own system that actually ensures that people commit crime, a system that is corrupt and tarnished.

Meanwhile, Abhijit Mukherjee: I withdraw my comments. I appalasize(apologise).

So much from the President's son.

Benefits from all these?

First of the beneficiary is the psychopath who actually commits the crime in the long run.

The next on the list is the opposition party.  This is how the politics behind a crime starts. The opposition party prepares a detailed statistics of the crime rate and the success rate of the police in catching the offenders, they use this to edge the ruling party accusing them of erratic ruling.

The last on the list of the beneficiaries is the media. Enough said.

In a country where even the deodorant advertisements are made vulgar, where ministers watch porn in the Assembly, Rape just becomes an another incident which has the spotlight for a month or two after which there are more important issues to be focussed upon like Sachin retiring from the One Day Internationals etc.

Sitting in the living room and writing all this would seem easy than doing something about it. But what can I do for I am just the common man, when the one with the power is unable to talk even three sentences?

Nothing but humiliation taunts me, scares me and is eating me out alive.
