The 23-year old girl still battles for her life while Police is trying to catch all the perpetrators of committing the heinous crime of raping and assaulting her. India is outrages, facebook, twitter, newspapers, news channel - all are equivocally asking government to bring some justice and I am left wondering - Is this a dark age for us women? How safe are we as a human being? Forget rights to education or right to have a choice of career - do we even have rights to stay safe in our own backyards - a basic right to live with dignity?
Some people are calling those rapists as psychopaths. I ask - where they a psychopaths before or after committing rape? How do we know who is going to be the next attacker? How do we protect ourselves against all such gruesome acts?
Government representatives supposedly visited the girl still hanging between life and death. She would have never even imagined that she would have to go through such horrors to gain government attention. And there are annually 50000 of us, being raped and murdered in many cases. What have we become? A savage society ruled by beasts with no rational thought ? What do these rapist think or rather don't? Why do they do it - Just to teach a girl a lesson? Lesson about what? about being born as a woman? No wonder infanticide and foeticide are on rise in this nation. If I know that my daughter would have to go through such kind of situations in life, I would prefer not giving birth to her than letting her live a life of such atrocities. And am not being Anti-woman here.. I simply do not wish my daughter to face the trauma or tragedy of being born in today's world where she might get raped, molested, assaulted, discriminated against and finally murdered. What for?
Shock is giving way to Anger and desperation that we women feel... a question lurking within us - what if we are the next victim. No man can ever feel this - the perpetual fear of being the next victim of darkness within men. No man can feel the necessity to be on our guard 24x7. It's too much for us to handle.
