Delhi, the capital of India , is supposed to be a safe place for all. But it is not so.It is perhaps the most unsafe place Hardly a day passes without a rape. There are average 6 rapes a day in Delhi.And the victims are from an infant to an 80 years old woman or so. Recently there was a spate of rapes of little girls.One day a 6 years old girl was raped.Next day there were 2 rapes--one of two and a half year girl and the other of 4 or 5 years old girl.There are rapes and gang rapes and the police is just watching mootly.Perhaps everybody's responsibility is nobody's responsibility.From time to time our honourable ministers give their precious views .The other day a minister opined that mobile in the hands of girls is responsible for rapes. One minister blamed the jeans for all this.They give their views off and on sans any logic.How are the kids responsible? Will they please answer?
Why do kids become victims?why are our children not safe? When will all this stop? A group was discussing these things . Every body , without an exception , agreed that these were all sick minds .Rapes were perhaps always there .But now media brings such incidents to the fore. Moreover just as the population has increased, so have the criminals.Moreover now more and more people are coming forward and lodging complaints. That is a good trend.As usual the first blame was for the police departmentAnd is true. Their slow speed of tracking the cases, their tendency of making the cases so weak that they may fail on the first hearing.There is one more trend. They are not ready to write the FIR.After the police come the courts. They take years to decide the cases No doubt, the courts are over-burdened, but there are many judges who just believe in giving dates. (Taareekh pe taareekh).The justice should be quick. Punishment should be exemplary.
Who will set the house in order? When a child or a daughter of a politician or a beurocat is a victim, then they will wake up.When the public decides tobe on the streets over such issues as in Nirbhayas case in Delhi, then the politicians will wake up. Today the girls are the victims, sooner or later, the boys are also going to be the victims.Then perhaps that percentage of the public who have only sons will rise and jump in this struggle against rapists and molesters,
