Are you happy now Nirbhaya? Or the tears have been dried up on your cheeks in the wait of justice? Or are you afraid that up above also there may be some lawerys like A.P. Singh who may allow those monsters to reach you again? Are you happy now or still waiting to take rebirth after this nation becomes safe for women also?
Recently, all the culprits of Nirbhaya’s case were hanged till death and everyone was happy that finally, JUSTICE has been served. But is it?
It was seven years ago when she was raped badly and was fighting to survive and now seven years later, her culprits get the punishment. Even she would be thinking that if all the medical reports said that she was badly raped, her intestine was pulled out, a blunt object was penetrated in her genitals and she died due to that, then why did it take so long to serve the justice?
Was it her fault that she was roaming late that night with a boy which gave those rapists a single that they may treat her like she is a playable object? Or was it her dress which provoked them to rape her?
If you are thinking that which option of the above is correct so no, none of them are correct. It’s only the mentality of the people who consider women as an object with who they can play anytime.
Just after the last mercy petition, the lawyer of those culprits challenged Nirbhaya’s mother that he will not let them hung.
These are the words of a protector of law. Laws are made to protect innocent people and not for those whose crime has been proved. A lawyer cannot take support of laws to protect a criminal.
Also, this was only one case but there are many more pending cases of girls who are waiting to get justice.
Many politicians, police officers and people blame a girl that it was her fault but is it really? A 5 year old girl is subjected to man’s risk. She does not even know how to dress and how to ‘provoke’ a boy to rape her. A 3 months old girl was rapes by her uncle in 2018. She might have been crying due to pain and still his uncle continued to take his ‘pleasure’.
So it might be her fault that she took birth, and that too in India.
The problem is not with the girl but it’s the mentality that needs to change and if it is very difficult then some changes in the laws can be made in order to serve justice fastly.
