Nirbhaya, Asifa, Unnao, Who next?

RAPE!! Hasn’t it become a synonym of sex nowadays? I guess, Yes. Previously when we used to hear or utter this word, our entire body used to get shaken. But it has become a common word to hear from numerous people. The horrific rapes in India are now so common that every other day there is a Nirbhaya case. To me, in any case, no rape is less gruesome than another.

The entire nation wakes up with news that a young girl has been kidnapped and then brutally assaulted by older men. What? She’s just an eight year girl. Be shameful on what you did.

In most cases of rape in India, especially the recent cases that have shocked the nation once again, rape is not an act of lust but used as a tool to show power or take revenge, in these cases it is so difficult and almost unfair to not talk about politics.

Our main problem is that we remain silent in real life, but show our feminism on social media which is completely inappropriate way to condemn to the attackers. So kindly keep your social media feminism in your pocket and try to give her respect in her real life.

But when the matter comes to politicians or celebrities who are attackers or involved with these activities, then justice becomes blind and the whole country come together to stand by with them in real life.  We really don’t care your political compulsion, the ideology of your party, your attachment to a religion. If you don’t crack down hard and do justice to our child, you don’t deserve to be an Indian leader.

We have cases after cases, headlines after headlines but where’s the justice? What do we have to show for, where have we punished the rapists? Where are all those politicians and their connections who raped – why aren’t they rotting in jail?

In India, you are inviting yourself to be raped when you choose to wear skirts, jeans or eat biriyani. Here, you are raped for going to bars to drink and have a good time there. You will be raped because a politician or celebrity or his son has set his eyes on you and wants you to satisfy his hunger. And you can also be raped and murdered for falling in love outside your community. In India, you can be raped because you have happened to be an innocent child.

It’s really ok to make law and orders and policies just for sake. But where the hell are those policies, law and orders? Where’s the justice now? We all have been talking about real women safety and Beti Bachao. But where have all these propagandas gone?

Rape is not a problem in India. It’s an epidemic. It’s not being propagated by those who are part of this cruel act but also by those who remain to choose silent and not to speak on it. It’s just not a crime, but has become a cruel culture.
