Everybody's life seems to have become pretty much normal na?!Except a few friend's of hers,her shocked family,the troubled,suspended policemen for not performing their 'duties' well,the family of the accused,a few publicity-demanding-politicians ?
Just a little change for common man: Daughters of India praying to return back 'SAFE','UNMOLESTED','UNTEASED' from their offices,schools,colleges or "Kindergartens"?
TOI-30th December,2012
Much, more than I ever thought,has been said and written about this issue.Wonder what I was doing till these horrific 26 days?'SHOCK' held me tight,for maybe,this was the first time I heard something so ghastly as this one..I dont know,what relation I had with this brave girl,nobody knows ,yet the country united in grief and anger,surviving the cold water canons in the chilly month of December,the tear-gas & the human-less lathis!
Each time her news is being shown or printed,it drags me closer to the cheap mentality of some men.Today's edition of TOI reads "Nirbhaya's mother speaks up!"..Imagining the plight of the woman who gave birth to such a brave girl leaves me in tears .What her fault was?That her daughter was a bright student,that she got an opportunity in the Indian capital to complete her internships?That she loved wearing western clothes?That she went for a movie with a male friend ?Or that she boarded that White bus?
Today,marks the end of her last rites..The villagers say,its time to officially forget her.Forget her?Forget the ambitious girl who wanted to support her family financially,whose dreams of being a medical student were shattered just because of those f**king six men ?Forget the girl who was the another victim of irresponsible government?
In these situations of distress,what does the so-much-adored by the 'superstitious'-Indians priest-'Asaram' has to say?
She should have pleaded those guys to leave her,fallen to their feet,addressed them as 'Bhaiya'! Shit!Seems he is yet to know the real meaning of Bhaiya!Making those 'rapists' your bhaiya's is the cheapest statement I could have ever come across.It seems that everybody just wanted to be a media's attention seeker in this big-youth-issue,then be it by making 'dented-and-painted' comments or something as narrow-minded as the above one.
My heart goes out for her family who, today, received her bag of clothes.How her brothers now have just a lock of her hair as her remembrance and what her parents might be going through right now!Those parents who taught her to walk,eat and live a life of her own terms.Those brothers for whom Raksha Bandhan would forever freshen up this ghastly reality of their life..Never before,had I cried,on anybody's death,as her's!Never before was I so soul-drenched as now!Never before I have prayed so much as I now...
Let those accused experience a HELL here on this Earth so that no man ever dares of doing this again!Let the brave-heart's soul rest in peace.
Let the Country awake!
