“Rape", the worst word of the dictionary, becomes very much associate with the so-called civilized society of our country and no more shocks us like then. Though the victim's family has to go through the poignancy for several years and most of us habitually limit our acknowledgement by passing some texts and pictures mechanically like an android. And other opportunistic sections of society tend to be calculative with the case on the basis of political merits. If they get any political flavour then they wait no moment to propagate the incident with rainbow colours. Otherwise they love to be under the cloth. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) India has been failed to protect her almost 20000 daughters annually (average data) from their rapists. But how many times movements like the case of Jammu or Nirvaya case of Delhi we did see? Unfortunately we get hardly any satisfactory answer.
How do we classify the rapists? Is the rapist of Jammu is more blameworthy others? Are the victims of other rape cases not deserved equally treatments from the so-called civilized people who raised their voices for Jammu or Nirvaya cases? It is disheartening that they never get and it is not justified at all. People are becoming restless, opportunistic and materialistic day by day. Education has failed to discipline us; spirituality has failed to light up our conscience. And when education and spirituality are valued no more; savageness, lust and others cannibalistic vices displaces our ethics consequently. We have lost our fair minded, we have lost our unprejudiced opinion, we have lost our unbiased visionary abilities and we have lost our humanity overall. And ultimately we are heading towards the very fierce world where everything would be scattered around and we would be failed to recover our fellow feelings.
We the people of so-called society who love to propagate the temporary movements on the basis of political merits are doing no lesser shameful job like the plunder. All the rapists are the beast and no words, no movement and no punishment are enough to condemn their evil spirits. We should not only be indiscriminatory and unbiased but should also view each case comprehensively. People of other countries consider India as the rape capital of the World. We are already late and should not be too late to wait for the ultimate destruction of our social system. We should assemble under the same umbrella forgetting colour, creed, race and religion to eradicate the evils from the society and obliterate the beasts before its ruin us. I am confident that, in the end, good sense and justice will prevail.
