Jhoomur Bose reacts to that news:
Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.Congratulations People! The way things are going, soon we all will know at least three women who have been raped. I am not counting the 2-month-old babies because they usually die after they have been raped. Like the two-and-a-half-years old INFANT who had her throat slit by her neighbour, of course after he raped her. Wonder what hurt more.
It could be you who’s reading this, your girlfriend, sister, mother, even grandmother (72-year-old women are raped as well). Going by the rising figures, we would have kitty parties for raped women or maybe Raped Ladies’ Nights at pubs. After all, with so many women being raped, sooner or later some marketing company will see the benefit in making money out of it.
Hang the culprit in the city’s main square is the ultimate solution, no need to educate anybody, because many times educated ppl do this crime.
Sameera,
Sorry, but though I sympathise with the anger that prompts the remark, I have to disagree. Making the death penalty legal for rape is almost certain to ensure that no rapist is ever brought to justice. No judge in this country, when asked to hang a man for committing rape, will find him guilty of it, preferring to give him the ‘benefit of the doubt’ instead.
Something More is Required
Rape victims often experience anxiety, guilt, nervousness, phobias, substance abuse, sleep disturbances, depression, alienation, sexual dysfunction, and aggression. They often distrust others and replay the assault in their minds, and they are at increased risk of future victimization.
As observed by Justice Arjit Pasayat: “While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female.” And rightly has said by Kiran Bedi, Retired IPS officer, “The law of rape is not just a few sentences. It is a whole book, which has clearly demarcated chapters and cannot be read selectively. We cannot read the preamble and suddenly reach the last chapter and claim to have understood and applied it.”
Yes, rape indeed is a serious crime and every country is suffering from this blight. But, in fact, it requires a distance to give a thorough look on it to analyze the reasons backing it. To hang rapists under law can just only be one aspect of minimizing its frequency of happening, thinking strict law can raise a fear in the mind of such culprits. But, we cannot assume it an only tool. As the fact is, only sick people do such crime. Sickness is directly related to psychology. The question is what circumstances male’s psychological flow turn him into a criminal? Why a male try to overpower a female sexually ignoring what if someone do the same to his daughter, sister or mother? It shows big flaw in thinking of entire male perspective.
I think its solution can be find in co-education, implementing equality socially, making our male children to learn how to respect women, education for all, providing everybody healthy means of entertainment, organizing continuous seminars from school level to parliament, good social programs carrying healthy ideology on television, controlling vulgarity to avoid its frequent publicly occurrence. Moreover, female also have to have an overview on their viewpoint towards life. They should avoid engaging themselves outside in late hours; and should not wear such clothes offer male to think in a vulgar way. Female will have to delineate their confines to themselves. Difference in sex ratio is also going to be problematic in this regard. In some states it is having terrible gaps like in Punjab and Haryana.
We’ll have to think in this regard to remove this curse from its roots.
Well don Azad Ji ,
Keep it up man
Azad how many goes to the school in India and dont u heard about the date rape where mostly educated ppl involve in the crime.
And as far as dress code is concern, i dont think it will be helpful in any mean.
Hello Sameera,
You are right, Sameera. But my concern was just to throw a light on the areas of improvement after analyzing where exactly the problem is lying. Of course, this grave matter is ancient old and it solution is lying somewhere in education. I totally agree with you that a good proportion of our population does not have access to schools. In fact, this matter cannot be summed up in few lines. But, I am quite sure that education can play a key role in removing this curse. Now, it does not mean that educated males don’t do rape or such crimes. Of course they do, but here, education means not the professional education only but such an education system that makes everyone ethical. It is another area of concern that our education system does not make our children sensitive towards social issues.
Of course, I have heard about the date rape. But what about the cases of Adivasis and Dalits, whom rapist don’t treat even a human being and to rape them as their human right. In date rape case, at least, female can delineate her areas of concern and decide as to what extent she has to go beyond a certain point in order to avoid such circumstances.. Issues in fact are bigger. I am firm on my words that education will prove to be an effective tool in minimizing happening of rape cases.
