Here are a few point to ponder for all those bleeding hearts who have been crying themselves hoarse about the blood thirsty attitude of the common Indian who has been demanding an amendment in the laws governing crimes committed by juveniles and the crying need for making an example out of the sixth and most brutal rapist who has been termed a minor by the juvenile justice board.........
* Firstly, any and every system of dispensing law has three sides or dimensions to it: the retributive, the reformative and the deterrent; and all three dimensions or sides need to work with each other in complete harmony, now you as is your wont conveniently seem to be missing the wood for the trees and only looking at the reformative aspect of the law while completely bypassing the other two, please tell me how is this lopsided view of an extremely volatile situation going to help the situation and assuage tempers and passions that are already at a fever pitch......
* Secondly, the premise on which this most brutal rapist and assaulter has been branded a juvenile is tenuous at best, the principal of the school in Budaun where this serial offender was a student till class six is on record saying that he simply went by the date tendered by the alleged juvenile's father and duly recorded the same on his school certificate in the absence of either a birth certificate or any other supporting document.........
* Thirdly, this so called juvenile is not committing an offence or crime for the first time, various petty crimes ranging from theft to small robberies have been registered against him on more than one occasion, he is alleged to have not only committed a robbery but also assaulted the hapless man who was robbed just before he and his accomplices committed the heinous crime that shook the very conscience of this great nation, and you still continue with the same plaintive cry of giving him a chance to reform and restore himself even when crime has become his chosen avocation and way of life.........
* Fourthly, this person (if one can call him that) left his village home at the tender age of eleven on his own accord and has never looked back ever since, in fact, his family members came to know of his whereabouts when they saw his visage splashed across the front pages of various newspapers and television screens, his father is mentally unsound and his mother has to not only fend for herself and her husband but is also saddled with the arduous responsibility of providing for his five siblings; the mother is on record saying that she does not want her prodigal son back as his return would only make their already meagre existence that much more tenable with the threat of social ostracisation and banishment from the village looming large over the horizon.......
* Fifthly, you seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill as is your wont, the so called mob that is seemingly baying for his blood does not want toe either publicly execute or lynch him, the point that these well meaning people are making is that this rapist should not be allowed to get away lightly considering the severity and dastardliness of the crime, he should be made to pay in full for the atrocities committed by him so that his plight could act as a deterrent for somebody with the same intent.........
* Sixthly, will Messrs Ananth Narayan, Malavika Rajkotia, Nina Nayak and a host of others who have been crying wolf at the merest hint of amending this contentious law as it stands give a written guarantee to the concerned court about his subsequent behaviour once he is unleashed on the Indian populace come early June, let them give a written undertaking to both the concerned court as well as Indian nation as a whole about the conduct and behaviour about this particular individual and also establish the fact that they will be responsible for his behaviour for the next decade and more......
* Seventhly, the UN charter that is being touted or quoted ad nauseum by these self styled champions of juvenile rights never mentions the age of majority to be eighteen, the Beijing charter and other such documents on which this now contentious convention is based is conspicuously silent on the age of majority as conclusively proved by lawyers of the eminence of Subramaniam Swamy and Aryaman Sundaram.......
* Eightly, one fails to understand the very premise of the arguments being put forth by these bleeding hearts who are all extremely worried about the rights of a violent criminal and rapist who is yet to show the faintest semblance of remorse, whatever happened to the rights of the victim who met her waterloo at the hands of this motley crew of monsters masquerading as human beings.........
* Ninthly, the testimonies/dying declaration of the victim, her male friend or companion and five co-accused have more than conclusively established the fact that this supposed juvenile was the most brutal and barbaric of the lot, he was neither inebriated nor under the influence of any drug or any other psychotropic substance, yet you want to let him get away scot free despite the dastardliness and brutality of the crimes perpetrated on him on the twenty three year old brave heart; I for one fail to understand this convoluted logic.......
* Tenthly, the capital's Tihar Jail has been widely recognised as a centre of excellence as regards it's reformative facilities and the efficacy of the same, so then why don't we send this rapist there for a period of ten years at the very least and duly accord him the opportunity of atoning and paying the price for the barbaric crime that he committed against humanity as a whole........
* Eleventhly, the Indian Penal Code as we have come to know it decries that anybody and everybody over and above the age of twelve years of age can be tried as an adult if the concerned court finds him inherently capable of possessing the mental and emotional capacity of understanding the enormity and consequences of the crime/s committed by the person in question, so why should an exception be made in the case of this monster who is physically, intellectually and emotionally mature enough to carry out this dastardly crime, yet is being allowed to get away scot free on a mere technicality concerning his age at the time of having committed the crime; wither justice and humanity as a whole......
While, I for one am staunchly opposed to the death penalty as a matter of principle and firmly believe that the same should only be accorded to those beyond redemption, I am equally alarmed by the rising figures of crimes being committed by juveniles and the fact that fifteen year old's have begun raping and disposing of their victims with increasing impunity and scant regard for the law; the message needs to go out loud and clear that the Indian nation as a whole is no longer willing to put up with such dastardly crimes against humanity, so once and for all let's begin the process by making an example out of this monster who has committed grievous crimes against humanity as a whole in general and women in particular, let's incarcerate him in Tihar jail for the next decade at least as that is where he well and truly belongs..........
