The pan India rape epidemic continues unabated no place however obscure, remote or far removed from the media limelight is immune to this epidemic; Silchar, Dibrugarh, Guwahati, Shillong, Meghalaya, Mysore, Travancore and so on and so forth, rapists are on the prowl everywhere Indian women beware......
What is more galling is the fact that the powers that be namely the union home minister as well as the capital's commissioner of police are more concerned with justifying and vindicating their apathy, disinterestedness or lack of sympathy and abject apathy towards the victims.......
The police commissioner has the gall to ask the media why he should resign when the actions of his subordinates have shown the Delhi police in extremely poor light; Mr. Police Commissioner you should simply see the writing on the wall and carve out a honourable and dignified exit for yourself as your subordinates take their lead from you and their behaviour is only bound to be a mirror image or reflection of your shameful and galling behaviour towards Delhi's female denizens......
Our home minister has this uncanny ability to end up putting the rest of his body in his mouth every time he condescends to open it; as if the act of naming Nirbhaya on the floor of the Rajya Sabha and a subsequent press briefing was not enough, the home minister this time around said that "rape was a pan Indian phenomenon, so why is Delhi being singled out for special attention"......
Delhi is being singled out for special attention as Delhi has acquired the dubious distinction of being the "rape capital" of the world Mr. Home Minister, law and order in the capital falls within your domain, the lieutenant governor of the national capital directly reports to you and is wholly and solely answerable to you and therefore the failure of a police force under your control to make the female residents of the capital feel everything bur safe and secure is a telling testimony of you inefficiency, incompetence, blundering and passing the buck every time you are confronted with a far from bracing situation......
Perform or perish is an age old dictum, but the same seems to be conspicuous by it's absence in our country; chief minister after chief minister, home minister after home minister, the prime minister, de facto ruler of the country (Sonia Gandhi), leaders of opposition in both houses of parliament, police chiefs and others of their ilk shed crocodile tears, mouth platitudes, make tall and hollow promises about redeeming the situation and then conveniently move on........
Why don't you people simply put your money where your mouth is and resign because you are incompetent and incapable of handling this rather alarming state of affairs in the country pertaining to the constantly escalating number of rapes and other sexual atrocities being committed against women is concerned; we have had our fill of platitudes, hollow and false ringing expressions of sorrow, remorse and regret, please get real, start performing and initiating measures to arrest this heinous trend......
A mandatory death sentence being touted for all child rapists by the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha and other strident voices could be a suitable deterrent provided the case is investigated, judged and taken to it's logical conclusion within a maximum of 90 days from the date on which the rape or sexual crime against the female victim was perpetrated...........
Other measures like chemical or permanent castration of first time and repeat offenders, naming and shaming of rapists and setting up of a national gallery of shame exclusively comprising of the mug shots of every arrested rapist and airing the same on every television channel and in every national daily are other measures that can be actively considered and adopted.......
The collective patience of the nation has all but run out and the collective anger of the populace has reached it's zenith, act in the best interests of the nation and it's women before it's too late, act before the protesting mobs turn into lynch mobs and you have complete mayhem and carnage on the streets of the nation..........
