16 DECEMBER 2012
A Girl was beaten up and raped in a bus.
To look at it more closely, a 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern was beaten and gang raped in a bus in which she was travelling with her male companion. There were only five others in the bus, including the driver, all of whom raped the woman.
The incident generated widespread national and international coverage and was condemned by various women groups, both in India and abroad. Subsequently, public protests against the Government of India and the Government of Delhi for not providing adequate security for women took place in New Delhi, where thousands of protesters clashed with security forces. Similar protests took place in major cities throughout the country.
The people all over the country sent messages.organised strikes.fought over news channels to ensure that the girl fighting for her life gets justice.Women get justice.
I cant help but think,What if this wouldn't have happened?If this heinous act of lust wouldn't have taken place and that girl,whose name was not released by the media but still had several names such as damini,nibhaya had lived?
Would our government be this alert about our women's security?Would new rectified laws be created like they are being now?
Would people all over the country join as one to fight for justice like they are now?
I don't think so.
The things that are changing around here,however amazing they may be for a start still do not justify damini's death and they never would.
A life was taken away as if it didn't matter and no one who was anyone at that time did anything.
There were 4 other people instead of the driver, wouldn't it have changed if even one of them had thought it all out?If one of them had not given in to the magnifying voice of his lust?
It makes you think.The story would have been so different.
Yes,maybe if that would not have happened,women wouldn't have been safer like they are now and maybe laws wouldn't have been modified but she would have lived.
Why does the government need a death as a wake up call?Why not close calls to these acts are being noticed?
After this case was brought to light,rape cases were started taken seriously,statistics were matched on the number of rapes in state wise and it was a national issue.
What puzzled me though is that all of this existed before this unfortunate massacre too but at that time did it not hold the same importance?If not then why?
Does a death signify what it takes for our people,the Indians to get serious?
Why death and why not terror?Why does it believe in being sorry than safe?
Every life is valuable,so we are taught but here lives are being scattered around just so something gets done and something changes.
Our world is about making changes. I believe in making changes.
But not through loss of lives. That isnt what a change is worth.
Do no harm. Isn't that the rule?
What if the rape would have never happened?
The world would have been different.
Until we know.
