JuStice: Power, Politics, Punishment and Crime


Nine months, really a very short period. At least for the Indian law system.
In the second week of September, Indian law helped the victim’s soul to rest in peace.
The news of Delhi gang rape on 16th December’12 night had shook whole India. Even the news highlighted across the international border, raising the question of safety of girls in India and law system supporting the females.
One of the shameful moments as being an Indian.

I was never afraid of roaming alone outside the country but being an Indian- Indian girl, I have to think ten times before even stepping out of the house, going out of city alone in my own country. Forget about being alone, all these are bullshit excuses. No matter a girl is alone or with her mom-dad, her brother, her friend, her husband or anyone else. She is not safe to roam around without a fear.

The Indian law has accepted those four people had made the crime and sentenced to hang until dead. However, along with this some other questions popping up in my mind.

·        We agree that whatever they had done was horrible and cannot be forgiven at all. Even if they have a family, a wife, children, mother crying to save them. How can we forget that the girl was also a daughter, a sister, a friend, a niece and a human being with whom they had behaved worst than an animal behaves.

It was not a mistake. They knew very well what they were doing, and so they very much deserve the death punishment.
It should be an example for others so that they should think hundred times before even trying to commit such crime.

·        The second question is,
If instead of these people there would have been people from high-class family, even then our law would have took decision so fast?

Of course not. In that situation this case would have been in trial for more than 9 years instead of months and that too without any result.

Should we believe only poor people commit crime deserve punishment, not the one who have power- the power of money and politics......?????
