Respect Women - Respect Your Existence

Two Rape incidents reported in 10 days that too in Delhi, the Capital City of India. The first Rape Victim lost her life after battling against all odds for 13 days.  But, do we consider the death only when the Biological Process ends?  What about the mental trauma and loss of social status for the Rape Victims?  Today Media is airing the news of the Death and tomorrow they would be flocking to cover Girl's funeral, interviewing her family and friends.  But wouldn't that be a bigger Rape? Rape of Privacy of the Family? Rape of their family honor and respect. Not only media, but the political parties would also start on their political agenda and use the death of the girl as a weapon to hit back on the State as well as Central Government.  Everyone around would talk about the death and one fine day forget the case at all or else it would just become a reference in the medical studies or in legal corridors.  Long discussions will be held and a lot will be said.  But, would that all bring justice to the Girl and her death? Never to forget, justice to her family.

Looking at the circumstances, I am sure that the justice would never be dealt to the Victim nor to her family. Not to forget here the case 2 as reported of the 42 year old Woman from Jaipur.  Either case the victims would not get the right justice as in my opinion, there could never be a sentence that would bring back the honor of a Rape Victim or her family. The only way we can ensure justice to the Victims till date is by ensuring that the acts like Rape are totally eradicated from our country. I know that is a far reaching thought, but unless we think on that front and work to that effect to sensitize the society, we would just be reading and talking "Gyan".  

I would request all the readers to join the cause to make this society a secure society for the girls and the women.  Respect them as they are the base of our existence and if they are not secure, our future would automatically be insecure.  We all need to join hands to ensure that they are respected with a special request to media to not rush around to earn TRPs by airing the interviews or coverage of funeral. Let Victim's soul rest in peace and let the family and friend mourn in peace than hurting their privacy....else we would all be the culprits of Raping off the Privacy of the Family and Friends and of the Poor Soul of Victim.....

Also, there would be different talks about say hanging the culprits or castrate them or cut off their organs etc etc, but do we think that would help lessen the acts of Rape?  Not in my opinion, because today the government might take that route, tomorrow the people themselves would take the law in their hand.  Recall the movie "Gangajal" in which the cops first use acid and then blind off the culprits and the mob follows the suit.  So do we want to turn our society back to a barbaric society? I guess not, Rape itself sets off a barbaric act, but it needs to be ensured that the Culprits are not put through barbaric acts.  Hang them if the law decides to. However, for my opinion, we need a law to ensure that the Culprits in such cases are sentenced to Life Imprisonment.  Something like "Kala Pani". They should be cut off from the society and made to live behind the prison through their life.  Remorse would surely settle with time, but they need to be released only after their soul leaves their body.

I respect NDTVs stand to not cover her funeral or air any interview or something. Quoting Barkha Butt ‏@BDUTT we will not be covering the young girls funeral or interviewing relatives or descending on her hometown. Death must be marked in other ways

Hope other Media Houses also act sensibly 

To Rehman Mallik - From An Indian

The following letter and thoughts are induced by an article - 5 Answers to the Pakistani Minister on Indiatimes.

I wrote this open letter to the Respected Pakistani Minister as after thoughts of Average Patriotic Indian.....So if you think that this letter sounds the way you would think, please leave your comments.....

____________________________________________________________________

Dear Mr. Rehman Mallik,

Once again you proved that the Indian Government made a mistake of Inviting you over to this country and made a mockery of itself with your comments that would go down the history as typical "Defensive" statements that clearly prove the Alarming state of Diplomatic affairs.  The comments also clearly mark the stand from Pakistan that they are not so serious about getting the right balance between the two neighbors and they are happily playing in the hands of the "Religious" hatred and fanaticism.

I happened to read your five comments starting from the death of Capt Saurabh Kalia to the one involving Hafeez Saeed.  I guess the world knows where your comments are coming from and you would need to ensure to stay put by not making any clarification to those comments that are totally apolitical and well reflecting the idiosyncratic thoughts.

Let me take you through your comments and the facts that you should have looked at before you made those statements - 

1. "When Fight is going on the border, we really don't know whether he was killed with a Pakistani bullet or he died because of Bad Weather"

·  You made the above comment with respect to our Brave Soldier Capt Saurabh Kalia.  incidentally you seemed to have been lacking the knowledge about the torture that Capt Kalia went through with marks of burns from Cigarettes, puncturing of eardrums with hot rods and chopping of limbs and other body parts.  I am not sure which sort of bad weather can create burns, chop off body parts and puncture the eardrums?  Do do you mean to say the Pakistan's forces are equipped with bullets and sharpshooters who can result in such cases.  Get Real Mr. Mallik!!!

2. “Courts have given bail to Hafiz Saeed and said not to arrest him because there is not sufficient evidence against him. India has given information and not evidence against Hafiz Saeed.”

·  Interesting point that the world has accepted the “Evidences” of Hafiz being involved in the 26/11 as the Mastermind.  He was named by Ajmal in his statement during the interrogation.  What more evidence is required?  Besides this Indian Authorities have also shared the required evidences against Hafiz and those certainly prove him as the Mastermind of the 26/11. Where did those evidences disappear? Or were they never presented to the Respected Court?  If the Guys like Hafiz can freely roam around in Pakistan, then you should seriously look at the way the Information & Evidences are dealt with for such Criminals.

3. “So it is not a state sponsored Drama, state sponsored action. It is action by non-state actors. If you put things together, there are three guys, one coming from US, and he has the money, he has got credit cards, he has moved all over, he had created franchise, he had created social circle. All these should have come to attention of some agencies. Now the agencies failed. Both here and Pakistan. So, we have failed. Why? Because there was no interaction between Pakistan and India.”

·        The Failure surely is there, but please Acknowledge that it is the failure of governance in your country where the terrorists get trained, from where they get the requisite logistic support, arms and ammunitions, where they can roam around freely for they would be waging a war against your most hated neighbor “India”.  Get Real Mr. Mallik, without state sponsored activities, fully loaded terrorists from your country can’t sneak into our country and unleash the traumatic terror and barbaric activities. Incidentally, you are missing the point that without state sponsorship, they would not have been able to lay down this big a network to have meticulously planned each and every move that they did.

4.  “Jundal also worked as one of the sources of a very elite agency of India. Now see, he has used agencies also and went rogue. Put it another way, you become a source, you become a double agent. While he is working living in India, he might have gone rogue and then these three individuals go to Pakistan”.

·   What are you aiming to say Mr. Mallik?  The official documents from Judal clearly provide the association he has with Pakistan and the agencies there.  He holds a Pakistani Passport and he holds a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistani (Name mentioned – Riyasat Ali, Document No 354050-397094-7).  The later document doesn’t require him to have Visa to enter Pakistan and his location of stay is identified close enough to Muridka (the place that reportedly hosts LeT headquarters too). What is it that you achieved by making a statement hinting at Jundal working for elite Indian Agency, when he holds two of his documents that clearly suggest his position vis-à-vis Pakistan!!

5. We do not want any 9/11. We do not want any Bombay blasts, we do not want any Samjhauta Express, we do not want any Babri Mosque issue and we can work together not only for peace in Pakistan and India, but also for the region.”

·   Mr. Mallik starting from 9/11 till Samjhauta Express are understood as the heinous crime of terrorism.  But did you forget that there is this 26/11 and then the Attack on Indian Parliament also that we do not want?  Even they were the acts of terrorism.  Also, we the Indians do not want any of your country’s interest and interference in Kashmir.  Why don’t you pull your sponsorship from there too?  Please focus on these issues first and leave the case of Babri Mosque to be dealt within India.  That is not the case you are supposed to speak about as it is an internal matter for us to deal with.  Certainly it is another Religious Fanaticism that we faced and we would ensure that such cases do not make their occurrence.  But as an outsider you have absolutely NO case to make a statement on Babri Mosque.  That issue is long resolved now and everyone is at peace with the decision that has been taken to that effect. 

All said and done Mr. Mallik, your statements once again proved that you guys live in the same state of affairs that we would refer as “Primitive”.  You guys just make a statement that doesn’t make sense in the light of the facts known to the world.  Its high-time that you guys got Real and accepted that there is certainly a big time failure of Governance in Pakistan.  Please focus on the root causes that have dealt the big blow to you guys over and over again. Every time we would not come around to tell you “Guys, get your acts together”.

Finally Mr. Mallik – Please tell your Government not to take our patience and tolerance as an excuse to fend off your support to terrorism. The day the third largest army decides to wipe off those terror camps, there would be no place in the world to save your Government from embarrassment. You know it well from 1971 when 3000 odd Indian Soldier under General Jack had given 30 minutes ultimatum for Public Surrender.  Hope you would not like the History to be repeated!!!!!!!
