No.........I am not outraged at the death of the particular Gangrape victim and the clumsy way the whole episode was handled by the Government....................That is because this is not an isolate incident....The rape comes as no surprise.......Our cities and towns have become extremely unsafe for women.................it is not as if rape is new to India or to Delhi..............What was surprising was the middle class youngsters coming out to the street in large numbers, shedding their apathy............................Maybe we have to thank Anna Hazare, whose agitation last year against corruption inspired the very same constituency, or perhaps the parents, brothers and sisters of those took to streets this time...................
What is extremely regretable is the lack of courage and moral conviction shown by political leaders, who refused to come out and address the protesters..................the pathetic Government and the Nehru clan hid in their closets while the City was in turmoil.......................the Prime Minister finally broke his silence after a few days and made an ass of himself..................... the Home Minister, whose only qualification is that he belongs to Scheduled Caste, decided to outdo his one time predecessor Shivraj Patil, which one would have thought was an impossible act to follow.
One can understand the Queen bee, the Dump Prince and the Sphinx PM to be insensitive....It is in their genes........the future PM Meira Kumar was actually smiling while condoling the death of the rape victim................................Sheila Dixit trie to politicise the issue, even while the opposition refused to ( I wonder why. What prevented the opposition from taking up the cudgel and provide leadership!).................... What was shocking was the lack of moral conviction shown by the President, who refused to come out and meet the protestors outside the Rashtrapathi Bhavan.......................And we thought the current incumbent is an improvement on his disastrous predecessor......................Abdul Kalam would have definitely walked down the stairs of Rashtrapathi Bhavan if he were the President.............
We, as a Nation, have no leaders, no moral conviction, no policing, no detectives, no judges and of course no rulers............................the leaders are cowards....................the policemen dont prevent crime from happening.............detectives dont detect any crime and bring the criminals to justice.........judges are hapless in view of poor evidence submitted in the court (and we have a ridiculous case where a Kerala Minister was given a One year RI for corruption, and he walked out after spending 3 months in a 5 star hospital, having managed to get a pardon from a friendly Government and the Judges did not even deem it fit to pull up and imprison the CM who signed the order, blatantly violating the due process of law).....................the Government time and again proclaims that the law will take its course............but when it does, it goes out of the way to subvert it..................if you are in doubt, google Rajiv Gandhi Killers, or Afsal Guru or the guy in Punjab whose hanging is defered for fear of Akali backlash.................we have the case of two Italians who murdered Indian fishermen allowed to leave the Country to 'celebrate' christmas aided and abetted by a helping Indian Government...........
The Common man is afraid to go to the police station.............the criminals are supported by the police and the politicians...................the average policeman is unfit................................hardly one can run 400 meters without breaking down....................they have hardly any crime detection skills...................there is a disconnect between the IPS lobby and the ordinary policemen..............the Police and Judiciary are morally and monetarily corrupt to the boot..............the law is for the rich and well connected and not for the poor..........the Government is uncaring and insensitive...................
What we have is anarchy................anarchy in the Parliament..........anarchy in the Cabinet..........anarchy in the Government offices............anarchy on the roads.............anarchy in the police station.................anarchy in the courts................anarchy in the media.................
It is a wonder we are surviving as a Country.......................We have no right to
