She worked for a call centre..He was a 16 year old boy,about
to appear for His boards exam in few months. Almost everyday he would go to
bring his sister back home from work. He did the same that day. But destiny had
in store something really horrible for the brother and sister. While returning
back home they were chased by a gang of boys who tried to sprinkle alcohol on
his sister and molest her. On protesting the group pounced on him,started kicking hard and finally stabbed him to death. The girl went on
pleading for mercy. She tried to stop vehicles for help,but none stopped. Her cries
went unheard.
Today I did see a mother cry helplessly for her dead son. Everyday
while sleeping at night she hopes and prays that everything will turn out to be
a horrific dream and that her son will return to her. They are poor and had
brought up three kids with lot of trouble. They are still fighting for justice.
Today I do have a lot of unanswered questions in my mind. We
all do have them on listening to such incidents. May be we didn't face them but
we do fear ,what we would have done if we had to face the same? What mistake
did the boy commit? Tried to save his sister, that was the mistake? Group of
boys armed, kills a boy who is unarmed and innocent and single. Wow!! what our society is turning into? What is lacking? What is the exact reason
behind all these? The culprits still keeps on threatening the family.. no sign
of regret.. they are showing their power of money now. What kind of a justice
is this on GOD’s part? The girl is molested almost everyday in court by the
opposition lawyer, her parents watch it helplessly.. is this called justice?
People say whatever God does its done for some good reason..
is their any good reason behind this incident? The family doesn't want sympathy
but they want justice.. so that they don’t see another innocent boy dying while
trying to save his sister.
We can listen to such incidents and think and get affected
but the actual pain can always be understood by the victim. Parents can only
understand what it is to see their child’s death,
their sufferings.
There are many such incidents which leaves us shocked.. such
incidents have destroyed the lives of the victims but their culprits are moving
around freely and leading a normal life..examples are that of acid throwing
victim Sonali Mukherjee, rape victim Aruna Shanbaug and many others. WHY? What is
their mistake? Who have given those inhuman beasts of our society the right to
destroy their lives?

Power should be used for the betterment of society , of
individuals who are in need and not use against them.
I feel our country’s legal system is really lacking
somewhere.. I even feel that these beasts should be handed over to the common
public.. their judgement should be done by the victims and not by any judge
sitting in a room, who doesn't even know what exactly the victim have faced and is still going
through.. many may think or say that common people cant take law in their
hands..but answer a simple question of mine as asked before even.. who have
given right to those culprits to decide the fate to these innocent people? I feel
some example should be really set.. so that these beasts learn a lesson and
others think several times before committing such sins..

Cant we be a bit more human? Cant we hold a bit more respect
for each one of us, specially for girls? A woman does have different faces- she
can be your mother, your sister, your girlfriend, your wife, your daughter…
what would you do if something as such happened with them? They are not any object
to be used and thrown away..when we can give respect to Maa Kali ,Maa Durga ,
Maa Laxmi, Saraswati then why not a normal female gender? Think.. maybe its
time to stop PREYING upon them and start RESPECTING them..
WAKE UP SOCIETY… WAKE UP..!!
