My country is rife with protests, riots and candle light processions - the aftermath of the Delhi gang rape and murder. Will anything concrete and positive come out this time, or will it fizzle out as usual?
The crescendo of "Hang the Rapists", the cries for "Capital Punishment" and screams for "Chemical Castrations" seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Obviously it has not even reached the nooks and corners of our land because each day brings new cases of rape, gang rape, molestation and murder of women. What is wrong with the system? Yesterday, a minor girl who was raped in a car till her spine was broken, died in the hospital. The smart police arrested the rapist and proudly claimed that he was a serial rapist. This is the fifth time that he was being arrested for the same crime!! Wonder how long he will be in confinement, wonder when and who his next exploit will be.
There must be something intrinsically wrong with some of our Indian males. They seem to be in a constant state of Musth. Is it because of our spicy Indian diet?
And the Politicians have their scapegoat, their usual punching bag...The Westernization! One minister from MP says that it is the lack of dupattas that is bringing on this onslaught. One from Kerala says that girls should not wear skirts!! Then who should, may I ask? The men, no doubt. If a little bit of feminine flesh, her arms, her knees can titillate these politicians so much, what, I wonder would happen if they found themselves on the Phuket beach or any of the Australian beaches! They would definitely die of an Orgasmic Attack.
Then there is the India Bharat divide where where only westernized Indians get raped but not the rural Bharathiyars. Little do they know that 80% of the rape cases are in the rural areas amidst the Dalits and the Adivasis. May be they will consign that to a third sector- Hindusthan, comprising of lower cast Hindus whereas Bharath will be the upper castes. Maryadas, limits and Lakshman Rekhas confining the woman to the hearth, taking care of the males' homes and 'keeping them happy' (whatever that means) are what they advise. Then let Sushma Swaraj and Co first abdicate Parliament.
