“Yatra naaryastu pujyanthe, ramanthe tatra devataa” is a Sanskrit quote from the Holy text of Manu Smriti that very solemnly says,”Gods reside where women are worshiped”. However,it would be a total mockery of the holy text now if I try to paraphrase it here in today’s world of brutal gang rapes,sexual abuses,domestic violence and all other sorts of unholy violence against women.. Nevertheless,it would still be very pertinent to mention about it’s relevance here,no matter whatever the time and period this holy text was ever quoted..
Despite some ugly practices like Sati,Jauhar,Purdah and the infamous Devadasi system,people in olden days India still had a great belief in the above quoted text and as a result the Indian women,for many centuries,have enjoyed a very special status in India commanding enormous respect from all the sections of the glorious Indian society..
Moreover,Indian women have occupied a very special position in the crucial decision making portfolios of every governing body and henceforth have added an elegant grace to the position with their vast knowledge of many intricate subjects and topics..
Unfortunately,there are always a sect of rogues in every society and these rogues have always been viewing women as objects of sexual desire and carnal pleasure..With their diabolic activities,these rogues have always been crossing all the limits of decency and are always trying to prove their dirty objectives right..
These rogues have now become the brand ambassadors of all sorts of sexual violence against women in India and pathetically the special city of Delhi is always in the news for most of such heinous crimes against women…
The brutal Delhi gang rape of a twenty three year old physiotherapy student in the hands of six such rogues in a private bus on the night of 16th December, 2012 that tragically led to her untimely death in the early hours of 29th December,2012,calls for an immediate attention of all the human beings of this animal world to unequivocally condemn such barbaric acts in public ..
First Of All What Makes Delhi So Special..??
The
city of Delhi,apart from being the capital city of the world’s largest
democracy called India,is also a historic city of great
heritage richness and varied cosmopolitan culture.. That makes Delhi a
highly sought after travel destination for many foreign tourists.. More
importantly, people of Delhi are known for their warmth and hospitality
that would force any first time visitor to this city to instantly fall
in love with it..But What Went Wrong With Delhi
The growth of Delhi was gradual but,however,it was very substantial..As is in the case of many growing cities,Delhi too,in it’s growing process,has attracted many anti social elements,who had come to this lovely city under the guise of small timers,petty business men and politicians..
Over a period of time,these inhuman elements have gone up from strength to strength,capitalizing on the potentiality of the easily gullible natural inhabitants of the Delhi city..Further more,these anti social elements,without an iota of gratitude,went about sowing the seeds of crudity and rudeness among their followers and it actually started adding negative shades to this otherwise colorful city of a life filled Delhi…
With one misdeed after the other,these crooks have grown from strength to strength and made the human life the most unlivable for the people of Delhi in Delhi and more so for it’s women population..
The above mentioned gang rape,of a twenty three year old physiotherapy student in the hands of six rogues,is the worst thing that was ever to happen in the glorious history of Delhi and it finally signaled the fall of human values to the lowest ebb and has unceremoniously heralded the beginning of a bloody chapter in the history of a culture filled Hindu nation called India..
This
incident kicked up quite a lot of storm in Delhi and has very badly
enraged the otherwise well behaved youth of Delhi..Suddenly a lot of
discussion began on all the media forums with everyone raising his or
her own voice in his or her own unique way.. Unfortunately,this gruesome
incident also forced the safety analysts of India to reveal some very
disturbing facts about the life of women in Delhi..These facts,quite
tactfully,are thus far hidden from the media and also from the common
man of Delhi for a very long time.Here Are The Hidden Facts About The Life Of Women In Delhi
The Delhi police,according to Bharat Gupta,the former Commissioner Of Police, has registered about 568 cases of rape in 2011,which is 12.8 percent more than what it was in 2010..
In all,there were ten incidents of raping of women in moving vehicles reported in the last ten years in Delhi and quite shockingly four of them occurred in 2012 alone..
According to the latest statistical data provided by the United Nations,eighty percent of the Delhi women,today,are living with terrible fear of insecurity and uncertainty..In all,about a shocking sixty percent of them have either experienced rape,sexual violence,abuse or molestation..
Seventy percent of the men in Delhi,according to the survey,have very shamelessly confessed that they have remained mute spectators to many rape incidents and other incidents of sexual violence against women that took place right in front of them..Delhi men’s lack of courage and the lack of their will to fight against the violators of law,according to social scientists,is encouraging the crime rate grow rapidly in Delhi..
Lack of proper street lights and inadequate police surveillance in lonely areas of suburban Delhi is encouraging many criminals of rape to a very large extent..
Quite surprisingly or even quite shockingly,in 98% of the rape cases so far reported in Delhi,the victims were either raped by people they know very well or by their associates with whom they are very closely associated with..It clearly means “these are are the opportunistic crimes committed by criminals in closed rooms,taking advantage of their proximity with the victim”…Out of the 568 rape cases so far reported in Delhi,only 2.8 percent rapes were committed by strangers..
Four
years ago,the Delhi state government has amended the laws of
prostitution in Delhi and has introduced a few stringent laws to curb
the prostitution that was very rampant in Delhi those days.. According
to social reformists, these tough measures backfired and forced the
people involved in flesh trade,either for pleasure or for business,to
resort to such measures of gang rapes,assault and all other sorts of
forcible abduction and sexual violence against women in Delhi,just to
disturb the rhythm of the city..SOURCE : Telugu newspaper “SAKSHI” 2012-12-19
