A girl was gang raped in New Delhi, the national capital city, in a moving bus. This itself seems like the work of a ruthless villain from an 80's movie. Then, what shall we say about the 5 culprits who threw the 23 year old victim on the road, naked and shoved a long rod in her genitals? Are these 5 guys even human?
The Delhi Police took two days to find the culprits and still waiting for the judgement while the whole of young India is out on the roads protesting the hideous act.
India is a country where a problem is discussed over a long period of time without actually acting. The girl is fighting against death in the hospital and awaiting justice. The government is busy in discussions to create laws against such crimes. God knows when they will take a shape.
The orthodox (read veterans) citizens of India are blaming the girls in general, stating that the girls are the ones who invite such incidents by wearing short dresses. So, a girl's short dress is an indirect invitation for sexual assault? It gives enough reason for a man (if only he is man enough) to assault a lady??
And while all this is happening, the youth of India is protesting on the roads. Once, the spark fizzes off, it is happily forgetting everything. What happened to the Anna Hazare phenomenon? It was youngsters all around the campaign. Now where is it? In my personal opinion, youngsters today lack direction and commitment. A change in the existing society is a herculean task and it takes some time to attain.
To sum up, India needs a true leader, but not a politician who adds no value to the system...
