Do You Agree?

We as a country are failing and falling apart. Failing to provide our children a brighter future, a better education and healthcare and most of all we as a country and society have failed in the worst possible manner in providing a safe and secure environment where a child can smile carelessly, where they can bloom like a flower blooms in spring.

I am enraged. But our anger and outrage is short lived. We are past rapes. Yes, past of it. No one bats an eyelid when we hear about it. People stopped ever since an iron rod was used to puncture someone's intestine while raping her. We have seen worst of inhumanity. So we hardly skip a breath when we hear of another molestation, sexual assault or for that matter even child sexual abuse. Every now and then we need a wake-up call. We wait for something more worse, more savage, more brutal, more inhuman (even words are at loss) to happen to express our short lived anger and outrage. Another Asifa or Nirbhaya case is repeating now and then in some or other parts of the country.

My very first question is to the mainstream media houses (oh sorry, rather you should be called biased propaganda machine of this country). What took you 3 months to report this incident? Why none of the mainstream media did a prime time earlier on Kathua rape case? Let me answer this question for you. Supposedly you (the so called fourth pillar of democracy) were more busy in covering death of legendary Bollywood actress Sridevi ji and formulating & presenting various conspiracy theory behind her death. You were busy in covering marriage of Virushka and rent and features of their new house. What Salman khan ate in dinner in jail is more important a masala news than that of a girl child or women being sexually abused in some obscure and remote village of this country.

So what changed in these 3 months that compelled them to do a prime time? Media houses in this country saw an opportunity to spread a propaganda to promote enmity and hatred between two communities driven by vested interests of certain organisation. You calling for justice suddenly 3 months after the real incident itself is a question mark on your credibility. And why only the case of Asifa needs to be discussed in prime-time debates (oh sorry prime-time fish market). What about similar incidents occurring in other parts of the country? Who will voice the case of rape of 6 year old girl from Kamrup (Assam) or 11 year old girl from Nagaon (Assam) raped and burnt alive or 35 year old lady gang-raped in front of her husband. Are these crimes less inhuman or less brutal or less savage. Who will provide voice to them? Why this selectiveness in reporting a crime?  All these happened within a week and but our media doesn't seem to care about it. Search about all these case and read about them. You all are very well educated and can certainly find out the reason for selectiveness once you read about all these cases. I am not going to pin-point it. I am all for justice and the culprits of Ashifa must be punished with the harshest terms for such hateful and savagely inhuman act. Media houses in this country stooped so low, that they started using a disaster for a family, such dreaded and heinous crime to circulate the malicious propaganda driven by vested interests of certain people and organisation.

Crime and criminals does not have any religion and i certainly believe in it. What I am going to write next may sound like i am trying to paint the case in color of communal hatred. But for me it is a question to the people of this country, question to the lawmaker and law-enforcer, question to the political bastards of this country. It must resonate loud and clear.

What do we call it when thousands of so called saviors of hinduism and lawyers of Kathua bar association and Jammu High Court Bar Association call out for bundhs and take out rallies to prevent filling of charge-sheet against the culprits? We as country and society have to introspect and answer few questions.
