Rape of a Society & Judiciary

It’s been two weeks since I last posted anything. Been busy of late to do anything or even think of writing up something.

Since the last 2 days, I’m having some weird thoughts about where we as humans are leading to? Have we reached the pinnacle of evolution that the prophecy of human destruction is going to come true?

Waking up every morning and going through the happenings across the world gives me a jitter. I feel why am I waking up each morning to read the papers & then trying hard not to throw up from the sickening news from all around me? A father raped his daughter for 9 years at the behest of his tantrik to get rich faster and even let the tantrik do it, while the mother was a mere spectator! Oh gosh, are we so desperate to get rich that we won’t even give a second thought about our own children? Far more surprising is that the mother herself forgot her womanhood & tries to blackmail the daughter to be silent about this whole issue.

It was the elder daughter and her uncle who blew the whistle after being guided by a stranger friend of her, with whom she shared her darkest horrors; when the tantrik & her father tried to repeat the same with the second daughter and was successful for once. Thanks to that complete stranger on the internet who had a heart of gold to support the girl and guide her without taking any undue advantage like her own parents. The only solace and support the girl could gain was from a complete stranger rather than her own family, which is really surprising. We Indians try to keep sex education and sexuality under wraps and tell the world that we’re traditional & orthodox.

We still believe in superstitions and want to get rich & successful instantly without striving hard for it. We still blindly follow tantriks or religious gurus who under the guise of helping us achieve salvation, take undue advantage of us and our faith in them. And our judiciary isn’t powerful or updated enough to punish such wrong doers and pass a judgment that could instill fear in others who might even think of doing something similar. We need lawmakers to make stringent laws and rigorous punishments should be belted out to the wrong doers who try to make mockery of the rules and regulations with their power, position or ties with politicians or others in power & position.
