Rape

Everyone knows about the Nirbhaya Incident which took place on a cold December night in 2012, where a girl in her mid twenties was brutally raped and left to die by six men in a moving bus. This incident highlighted some very messed up issues of our country which need to be tended to as soon as possible.


Rape inflicts not only physical pain but also mental torture upon the female. A rape under no circumstances ever can be justified. Especially in a country like India, where in the 21st century women are still oppressed to a certain limit, it’s essential that crimes like rape be prevented at any cost. This will happen only when each and every individual starts making an effort to bring down crime. Remember, the number of good people is always more than the bad ones. Let’s then come together and unite in the fight against evil.


The very first step is to not only make stricter laws but to make sure they are enforced. Being in a democracy doesn’t mean people have the right to do whatever they want even if it’s illegal. Unless the judiciary starts punishing the guilty without considering caste or creed or status or money, the innocent will keep living in fear and the culprits will roam around free.

Also NGOs should come forward and spread awareness about such issues, right from the very basic level – morals are something a child keeps with him for life. If is made morally sound right from childhood he won’t deviate from it. Because as they say, prevention is better than cure. Why not create a world where everyone lives in peace and harmony with a sense of security. Sure this looks like a far-fetched dream right now, given the present condition of the country. But if everyone starts walking towards it, one day it might just become reality.
