SHAME, BLAME & DISGRACE ON A COUNTRY AND EVERY WORLD CITIZEN by Wendell Rodricks There have been too many words, written, spoken and heard about the eight year old child who was lured, drugged, raped multiple times, killed brutally with a rock and left to die in Kashmir. Firstly, let me clarify that I have no leanings to any political party in this country or internationally. Nor does it concern me about the religious backdrop of this particular heinous crime. For all we care, this child could be any child in the world. I don’t care if the child is a girl or a boy. If the child is white, black, yellow or brown. The nationality of the eight year old is also not of import. This could be a child from India, Pakistan, China, Russia, England, Europe, Africa, USA, Canada. South America, Australia, Scandinavia, Middle East, Far East or the far away Arctic. I also do not want to know if this child hailed from Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Catholic, Parsi, Buddhist, Jewish or Atheist parents. Nor if the unfortunate innocent was raped in a church, temple, mosque, gurudhwara or fire temple. None of this is important. Nor is the time line important. If this crime happened a minute ago, an hour ago or a year ago is of no consequence. An eight year old was violated, brutally, by any standard of human suffering. Then left to die without a care in the world. An innocent soul plucked from innocence. Then destroyed, trampled on and annihilated in the worst way imaginable... by human beings. The fact that they were Indians, mature and juvenile males who were in a depraved, crazed state of destruction of innocence of the most atrocious intent is personally shameful to me as an Indian. The reaction to the crime is baffling and incomprehensible to the extreme. Don’t talk to us about religious minorities, politicization, time lines, ethnicity and secular or communal influences. We the Indian and world citizen do not care about these frivolous details, Frivolous because in the face of this crime, the chatter, excuses, blame and vote bank do not matter. What matters is the shame and violence to innocence. Can we address the latter and keep the focus squarely where it should be? This child could be yours, the neighbours, any nation’s, neighboring nations, the world’s child. What has happened to her needs immediate justice. The violence against girls, women, boys, babies, children, animals, any living creature is the spotlight here. It is akin to trapping a butterfly and then brutally, painfully tearing each wing with glee... to finally rip each leg, antennae and head apart from its body with a sharp blade into little pieces so that it’s soul is totally destroyed. This is worse. The child was sexually abused and violated not once, multiple times over, in a state of forced, induced stupor. Are the perpetuators of this crime content that their sperm has been well spent? That they have attained some religious and political righteousness! That their conscience is clear that what they have done is a justification of their warped sense of depravity and destruction aided by a power trip over the powerless. NO! So do not talk to us about “misplaced anger and rage”. Do we sing, smile, laugh, dance with glee at this atrocity of the most heinous nature? NO! Please channel our combined very real rage and anger at the threshold of your consciousness dear India, Indian politicians, people in Indian corridors of justice. Do not speak about politics. Do not tamper with evidence via loop holes in the law. Do NOT intimidate and threaten the lawyers representing the violated child and the Indian and international community who want to see justice prevail. NO! This is not your power trip. This eight year old girl has suffered the power trip of deranged, brutal, viscous and demonic men. Indian men. Got that? GOT THAT INTO YOUR THICK HEADS YOU INDIAN LEADERS AND INDIAN ADMINISTRATORS OF JUSTICE? NOW DEAL WITH IT. DEAL WITH OUR OUTRAGE. DEAL WITH THE ANGER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME AND JUST DEAL WITH IT ALL YOU MORONS WHO ARE UNFEELING, UNCARING AND THINK THAT JUSTICE CAN BE TRAMPLED ON IN FRONT OF THE WORLD STAGE.
