Rapes, molestation, murders The frequency of these brutal , inhuman crimes against women are on the rise. It may be that they are reported, instead of being hushed in the past. The electronic media and print media are quick on the uptake, informing and putting pressure on police to act. The society today is whole hearted supporting action against the perpetrators by mass demonstrations and solidarity movement. The greatest harm and watering down of these ghastly incidents comes from irresponsible, insensitive men in power and which is highly detestable and deplorable
The legal formalities should be time bound. The offenders need to be in custody till the case is over, without any bail. The punishment of 7 years as proposed is insignificant for these heinous crimes The punishment is not acting as the deterrent and should be more and life sentence should be inflicted The victim however bold to sublimate this scar is not the remedy. The pain and agony lies buried deep in to the psyche for a life time The future is marred permanently for the women of this atrocity and she has limp on crutches of courage and determination. She suffers alone and in silence with head bent down in shame and guilt for no fault of her own. It is true that stigma is indelible on the mind, even if the wound is healed temporarily on the surface Fortunately the society is more accommodating, forgiving and understanding about the predicament of the victim, But then the victim has to fend for herself and it is not likely that her marriage prospect are any bright, unless a chivalrous gentleman embraces her into his loving arms, but not out of charity In the mean while the perpetrator should be flogged in the public square, paraded naked, if castration is to severe and inhuman The victim living without any dignity and self respect, shame. Loss of prospects her feelings are hurt beyond redemption Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
