I am ashamed, I am surprised, I am unable to express
my feelings. Her death is not a single case of rape victim’s death, but it is
the ‘news’, which creates many news, raises many issues. Spoiled media people’s
happy sleep since the day it has come to the light. After her death, big wigs
of our country’s politics ‘expressing their grief’. All prime roads are closed,
metros are going to stop service, and who knows how many things will happen to
avert last Sunday’s incident. It shows that country has enough number of
security persons to protect (if our own ‘very respective government want’)
people. It means if they want they can actually tight the security for people’s
benefit and their safety. But sadly, they only envelop the city with great
security system when it is a matter of their own ‘safe life’. The situation is worse
if it is a matter of women safety and rising crimes against women not only in
the capital but also in the entire country.
The Indian politics, which is the main source of
bread and butter of people like us, every day gives birth many surprising
issues or news but this time it looks even tired with the heavy load of issues
that came after the gang-rape of this 23-yr old paramedic in a moving bus in
South Delhi. ‘Congressists’ to Communists every one took their own
responsibility to give speeches and bites on this issue! I am surprised how
many of them will come forward with all these issues now after the death? And what will do the ‘dented and ‘painted’ (according
to Mr. Abhijeet Mukherjee) protesters? Will they come again and again to raise
the issue and to give Mr. Mukherjee’s satirical remark an appropriate answer?
Do media will perform its real roll and coming with
issues that need to resolve now or will they wind up those issue after the
death of this young girl thinking that it is not ‘contemporary now’? These
issues were lying in cold store since a long time and came in front after
decades only after the brutal incident came in the light. Will these ‘now’
much-discussed and ‘front page’ news end with the death or the sorrowful demise
of the girl will spark the movement much bigger, much affective?
