Are we living in Goon’s
World
It’s been 4 days now since the incident occurred. For those
who don’t know here is some detail. On 16th July, a teen girl
studying in 11th was molested by a mob in Guwahati, Assam. She was
leaving from a hotel/bar after attending birthday party of a friend. As soon as
she left from the bar those criminals started abusing and then had a fight with
that lonely girl. The girl asked for help but there was nobody to help. The
incident continued for almost 30 minutes before police arrived.
Is there anything seriously wrong with these people? Have
they done anything exceptional here? I really don’t understand how in the world
people get together to commit such a serious crime. Are we living in a time
when such a huge number of people are just insane? What should be the
punishment for those criminals? They haven’t done any rape but the act is
nothing less than a murder I would say. The police rescued the girl from the
mob but haven’t succeeded yet to get hold of all the offenders. If girls are
not safe in a city like Guwahati what to say about smaller towns and villages,
are they any safe? Every coming day seems more unsafe than the previous day.
It’s high time for all the citizens to wake up and raise the
voice against such heinous acts. We all need to be active not only inside the
house or office but all around. Its a shame that nobody even tried to save the
girl from those crooks. We have enough laws in place but action on those laws
is almost negligible. If the guilty is not punished such offends will keep on
happening. Every now and then we hear such kind of scandals. We need to help
the community. If we kept mum like this, soon a time will come when we will not
be able to get out of our homes. Are we waiting for such a situation to arise,
before we act?
The need of the hour is to punish the lawbreakers. If the
punishment is a tad higher than needed, it would be good to start with.
Otherwise it is tough to say what else we will see in time to come. Wake up
India, before it’s too late.
Looking at others can resolve an issue, but
looking at self will surely resolve the issue.
