Damini, Amanath, Nirbhaya... different people christened her her differently. In the end, she stood for one and only one thing- The urge, the will, to overcome the worst and be hopeful for a better life. How many people are out there who believe nothing could good can ever happen with them. Who feel there's nothing worth living for in their life. One failed relationship. One bad exam. And you feel as if your life has ended. As if there's no better thing in the world. Learn from this girl. In her last few days, in a way she became a symbol of hope. She taught everyone, what is it to live. She wanted to live. She had dreams of a better future.
And to honor that dream, to honor the brave soul, the least we can do is make sure this moment doesn't die down. Not in a long time have In a city like Delhi, infamous for being rude and cold and what not, have I seen such solidarity for anyone. This is a movement for change. For Hope. For a better society. And for humanity.
It's time we change the mentality of those who believe they can violate a person so brutally and still get away . Capital punishment, newer stringent laws are nothing but a psychological safe-guard. It's indeed sad that in the midst of all the protests and lathi-charge, tear gas, unprecedented crowd, we hear of girls being raped in Kalkaji, in Patiala, the latter victim being driven to commit suicide because of the attitude of the police. It's sad to hear that on Saturday, 80% of calls to Police about molestation came from India Gate. Is this how things will change. Women are not safe for the leering eyes of these detestable men even in a such a protest.
Indian society is a many headed monster. You sever one head, and the rest shall continue to live. The outlook of the society is what is needed to be changed. There's no one solution. The male dominated patriarchal character of society, where sons are brought up to believe they are superior, the mass-illiteracy. The lack of sense of duty among the police personnel. And the general insensitivity of the people, everything contributes to this chaos and anarchy.
That girl and her friend were lying naked on the ground for close to 2 hours before they were shifted to Safdurjang. Where was this sense of solidarity then? Oh yes, 200 people did assemble to see the drama unfold. Of course!
Naare lagane se kuch nahi hota boss. Untill you want the change to come. People have been a part of this protest just to get even with the Police personnel. Girls have been molested in the crowd. The setup for Republic Day has been disturbed. Police and media vans stoned. People have been hurt. A cop has died.
Violence is not the answer to anything,
The horror she lived through is unimaginable. The brutality of it. You shudder even at the thought of it. I hope no one ever has to live through it again. Ever again. In a sense, it's good she didn't make it. Her life would have been scared forever. I hope she's gone to a better world. I hope, no one has the same fate as her, ever again.
RIP Brave Girl. A symbol of hope.
