If you do wrong you ought to be punished

Looking at the way I have been writing, it's been pretty obvious that I write when I feel so many thoughts going through my head. Today 29th December is a sad day in the country on the demise of the 23 year old girl after her brutal gang  rape and torture. I have been hearing a lot of noise or news as I must say from various media houses on TV. I personally always had a lot going through my head by getting to know about the no. of incidents of rape over the last year through news channels of course.

Just been introspecting and looking back at my life on what are the incidents where in I saw someone taking a stand against smallest of indecent behavior against the girl. With this post I intend to share all that with you all.

Few days back I updated my Facebook status as :

" For every one of you who commented on #delhirapecase request you to stand up to the eve teasers or make sure you complain about them.. If we do our bit then a social conscience would develop .. as per me this act is result of consistent ignorance by each and every one of us...do this to bring about a social change by being the change..a society is a reflection of the people living in it..next time you see someone getting eve teased or you are the victim then stand up against it.. Let everyone know that disrespecting a woman in any way is something for which one can be debarred from society ..Share it if you like it."

The statement came to me because the people around me taught me not to do such stupid things, as a teenager young boy one is always challenged to show his heroics by doing such acts of stupidity like eve teasing, that makes you the chosen one or may be the SARPANCH of the gang with which you hang out in the evening.

I personally feel that a lot needs to be done as a society from each and every one of us to bring a change in the society where in woman would not be treated with inhuman treatments like domestic violence, rape , eve teasing etc. I would like to share short snippet incident what made me an individual who knows how to respect woman.

Now the question is how did I learn it:

There was this time in our colony that we were celebrating HOLI and the colony had a Russian complex inside too, for the guys it was a dream come true because that was the day when all of us were allowed to get into the Russian complex and for guys it was a dream come true to meet the Russian girls and play HOLI with them.
Everything used to happen within the limits apart from this one time when a group of my seniors were drunk and then on the day of HOLI they manhandled the girl. Since ours was a small colony this news spread like a wild fire. The next course of action taken was that all the parents of the colony met together and the parents of the seniors who were part of the episode agreed to teach each of their kids a lesson. I still remember the father of the guy coming out and letting the mob to take OR I should say drag his son out and taken to the task in front of the whole crowd. The guys were slapped and beaten not profusely but to the right level so that they realize ki "ASLI BAAP KAUN HAI". (WHO's THE BOSS AROUND HERE)

This incident instilled a faith in me that no one who does wrong can do away with it, my seniors also realized that and all of them are leading a respectable life in the same colony. They hold their head high today because they became the symbol of the notion that if you do wrong you will get punished for it.

I saw this whole episode and came to know that this is wrong and made sure that I always discourage the eve teasing and any other sort of act of stupidity against any of the girls. Well I did became infamous in the group sometimes, but I feel that if all of us can do it a little bit from our end then may be whole of India OR WORLD can become a better place to live.

I learned it but why there's so many people who are yet to get this lesson:

This is because I saw the act getting punished and people repenting for it immediately.
But in reality one who does the crime because of our great Indian judicial system which works on the principal of :

We can leave even 1000 criminals to escape but nowhere should one innocent be prosecuted

takes so much time to decide if the crime was done and how and by whom. 

After that to deliver the judgment it takes so much time that people who were not the part of the crime but have a knack that they might want to commit it in future get a feeling that they can get away with it because the other guy is still able to get away from the actual punishment which he is supposed to get.

FOR ME ITS SIMPLE GUYS THAT IF YOU DO WRONG YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR IT. I GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM THE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. THIS SENSITIZED ME AND MADE ME AN INDIVIDUAL WHICH I AM TODAY.

I am pretty sure that the people who do such heinous crimes would have gotten away with smaller scale crimes in their past, this would have acted as boost to their psychological thinking that if they got away from that crime they can get away from this one too.

All of this is my personal opinion and there's no intention bad mouth about any one.

 

Until next time.
