Nirbhaya case

It was an incident that shocked the nation. We couldn't save her but Justice was the least that we wanted for her.

Today after 4 years the justice has been served. The 4 convicts of Delhi Gangrape have been sentenced to be hanged till death. It has come as a relief and we hope it sets an example for others.

But isn't Justice delayed Justice denied? Doesn't it also points out the loop holes in our system? It does suggest that we need to make better laws, something that instills confidence in the hearts of civilians and fear in the minds of criminals. We need to restore the faith of general masses in our judicial system.

When so many people came out on the roads to protest, there was a wave of anger and frustration that we saw. We hoped that maybe things will change but what followed was unfortunate. Crimes are just becoming more and more common. Laws have become a joke and the Police and our Judicial System is mocked by these criminals.

The question is when will things really change? Discussion and debate is important but action is of greater significance. We need to initiate the change and changing our own mindset is the first step. Rather than hiding our daughters behind doors why not to teach our sons to behave, why not to do what we preach? There is a long fight we have ahead of us, so why not to begin sooner.
