So Did You Read Rape?

I like to begin my day sitting with newspaper and sipping on my hot coffee every morning. But the regular routine of coffee’s aroma combined with the feel of the fresh information supplier now creates a feeling of anguish. It is somehow difficult to comprehend the state of happenings in our country. I glance for some positive news but it is like searching your way in a tight maze.

From the last fort-night my eyes are greeted to stories of gruesome rape stories. From the time of Delhi gang-rape there seems to be an outbreak in the number of sex-deprived, chauvinistic, manhood proving fuckers in the country. Spare the language but I'm left with no choice. Not even 24 hours after the Delhi gang-rape there is a rape of an elderly woman again in the capital itself. People are so quick aren't they?

So she is now dead. Where is the trail of the case? Well, not dead yet. But given the history of our so called democratic justice, it might meet the dust soon. However, people are out there overall the country in mood for vigilantism but are well-treated with water-sprays, tear-gas and lathis. So much for standing up for your right.

I’m enraged with the number of stories in newspapers, big and small in word-limit stating just the cases of rape throughout the country every day. These are just the Few that get reported! Off the record it might as well be in sync with the birth-rate. The reasons stated are even more outrageous. She broke-up, she got raped. She answered back to his lewd comment, she got raped. She wore something that she was comfortable in, she got raped. She was a confident personality and earned, she got raped. She did nothing, she got raped. Sad is the state that I write the next sentence. She existed, she got raped!

Solution lies far ahead to be even implemented. Belonging to this society where the male in an attempt to show his strength has nothing but an erection. Because they have to prove their power all they need is to unzip and make the women strip of her very existence. If only sexually assaulting her wasn't enough to prove the manly pride, there is infliction of violence on the poor soul. You already distort her conscience and then damage her sometimes to death.

WHO gives you the right to mess (or better Fuck) around with the life of a woman? Worse is when you claim to love her or are supposed to be taking care and protecting her (reference to incest cases). Is it just because you belong to the presumably stronger sex? Well, we would have reached far ahead if they could prove their manhood and strength through other ways rather than channelling it through some sexual offences and in the process lose their anyway degraded dignity.

I write here not because everyone is talking about it. I write to express the anguish that goes through me every time I read about it. It gets on my nerves to start my day with reading sexual spree infected reality of my country. What a shame, Her confidence meets His impudence and there she lies crushed.
