And she is no more. The Delhi rape victim, whom people were calling Damini and Nirbhaya, succumbed to her injuries while most of us got busy with life. Of course she was a Nirbhaya, the fearless, who despite going through unbearable pain and trauma, lived to tell the truth.
The whole world is mourning her death and each one of us is regretting for not being courageous enough to take a stand against this increasing insensitivity of men towards women. We all are just agitated! But, what we all should do instead is, bring reform by turning our agitation into demand and compel the law and order to be strong enough, to ensure that something so heinous is never repeated!
While the leading women of Colors have been setting examples of their strength and capabilities, here are the men of Colors, extremely embarrassed yet enraged about the shameful incident, demanding the most stringent punishment for these rapists.
Manish Raisinghani, Siddhant of Sasural Simar Ka says, "Punishment is a lesson for the culprit, it prevents us from breaking the law. But, if so many cases are happening around that means our law is very weak. Rape is a physical torture and mental humiliation, is a rapist really put through that? I doubt! So the punishment should be hard enough to traumatize the accused. Only if their punishment becomes an example for the rest it will work. Only if the person knows that however strong his political connection is, he will not escape ' Then it will work!"
Colors has always aimed at bringing social reform by highlighting the issues like child marriage and widow remarriage. Women have always been portrayed as strong and decisive individuals in all our shows, but with such a spiteful act happening around in the country, we feel even more responsible towards changing the mindset of our society by being a part of it.
