They should be punished as well!
Well said.
I used to wonder if it was the common public mentality that was to blame. But this incident has affected us, the indian public quite strongly.
Now after reading comments by politicians, am wondering is it due to the fact that the ones who are supposed to be advocating women protection laws and their safety are indulging in these crimes...no wonder then, their attitude shows no respect or sympathy. Policemen who take consistently good action get transferred...they are used as scapegoats by both common public and politicians. Judges too have gotten transferred or are made to quit. Those committing the crimes are getting more and more comfortable doing so 😡.
Even the women who made it big in political circles has had someone else backing her up...have very rarely seen women politicians taking a strong stand. most often, they are found agreeing to what's already been said and been backed up by a senior/male politician.
In reality, most people are used to seeing women retreating away in shame due to these kind of rapes. no one expected someone to strongly fight back as done by the Delhi girl. Even in mainstream cinema, the women are left crying or commit suicide. Out of sight, Out of mind.
In addition, poverty and lack of adequate infrastructure have broken down the moral values over time. Am happy that at least now more and more women are not afraid to voice their complaints and that crimes are getting reported (instead of being swept away under the carpet). That is the first crucial step.
