"Freedom is not free"....living in an independent land costs a lot more than this whole life ahead of us. The other day I was reading about a recent murder of a 21 year old Radhika Talwar, The attacker managed to escape in the crowd, police said.
The motive behind the killing is yet to be ascertained, though police suspect it to be a case of a love-affair gone wrong.
Freedom is definitely not free with the recent spate of rape cases, murders, assaults, stalking, harassing and you name it all that is cornering women and girls in Delhi and across India. A 9 year old girl was raped this week by a daily wage earner. In another incident a five-year-old girl was raped, beaten up and dumped in a shrubby area in southwest Delhi.
The rapists usually go scot free. Some men are definitely not to be left open on Delhi streets it seems! Be it a illiterate labourer, a goverment 'officer' (sarkari babu) travelling in your bus/metro/train (who is always found staring at young women and girls and starts to scratch his groin incidently!!!), your bus driver, bus conductor etc.... The crime capital is raising its voices BUT with no supportive rape law no other supportive tools of law! So when will we get the freedom from this injustice.
