So they are being hanged. The judiciary of India gave a "fast track" decision that took 9 months to decide punishment for people who had confessed their crime within days of being caught. People are happy. Serves them right. Justice has been served. Has it?
No it has not. When you are hanged , and your neck can't take the pressure and your spine breaks , it takes seconds before you die. She suffered for forty five minutes. And for fourteen days after that. There was news that she will live and then the next day they said she might die. One day the doctors were hopeful, the next day they had to fly her to Singapore because matters were getting out of hand for even the best medical institution in her country. Her intestines came out in the torture she was put through. That's not rape. That's the kind of heinous horrendous hell no one wishes upon their worst enemy. Hanging someone is no punishment for this crime.
The 'juvenile' was sane enough to rape a girl and torture her with an iron rod, but he was a kid when it came to justice. What kind of law can't see which situation can be considered worthy of a law's application and which can't be? The upholders of law in the country behave just like the statue you see in court. They can blindly follow rules at best. Nothing more than that.
When the girl's father got to know of the 'juvenile's' punishment, he said, ' its probably why people pray that they don't have a daughter. Atleast they will never have to go through what I am going through.' How heartbroken does a man have to be to say this. We can't even imagine what the family is going through. The death penalty will bring them no solace. They are condemned to hell for life.
This is not justice . This is a joke. Its a mockery of women and the institution called India. Now there will be court appeals and then NGO's will come for their share of the limelight and then who knows, the President might suddenly grow a heart and give an approval to the mercy plea. I beg to whoever has the power to influence this decision, do not worsen the family's pain. Snapping the rapists' necks is already the bare minimum you can do for Nirbhaya. Don't spit on her grave. There should be no mercy.
I have been a confident girl all my life. I went out alone, wherever I went. Never needed a chaperon. But this incident shook me. I haven't been able to be that confident after that. I pray that my sisters and all my friends whom I love to death are the lucky few who will always be safe. And I will always do that now. Everyday.
Because in India, you need God on your side to be safe. Atleast for now. Let's hope this changes soon.
