Once again a heinous
rape….
The wailing of the past rape victims has stopped. But what
of the inner agony that inflicts in silence every passing moment? The soundless
suffering of the innocent is for life and even beyond. And for what? No plausible
purpose at all. It continues to happen simply because the system, which was
created and fed and nurtured with hard earned money of the masses to protect
and support the masses, has been made blind by hunger for wealth and power. Try
to realize that if this state of inefficient governance continues, time is not
far when no one will be safe, no matter how highly placed or tightly secured he
or she is. History has ample evidences of this.

Try to understand that the survival and health of human
society depends on the survival and health of its women. Man has miserably
failed on this count; as such it is time women of the country took over the responsibility.
Rise and unite for the cause of the family, society, country and humanity. Forget
all differences of colours, shades and hues, political or otherwise, and put this
issue of survival and health of human society on the front burner. The existing
trend of divide and rule will do all it can to divide you and keep you divided on
one pretext or the other. It is you who have to remain firm and unwavering.
Once again a heinous

Remember you have the strength to punish man. You have the
power to reform the society. If you stop your son or brother or father or
husband when he commits first mistake, reprimand when he repeats and punish if he
still does not change, you are sure to rejuvenate the society. Look around and
you will find yourself occupying seats of power and decision making in every field
but are still under some unseen yoke of attachment. You have an overpowering
influence over man. What is needed is the will to exert and the dedication to
persevere. You are wise and sharp enough to devise the right methodology and you
are also patient enough to implement effectively. Shed the prolonged slumber
and step ahead with the awareness that the dastardly crime is not against that
single innocent victim but against your collective dignity.
Once again a heinous
rape….
Once again statements and counter statements. Once again,
maximum noise with minimum results. Even the recently promulgated stringent
laws have failed to curb rape incidents. The number of such incidents remains
same if not increased. Giving statements acts like a safety valve for release
of pent up anger. Those responsible and those who turn a blind eye love such statements
and speeches of anger and protest. They at once jump into the fray and
effectively shift the anger of masses from action to hollow diatribe. Those in
power have enough experience to extinguish the fire of vocal threat to their
power.
Once again a heinous
rape….
Enough is enough. It is time some new and radical ideas were
tried. Instead of high decibel sound why not try silence. Those who genuinely
want to protest against rape may stitch their lips and join protesters with a
resolve not to reply to any question or give any statement. The bang and echo
of silence is impossible to dissipate. Let all women, specially those in power
and those related to and associated with men in power, any where and in any walk
of life, take a vow that they will protest with threatening silence. Why not
resort to this silence? Why not all women of the country unite and hit the
system with silence, a complete and resounding silence? Why not hit with chilling
silence even their own men, particularly those responsible for running the
system efficiently?
*******
Silence is all powerful, as one day it is destined to work for the cause, for which silence was taken.
