One of my friends was chatting on whatsapp with his wife. His
wife forwarded him a link which was of an article circulated by times of India.
The article was about a girl child who was raped few days back and now she has
returned back from ICU. Well after reading the article my friend was
distressed, he asked his wife not to send such articles as it makes him realise
that this country is not benign for young girls, and it is perilous to have a
girl child who may get rapped at very young age which will lead to damage to
her organs making her life hell.
None of the parents in this world can dream about their girl
child like this. It is a perturbing fact that our society is becoming unsafe
for girl child. You may call Delhi as rape capital and you are right but in our
nation hardly any place is left which is safe for girl child.
His reaction made me to think, converse and research on this
issue. I made a small study which enlightened the real picture of the atrocious
crimes such as rape in our country.
I had gone through the Shafi Alam, IPS and Director General
of National Crime Records Bureau’s report which was published in the first week
of June 2013.
The above graph shows that there is proliferation in rape
cases in the country from 2008 to 2011. Adding more facts to the above graph: In
the year 2002, 16373 cases of rape had been registered which is comparatively
way lesser than the year 2011. Somebody can contend on this by saying that the
population of this country is also increasing every year so why not crime rate.
I would just say; buddy the increased number of crime such as rape has nothing
to do with the increased populace. It only implies the botch of system of this republic.
We are not able to provide security to our own women.
Let us dig more deep through the following facts.
1. You must be thinking that NCR is the rape capital, but it
isn’t true. The rape capital in this country is Madhya Pradesh where in the
year 2012, 3425 rape cases were filed. In which 176 cases were from Indore.
2. In the year 2012, NCR had seen 706 rape cases which are way
lesser than Madhya Pradesh. It only means that the Madhya Pradesh Police needs
to be more meticulous in their dealings.
3. Only in city Delhi, there were 585 cases of rape in the year
2012. It is high in terms of city and I am wondering that Police of Delhi
claims to be efficient but where is there productivity in the rape cases? Solving
is not everything; the real victory of judiciary system will be when rape can
be vetoed.
4. In the year 2012, total numbers of rape cases filed in the
country were 38143.
5. Positive thing is that none of the cases were withdrawn by
the government. This shows the seriousness of the officials to give justice.
6. Surprisingly, 1833 cases were counterfeit which has not gone
unnoticed by judiciary system. Measures have been taken by Indian Judiciary
system that no one should get convicted under false cases.
7. Sad thing is that our judiciary system is not fast enough.
From the year 2012, 13695 cases are still pending.
8. The rate of charge sheet is 100 % implying the change of
attitude of the local police and taking such cases seriously. Unlike, Phoolan
Devi, where she was raped by Police officials only. Sad, isn’t it?
9. Now, the question is not about 2012, the question is how
many cases are under trial all over the country? The answer is 1.01 Lakhs of
cases are under trial, among which 86040 cases are under the status of pending.
That is shocking stats which is not showing the progress.
The above pie chart shows that how safe our child is! Most
of the rape crimes are unswerving against the girl who is in the age group of
14 to 18 Years of age. It is surprising that, if we sum up, than most of the
rape crimes the victim are girls of an age less than 18 years old. Adults are comparatively
safer in this country.
Couple of days back, an IAS serving in Bangalore, got
arrested on the charges of Child Porn. If the bureaucrats will be indulged in
such crimes then we can’t imagine the safety of our children. The educated and
uneducated both are indulged in this crime. Girls at a younger age are easy
targets for people having bad intentions. These days even parents are taking
all the precautions to safeguard their child.
In ancient times, Spartans used to respect their women
because they are the one who used to give birth to the child who becomes a Spartan
and defend the country from foreign enemies. We need that Spartan culture in
our country too. Women are an asset, she not only manages your family but she
is the one who supports the family in the bad times. God has made male and
female so that our species can survive. But if we start raping girl child and destroying
their life, then as a nation we don’t deserve to have a future.
Let us become Spartans and pay
due respect to the women who is a child, lover, wife or mother of someone. Let us
protect our future by protecting our women.
