Delhi - A Woman's Nightmare

More than 500 rapes (reported) in our so-called capital city in 2012. Where is our country heading to? Sexual assault, domestic violence, eve teasing, torture, what else should we women go through? What do these assholes have in their minds when they put women through such gruesome torture? If going out in the night after 8:00 PM means I am not coming back in one piece, then I do not want to go out at all! If despite such gruesome act the criminals are acquitted, then why is there even a law in our country? If that innocent girl would not have boarded that bus, some other girl might have. It could have been anyone. Someone as young as 16 or as old as 30. It could have been anyone. That very thought scares the hell out of me.



What possibly could be a rapist's state of mind? Do they enjoy it? Do they like it when a woman begs for mercy? Do they feel it's their birth right to sexually assault any woman they want? Where do they get such courage from? We all know the answer. It lies in our weak law and order. The endless court trials which eventually bury the truth and silence the victim. The doubt on a woman's character when she screams out loud that she was raped. The questions and humiliation she is subjected to by the police as if they doubt her statements.  The poor male-female sex ratio. When a woman is raped, there is every possibility that she won't be accepted in the society with the same dignity she held earlier. Why is that not the case with the rapists? Why ain't they looked down upon?



Will the rapists get away without being punished like always? If they are indeed punished, will it be just jail for a few years? Is 7 years of jail the enough for a crime as grave as rape?

If a woman is this unsafe in our country's capital, then I dare not ever put my foot there. I always knew Delhi is unsafe for women but I never heard of such a gruesome incident before. High in crime rate especially against women, why doesn't the police ensure maximum security is provided? Crimes happen in Delhi even in broad daylight and go unnoticed. Lewd comments are passed on the fairer sex in public transports like buses and people keep quiet. It's said that "Dilli dilwalon ka shehar hai". Sahi mein?

Delhi indeed is India's Rape Capital in true sense!

  1. This is true... Women is unsafe now a days.... men are really becoming cruel and torturing women... men are really jerks
    with horns on their head feel like women is a thing to play with
    and govt will ofcourse be negligent as it also has most of men... Govt has to take some serious action on this... otherwise women not only after 8 pm, In the daytime also they will not step out of house... it is becoming so unsafe!!!

  2. Its just not about Delhi.. I just hate every such place where women is assaulted..where she is harrassed..Apart from the fear of govt punishment.. i think its a duty of every mother to teach her son first thing to respect women before he could even start talking..its starts from home where women themselves allow men to rule over them and that brings out such horrible results.. i dont mean we should not respect men but no to a level where they start disrespecting women

  3. I totally agree with ^Pooja.

    But lets face reality for a moment. Some people just don't change inspite of whatever we do to prevent them from doing. We keep telling 'Respect Women', but some people just take advantage.
    Changing that thinking of a man is a difficult process.
    And For sure, The World is coming to an end. :(

    1. True Ajay. It's real difficult to change the mentality of men. Only if our law was strong enough, we wouldn't have witnessed such an inhuman act.

      End of humanity. End of World.

  4. All men are animals inside. It's only self-control and conscience that separates humans from beasts...alas, this fine line does not exist in some men. For some reason its more rampant in the Northern region.

    1. The poor sex ratio, the bad upbringing (the uneducated class) are reasons for this being so rampant in the Northern region. If this has to change, the men-women sex ratio should improve which is unlikely.

    2. Only the uneducated class? No lady...sadly, it thrives in the so-called educated society as well.

    3. It does but it's predominant in the uneducated class where women are treated as mere sex toys and nothing else. I've noticed that the Delhi uneducated men can't handle a woman's independence. They can't digest women going to night clubs, wearing what they like, speaking their mind and working for a living. That's because of the kind of atmosphere they are brought up in.
