We read newspapers almost every day, and confront some of the other rape cases and incidents as well. But can anyone tell me that how long we think over it, or how seriously we feel the pain of that woman who was being raped? I guess the answer is NO. Because half of the newspaper readers are interested in political news, some are there for sports news and entertain news. But hardly people pay attention to these sad news. Personally speaking, when I read the rape cases in newspapers, I feel terribly sorry for those who faced this situation and feel the pain of being born as woman.
In Indian society, people say that women are the blissful creature on earth who is blessed with the power supremacy of bringing a life on this earth. Basically, what we teach to those young ones? Do we talk about their career growth, education, priorities in life; or we just let them also read these horrendous rape cases in the newspapers every day.
Today, again I read about the pathetic incident of Aruna Shanbaug, a Mumbaikar nurse who was brutally raped in the year 1973. Since, that time she is lying in the bed like a vegetative piece of bones & flesh. She was a nurse in a government run hospital, and on 27th November a contract sweeper man named Sohanlal B. Walmiki raped her while she was finishing her duty. He tied her throat with an iron chain, and that chocked her throat and directly stopped the supply of oxygen towards her brain. Along with this her brain stem and cervical chord became useless since that day.
As she is lying in the death bed for the last almost 42 years (which makes her world's oldest comatose patient) given birth to many serious questions. The man who raped her is now living somewhat an idyllic life. He was punished for just 7 years for assaulting Aruna and trying to rob her. If he was trying to rob her and assaulted her, then why he oppressed her like this. What kind of happiness he achieved after raping her? She lived a painful life lying in the bed for almost 42 years and lost her family members as well. Now before her death she wished for her final rights to be done by any of her acquaintances who wants to claim her body. She lost her family members as well in these 42 years. No one was there beside her when she breathed her last.
My simple question is for this society is where is the humankind? Are we born as human beings to rape women, and make their life miserable. What is the happiness rapists get by committing such heinous crimes? When this society will learn to behave like a civilized society? When these devil like men will understand the importance of women? When will they understand the balance of the society and responsibilities towards the human race? We women are not made to give birth to your (men) progeny by using your sperms. Never think that by donating your sperm to my womb, you are creating something great or contributing something huge to this society. If you cannot respect a woman, then please don't play with her. Try to make her feel special and give respect to her. Raping a woman, can be a rape on your mother and sister as well. You are also born out of your mother only. So please think like a real man and try to behave like a civilized one.
