Previously, 2012, those heart about a whole country might have been shook Eventually Tom's perusing those ruthless pack assault of a 23-year-old lady in the national capital, the city that might have been as of now getting Ubiquity as those ‘rape capital of the country’. The lady inevitably succumbed with her wounds Also died, Not long following continuously airlifted with singapore Previously, An frantic endeavor should save her life, since those universe might have been officially viewing us.
The media, and the country all things considered chose on dedicate this lady Concerning illustration ‘Nirbhaya’, which interprets to courageous. People have continually avoided utilizing the sufferer’s true name a result our the public arena invites a sure sort of scorn At it hails on naming assault victimized people.
Bring been measuring each assault with the ‘Nirbhaya’ yardstick, choose on the level from claiming ruthlessness of the wrongdoing. Laws were amended, there were challenges and flame walks for those particular nation What's more just sooner this month, those summit court of the country upheld the capital punishment provided for with four of the six denounced (one might have been An adolescent Also particular case dedicated suicide aerial attacker same time Previously, prison), calling it a ‘rarest of rare’ situation.
(she was a Layer by profession)
Let’s talk about the recent Rohtak gang rape. It did make to the headlines for a couple of days after it surfaced, but how many candle light marches and protests can you recall, demanding action against the perpetrators? How many of us followed up on this case, after very conveniently calling the victim ‘the other Nirbhaya’, and, forgetting it? For those who may not know, the post mortem reports suggested that her skull was shattered, rapists inserted sharp objects into her vagina, smashed bricks on her face and ran over her to make her unidentifiable. All this, because one jilted lover could not live with being rejected by a girl.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that after the girl was found raped and murdered and a case was registered, her family mentioned that a police complaint was lodged against the main suspect, on grounds of harassment, but no action was taken because, harassment of varying sorts are everyday stories and do not validate enough action unless a grave situation arises.
Digging a little deeper, the Jisha rape and murder case should have also not been forgotten, except that it was.
Jisha was a 29-year-old law student from Kerala who was found murdered at her house, her body mutilated. Forensic reports suggested she was stabbed multiple times in her chest and could have been possible tortured before the murder. A couple of months later, an Assamese labourer was arrested for the crime. He admitted to raping and murdering Jisha without much ado but, a year later, there has been no sentencing. Very recently, the Anti-Corruption Bureau has suggested ‘serious lapses’ in the probe and needless to say, most people have already erased the incident from their memory.
Year after year, annual reports of the Human Rights Watch talk of issues like dwindling sex ratio in the country, guidelines that don’t comply with WHO standards when it comes to dealing with sexual assault victims, lack of amenities for survivors, restriction of women’s mobility and rights etc, and yet, here we are, in 21st century, refusing to call a woman by her real name because she was raped and a rape victim should never be named so as to avoid victim-shaming.
In a country that still fails to recognise the existence of something called ‘marital rape’ and the country that has seen an Aruna Shanbaug, and the rapes in Poshopora in its past, if these incidents don’t shake you yet, what will?
