Waiting For Aloo -Pyaaz

It is easier getting aloo – pyaaz and even matar in this country of devis. I have been waiting for justice since the turn of the century but what I witness is a warped sense of justice, delay and procrastinations by the best of them. This is a flashback like the Hindi movies, you know the good ol times when they had those rewind scenes where one would see why the heroine died after falling in love with the rich landlords son but is raped by the villain.

There that is the key word’ the rape ‘. I have said it loud. We witness it everyday in every form but have become so desensitized that we are just not affected. A woman is against her wishes; mind you however she is dressed at whatever hour of the day, even if she eats chow Mein has all the right to say NO.

She is physically overpowered, raped by a monster systematically, subjected to infliction of pain, of penetration by foreign objects with an attempt to kill and we still debate what should be the course of action.

Please, commissions, protests are done and made and what do we do, we debate. Are we a nation in permanent slumber? Countless girls are raped, shocking statistics point out that one in three men rape. Wah! Wah! No wonder we support the MNC’s of the world eating fast food thus men are not guilty because they didn’t have the animal instinct but eating fast food made them the way they are.

We talk, debate and we think it is a big thing that they have been proven guilty with an intent to kill. My dear Indians, what more proof do you need that they were invading her, raping her to kill? Or, did you think they were raping with the intent of being nice and careful.

What does not get in your head?

You know those pilgrimages you make to exonerate yourself from sin to go to heaven, no use till your voice in not heard. They needed the death penalty immediately minus any plea- bargains.

Please, do not politicize. This is the last chance for us to resurrect ourselves like the phoenix…

A troubled soul of all countless women
