I had received a mail, purported to contain what the poor girl had talked to her mother. Also when lots of talk go on regarding the name and identity of the girl , everything is openly brought out in the social media. When I wrote a true story on a man raping his child and later committing suicide, I remember ,being advised against writing such things. well, everyone is entitled to his own opinion.but as sane people it is for us to remove the chaff, and use only the good ones.

There are countless deaths and suicides due to this menace across the length and breadth of the country.But Damini's death in ghastly circumstances created a national awareness to this scourge.Out of all the inane responses as solutions,I hope the powers that be dispense deterrent punishment speedily without fear or favour within a time frame.At the same time they should empower the women politically,
economically, academically and socially.

Very sad. Very very sad.
The fundamental issue here could the attitude towards, and perception of, female as a gender. It has taken thousand years or more to even recognize that women deserve some social and personal respect - even in so called 'civilized' side of the world the concept of some respect, not equal respect, has not rooted yet. I watched a program on TV where women were discussing women's rights - it was disgusting to hear women deride themselves, blaming younger generation for the recent mess. Our darned culture still teaches and expects women to be submissive - that needs to stop. But as long as we believe in religion and god, it wont. The reason is as obvious as it is subtle.

Enjoyed reading the post. Very well written.
