We are hitting on the wrong side...

This time i am starting with touching the most pathetic and saddest part of the curse we were talking about. Human trafficking has become a business for some people these days. They aren't worried a bit about the people they are selling what they know is the fact that it will add to their present income.
 Most of the customers buy them for making them beggars, selling their body parts, indulge them in prostitution or for cheap-labor. When I say prostitution, its not the business you are very familiar about- one of the easiest way to earn money, its about bearing a heavy pain to satisfy the unmanly desires of some beasts. Its unmanly because no human can treat any living being like they treat 3-4 aged gals/boys. They think since they have spent money on them they can use those kids whichever way they wish, so those kids are just not used simply for sex desires, sometimes chilly powder is put inside their sex organs, they are used so badly for sex that even their intestines come out of their body, or they are beaten like hell and they seek pleasure in these acts. One may even need a strong heart to read or imagine this what these people are doing.
 It really frightens me that people have gone so blind in fulfilling their desires that they aren't concerned a bit about other's feelings or might not even consider them as humans.

 In feedback to the last post, people suggested that rapists must be hanged till death for what they have done. Now talking about the typical case discussed above, shouldn't those traders, those parents be equally guilty ? Can you catch them all when it has been established as a business in the society silently ?
 If someone is favor of the parents, then i must say its like a case that- guy 'A' pushed guy 'B' in front of a running train. Now catch only train not the guy who pushed.

 In such a society where police has information about which thief is working in which area, how this dirty business has been established? And even if it has been established how they are carrying it so far ?
This is a question to be raised among us.

Moving on to the next level, from private to the public. Recently, there was a case in Guwahati on july 9, a 20 year gal was pull out of an auto-rickshaw. She was molested on the busy Guwahati-Shillong road. It was a group of 17 or more people, they even tried to strip her. This shameful act, surprisingly, went for 45 minutes till a senior journalist and a police officer came to rescue her. People watched the show and a television reporter recorded the whole incident which was later released on internet. That gal sustained many burn-injuries from cigarettes. Even after 10 days, only 12 of the 17 identified from video were arrested.
  This is one face of our society where if you start talking every one is a leader, will love to criticize things going around and is also a great philosopher deep inside but when it comes to do something rarely you can see a performer. We have been in habit of being audience and hoping for a superhero to come and fight against all evils. Alas! this is not a movie. Nor even we are so lucky to have a Mahatma born everyday.

 These are the cases where we can see the culprit, but these days many incidents can be reported where gals are molested and sexually assaulted within their homes - by driver,teacher or any relative.
      Now what? whom to hang when half of the world is dirty ?
Its like One is a gentleman till he isn't caught.

So, this problem can't be solved only by enacting laws. Firstly, about what we should be more considerate is victims.
 Why we look over this crime as it has ruined someone's complete life ?
 Why can't her life be same as before again ?
 Why she is thinking for suicide after that incident ?
 Why she has dropped off all her dreams after that incident ?

Look around ourselves, answer is us, the society. That guy raped or sexually assaulted her once, memories of which may pass off with time but we are making them to live inside her.

 She is embarrassed because she has been used like a dustbin and she can't even report to police because all the respect and reputation of her family will be washed-off by that single report.
 She is embarrassed because a few days earlier she was a brave child of her parents, now everyone is just showing sympathy with her. Shouldn't people just encourage her to fight against rather than making her more miserable.
 If she files a report, accused will be questioned is he is caught but she will be questioned at every step. She has to prove in court how it was a rape. Even sometimes accused are released on the grounds that the victim doesn't have any injuries.
 Sometimes best solutions of our great society lies in marrying the victim and accused. Really ? Can a gal imagine a rapist to be her husband ?
 If a gal, somehow, against all odds decides to give birth to the child she will not be allowed to live as she will have to answer for the child's father every now and then in our male-dominant society.
 We are hitting on the wrong side, we are questioning the wrong person. Why aren't we understanding  this simple thing ? Why are we making victims more miserable ?

 People are expecting for some real hard laws to be enacted, NGOs to rescue the victims. But folks, laws will just imprison or kill the animals of today, NGOs can have very limited range. What about the rapists, criminals breeding today among us ? Maybe they can tackle your laws when you are highly qualified lawyers working just for money, judges craving for money. Maybe NGOs will get so less in number that their existence will not matter much.

  So, what must be done? In order to find answer for this we must find answer for- why are we in this situation?
  A lot has been left to discuss, see you again with some more thoughts. Share your views regarding the post and if you have any solution for this situation, you are most welcome.

 Once again thanks for sharing my thoughts.

  1. You know, now I'm fed up after writing a blog http://deteacorner.com/were-there-only-20-people/ you might be interested in reading.

    Actually most of the readers share the same thought as we do in our posts but point is, how are we implementing our thoughts in real life? Why can't we clean our society? Reading and writing such views is good and its good to share these thoughts but these should reflect in our actions. I don't know and won't care what others will do but as an individual I'll not let these things happen in my presence.

    I hope people get the right message that they are the only one who can make this society a safe place to live.
    I've same thoughts for both of your posts, its good of you to right in a flow completely putting your points. All the very best!

  2. I want to say that these truths about our society are brainstorming...and awful...now this is the society loggerheads to which great people,guardians of our nations used to dream about as 'where the mind is without fear and head is held high'...
    but what to do...at least our bit??
    yes this is we can do for sure...not withstanding to any situation for which or conscience does'nt feels at peace.
    every gal and boy,any man or woman...everyone can do something by just not being naive and caring...bothering a little about the place we live in and hence responsible for...

  3. Once again, a great message-oriented blog by Vishwas. What I think and most of the people said already but let me put it this way: we should not wait for a problem to come to us before approaching to solve it. What we generally do is think "this is not my problem." and even worse enjoys other's sufferings.

    As Vishwas gave a very emphatic view that we are hitting wrong side. Clearly, this is the very reason some problems like this one have reached to this level. Instead of backing the victim, we either desert him/her or escalates their fear by our actions to them.

    One more problem is that we tend to follow others, especially when they are on wrong side. Why can't we go against the wind and fight for the truth.

    Once again as Vishwas said, we need to kill the evil to solve the problem, not just the guilty. Finally, we need to improve ourself, instead of sombody reminding us what to do. Know that society doesn't exclude you. We need to break all self-imposed unnecessary shackles of caste, religion, region, nation and whatsoever and try to be a human and the core virtue of humanity is not dominance, it's caring for others. Believe me real happiness lies in making someone happy without hurting others.
    Thanks for listening.
