Candles are lit near the India gate. Many mourn for one’s
death. Many are fighting for justice. There are many protesters holding
placards asking for stronger legal enforcement and others to give capital punishment
for crime against women. News channels are having these protesters as an appetite
for a real big time and churning money out of them by conducting debates and
having question and answer sessions which is known to every individual across
the nation. Few news channels have given tag names to the victim who was the
reason behind the protest across the National Capital, such as “Nation’s
Daughter”. I really don’t know what is actually happening.
When the victim was taken to Singapore for medical
treatment, every politician tried to politicize the matter and tried to gain some
leverage for their party. What a shame? It is like stealing from a house which
is ablaze. Again, coming back to these protesters all I am going to question
them is where is their protest headed towards? Is it having any goal, if at all
it had one? If something bad happens or
if someone calls out for a protest, everyone gather at Jantar Mantar, and then
shout slogans against the Government. Few of them will get arrested and a
handful amongst them will again get cheap publicity for some of their
thoughtless behavior in front of media and finally everybody will mind their
business waiting for another opportunity to protest.
Every Indian can proudly write in their resume that “protesting” is their extra-curricular activity or hobby.
In a day or two, all these people who were protesting are
going to happily welcome 2013 by celebrating New Year. This victim is dead and
gone and she is now considered as equivalent as a freedom fighter and is conveniently
forgotten by people – a history.
The main reason behind this forgetfulness attitude or
selective amnesia of Indians is the Indian media. They come out with news of
their whims and fancies at times, which is known to everyone. They do so
because people have started liking that kind of news and all these channels
have cleverly done their homework by reading the pulse of Indian Television
viewers. Some of the news broadcasted will not be of much importance at all,
but still they have made these monotonous people to watch them and get used to
it thereby making whatever junk news or spams they show as a part of our lives.
Indian media does not have any ethics, or if they are having one, it must be
unfit for them.
To conclude in this case, the issue will be politicized as
usual and these incidents shall continue because most of the culprits are
already know to the police or a name sake law shall be enacted for consoling
the protesters which will be highly inaccessible in a country where law takes
its course of action in different pace for different people.
Happy (Bloody) New Year to all those who cheat themselves!!
