I must say this at the outset.I love delhi.In three weeks from now,I`ll leave the city for atleast 2 years.I will cherish most things about the city..but there are things about the city which make me hang my head in shame....
two gangrapes in three days...delhi is increasingly becoming a very unsafe place for women.The latest incident took place in one of Delhi`s high security areas.It irks me.Its a shame ....but what makes me write this article is an off the cuff remark made by a gentleman which I unintentionally overheard while I was jogging..."What were the girls doing on the road so late in the night..Its their fault"....he said.....what on earth does it show about the attitude of people.Just because a person happens to be of the fairer sex...how can u expect her not to venture out is she wants to....add to that the RSS statement after the Marine Drive rape case that women are encouraging rapes by wearing "revealing" clothes....oh come on...get a life.We are supposed to be a god fearing country with perhaps more goddesses than gods.
Suhas,I agree, Capital Punishment for Rapists the world over !....And if its child rape, his balls must be cooked in olive (jus that I hate olives) and he must be forced to eat before being killed !
