Is Judicial Process only Way-out for Curbing Women’s Nightmare?
Posted : March 28, 2006 at 11:01 am [IST]
Mohanty himself a student is a son of influential IPS in officer in Orissa. A German student has accused him for raping her. Mohanty has been nabbed and in lockup. Does this news or news of Katara’s murder shock you? Can our legal process find an effective means to curb these heinous crimes?
Why can’t the parents disown their sons if they are the accused? Do they want to compensate for the negligence they showed in bringing up their sons? Are they afraid of their sons who again might have become more powerful? What happens if it happens with their own daughter? Why can’t they go to the victim and try to console her and convince her that they with her? Am I asking a little more? Can we show our affection only by protecting or supporting and thereby encouraging a wrong action of our children?
And what should the friends and the community nearest to the accused do? Why can’t they disown the culprit?
It is shocking. As reported, the German girl is getting psychologically pressurizing SMSs in name of the relatives of Mohanty. What a poor use of the latest technology!
I remember in our villages in good old days even if one member of family used to do some wrong, the community use to distance itself from the family. It used to make marriages of the children of that family difficult. That might be a little more. It must remain restricted to individual involved in the crime. But the presently, the accused instead of feeling guilty and sorry for the incident tries to boast of their manliness, and so do his friends and other family members to show their status. This is showing the degradation of the values in individuals and weakness of the community that encourages and practices double standards.
Perhaps along with the legal processes, the social restriction must also come against the culprit. If the whole of the country can go for getting the culprit in Jessica Lal case punished, why can’t we in general including the family and friends of the culprit join in this to stop the ills of the society and the country? Can any one from Orissa take pride in Mohanty? Why can’t the whole Orissa disown Mohanty and apologise to the German girl who is our Atithi, and every day we hear ‘Atithi Devo Vav’.
