Who is responsible for the incident which took place
in Nirbaya's life?
As everyone thinks that people who are involved in
the gangrape are only responsible.If it is the case , we are looking at only the
smaller picture, we should try to focus on the the roots of the problem which
led to this kind of incident. I have done some research on this issue.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape
cases were reported across India in 2012. Out of 24,923 cases, Nirbaya's is one
among those.There are many other cases which went unreported. But her incident
alone sparked a big outraged and resulted in public agitation in 2012. I would
say that all these incidents happen because of lack of education, lack of
awareness and most importantly unequal opportunity provided to the wide strata
of our society. Most of the heinous crimes are not commited by well educated people but by someone who is from low income group or who are
deprived of basic education. It is said that India's per capita income is
5350(US dollars). Does it mean on an average every Indian citizen earns that
much money? No,not at all. These numbers shows the gap between the rich and the
poor. It is said that India’s richest 10 per cent holds 370 times the share of
wealth that it’s poorest hold. This shows how rich dominate poor. This figure
shows how much is the poor people deprived of equal opportunities in our
country .By saying this i am not accusing rich people alone.If this kind of
situation prevails, I don't think any kind of heinous crimes be prevented. It
will keep erupting until we find any concrete solutions for the upliftment of
the poor.Without addressing this, no kind of juvenile bill will help solve the
problem. Our elected representative should realise the need for the whole set
of reforms.
This is our collective responsibility as a citizen of
our country to share this shortcomings and resolve it. So, there is no point in
blaming the people who are carved out of the society in which we are also a part
of and which made them commit these crimes. We youths should raise our voice atleast now before it becomes too late.
Let us be the change that we want to see in the world.
