Kerala is a
state whose fame had always enjoyed ethnicity, variety of culture and its
cleanliness. Literacy is also something not to be ignored. But unfortunately a spurious
event grounded on the soils of the state which proved not only to turn out a
doom to the culture and heritage of Kerala but also an indirect tight slap to
the Indian ethic and its diversity of which India has always proud been of.
It is not
very uncommon or unknown to us the rape cases or murder charges or something
like dowry and girl child abuse in India. Infact these are the very obscure
phenomenon eventuating among the backward or underdeveloped parts of our society.
Now one fine morning, while we read a newspaper assisting ourself with a cup of
tea and we come across a headline stating news reporting about a teenage girl
being raped continuously for two years in a state like Kerala, it will surely
hit our nerves. Now that’s not all! This will take someone beyond petrifaction
if the report states that the teenager was raped not by her boyfriend, enemy or
a stranger but some earthlings whom she called father and brother. On a serious
note, even if a pinch of humanity abides in someone, this news will admittedly
rip their conscience apart. Kerala had always been recognized as the “Cleanest
state of India”. A state which not only disdained terrorism but also maintained
its purity and greenery shouldn’t have surpassed this kind of immorality. A
similar case was reported earlier in Kerala in Kannur district as well. The
sole anomaly between the two incidents was that in the Kottayam case, the
mother was the one who reported to the police but in the Kannur case the mother
didn’t support the daughter. According to IPC act 375, a seven year
imprisonment should be imposed to criminals who commit rape. This goes for a
human being, not animals. Those insane animals should be fiercely gunned down
as they similarise pet animals turning insane. It really appalls me to see the
level of sex hunger among some immatured dissipated males in this country. They
turn out to be so blind that they shut their consciousness and senses to every
heights of fallaciousness. Its almost beyond our normal cognition to even feel
as to what condition and state has the girl gone through. Torture torture and
torture for 2 years. No one to complain just because she is a girl. If she
complains against her father and brother, its she herself who would be pointed
out to be a whore. Kerala is the only state in India where the female members
are more than that of the male members as the ratio goes like 923 men per 1000
women. Even after this strength of women why was the poor girl suffering for
two consecutive years? Even after having the highest literacy rate in the
country why such an incident occurred which even illiterates would keep them
away from?
In order to
embellish the dual queries, the point that I would like to accomplish as the
centre of gravity is that education enough is not at all the solution of all
problems. We live in a country where poor people starve to get educated and
some people die because of education (pressure). Now some of you might perceive
that the next sentence of mine would be, “Proper education is what the citizens’
devoir”. Being very modest, I wont ignore that but even proper education isn’t
abundant to get rid of these circumstances. It’s the self consciousness that
lacks among these people. Education, even proper education wont eradicate this
can of worms. There should be certain principles and moral values that someone
should follow. Self control is something that every individual should have
aquittance to. We can’t have a broad discussion on this affair as we can’t
obstruct secretion of hormones but we can refrain ourselves in the boundaries
of ethics and principles. People who can’t, needs an exigency psychiatric
treatement. Heading on to the first
question, now this is something serious to consider!
Now on a
serious note, Kerala has a higher number of females than men. In no manner I am
trying to prove a fact that having more females in a state can restrict rape
cases but the women can be strong enough to fight against the injustice done to
them. Why was the teenage girl quite? Why didn’t she raise her voice? Being
very modest and unbiased, the true fact is already something begrime has
happened to her. Now if she doesn’t raise her voice, the sequence wont stop.
But if she raised her voice, something worse could have been prevented for
occurring. The true fact to observe here is women are too worried about their
prestige and self respect that they agitate in speaking anything against
injustice done to them. Its really a high time for women to understand that if
they don’t speak up, they will always remain suppressed. You don’t speak up,
you are not heard. Women power is something that cant even be imagined as to
how strong they can be. But you need the will to work it out in a right manner.
If women start stepping up, the topmost stair isn’t far away, if they start
backing up, they get unnoticed.
