Hello All, once again Delhi is on International Media radar for wrong reasons....this time the victim is five year old kid from a poor family. It is outrageous and needs to be condemned at all level. Such brutal behaviour can't be accepted in a civil society. The perpetrator has to be handled with iron hand. The message must go to such cruel mentally sick people that such behaviour is no more tolerated and will lead to harshest punishment.
On viewing media reports and discussions on televisions, I feel disturbed by the apathy/insensitivity of Delhi Police personnel. At the same time, I would like to throw some light on the insensitivity of society as well. When a person was crying on the road with his wife and two kids after the accident, no body came to help them. Where is the society or so called social activist gone at that time. Only administration can't handle vast country like us alone. There has to be participation from all stake holders. Besides, when we blame on Police personnel, no doubt Police is very insensitive and cruel. They generally don't reciprocate to the common people. They are majorly engaged in VIP security and their concern. Though, the behaviour of SHO,IO or ACP is not at all at per mark, they are public servant and needs to understand and sense the public anger and behave accordingly. The public outrage is mainly due to their post rape reaction. They would have acted swiftly and saved the situation. It seems that they haven't learn any thing from the past accident.
Along with it, Government must understand the plight of Police. It is quite unfair to expect much from overstressed,understaffed,under paid,under trained,poorly equipped police force. There is a crying need to upgrade the police manual and overhaul the police forces by infusing new and Young blood in sufficient numbers at all levels. Periodic training must be provided at all levels specially in the field of crowd management, sensitisation and need of the new world order and changing society. Delhi police personnel are working overtime to secure the city but there is human limitation. Public Police ratio must improve and should be at par with world standard. This will create new employment opportunity for the educated youths as well.
Besides, society must also learn to respond to such situation collectively. These criminal elements are part of the society. There should be collective reaction against such sick people. Social ostracizing can be such effective method along with mass education regarding gender sensitivity. The sexual frustration needs to be tackled particularly of poor labour class,rickshaw puller community,daily wage labourers who are living away from their family. PURA [providing urban amenities in rural areas] concept needs to be implemented as early as possible so that rural urban migration can be tackled and such job oriented family breakup must be avoided. Since, Indian labour is largely working as an unorganised force. There should be concerted effort from the government as well as from society to organise the labour sector. Once, labour sector is organised, the wages will improve and so the life standards of these labourers. Then, this class can afford their families to live together. This will definitely reduce such incidence of cruel outburst of sexual frustration.
Merely pointing fingers on Police force will never change the scenario. The don't have magic wands to change the mind of common person but definitely they can improve their response post such incident. Perception matters a lot. In emergency situations, even if someone is not able to do anything but a feeling or perception that right efforts are being made can change the whole scenario....At last ,I pray for that unfortunate small kid and wish for her speedy recovery... keeps on Blogging..
