A blog from my side on 's painful death.on what Conflicts in human behavior and mind can lead to.
Thanks Aruna you Died
Aruna Shanbaug’s death gave me a reason to thank god. I thanked him for ending her years of pain, I thanked God that there would hopefully be no more hell for her, for we gave her enough and the other world will be secure and peaceful for her. I could not look into my eyes because even after what happened to her still today we cannot say our mothers and daughters are safe. The truth is only when I came across Aruna Shanbaug’s r**e i came to know what is; our fractured, rusty system neither could give her fair trial nor could give her life a peaceful end. Euthanasia in a country like ours would remain controversial for years but what wrong had she done to live a life in vegetative state for forty-two long years.
It is an irony that her perpetrator was never accused of r**e but assault and robbery and is Scot free serving somewhere else, with a changed identity and dormant guilt. While a state government agency BMC could plan to free her bed hats off to the nurses of KEM who put up three decades of selfless dedication to take care of their colleague.Shanbaug was subjected to such apathy years back but after that every passing minute in this country ensured that we made life hell for women in this country. Whether it is “Nirbhaya” or r**e of journalist in Mumbai mills the wolves were always out there for the hunt. Can we really answer ourselves that why the convict later could not be traced was because the court trying him did not have his photo. May be its the lack of will to take a crime like r**e and punish the criminal that such incidents crop up time and again and each time they do they are more ghastly then ever before.
I think we need to set the system right before its too late, call a spade a spade if the system has cracks don’t close the eyes. We are a part of such a system and instead of blame & accusations lets work together to make this country a place where women is not prey and men are not hound dogs
