Face
burnt due to acid, face burnt due to fire.. What was their mistake? They were
too beautiful. They failed to bring huge dowry. They tried to fight against
cruelty, harassment, sexual molestation and crime. Is it this? And what
happened to their culprits? Were they imprisoned? Were they hanged to death? Were
they burnt like those innocent girls? no. they are living freely, happily without
any pain and tension. But why? Have they done something for which they should
be awarded? Have they done a good job? Then why they are living happily and
those innocent girls are suffering pain and fear? Why they are forced to be a
prisoner in their own house. Why they are not accepted by the world when it was
not their mistake? Have they done any sin in their previous birth? Hey do you
really believe in more than one birth?
"I
fought for 9 years. Now I am tired. I wanted to be a police officer and serve
our nation. some mad boys used to tease me whenever they got chance. A boy
forced me to marry him. I denied. They (group of 4-5 boys) used to harass me
every time they got chance. I told my parents. they asked me to keep quiet and sit
at home. Now I was not allowed to go outside my house. I was imprisoned in my
own house. But was I still safe? No. One night I was sleeping with my family on
terrace of my house. They all silently entered my terrace and threw almost one
litre of strong acid on my face and body. I could not do anything other than
screaming in pain and they ran away. And they were laughing. I could hear them.
Today this world is not accepting me. Maybe I am not like them. I am not
beautiful like them today. India is a democratic country. Democracy is of the
people, by the people and for the people. But this so called democratic country
and countrymen did nothing for me. Maybe
I no more come in the category of people now. I can't take police's help
because I don’t trust them. I can't go to hospital for treatment because it
will cost nearly 20 lakhs. I don’t have even 200 rupees in my pocket. My
culprits got imprisonment for 9 years only and got bail just after 4-5 months. Now
I want to die. I have no other option. Suicide is my right now. If suicide is a
crime then I am ready to do this crime. I think I deserve this".
This
was said by a girl who was a severe victim of acid attack. she was unable to
see, hear or speak properly after the attack. A hospital even offered her free
treatment but still there was an expenditure of nearly 10 lakhs. She was
helpless.
An
incident happened in Europe. A European shot an Indian student in full
consciousness. The judiciary system there gave him imprisonment for 30 years. They
said such people are very dangerous for the society. Then what happens in India.
Are these acid attackers not dangerous? Why in India the victims are punished
and the criminals are roaming freely? Why it takes unlimited time to finish a
case still the culprits do not get the deserving punishment? Why don’t
government take strict steps against this? These questions are still
unanswered………..
