the ruchika story : as society degrades

as the media gets all worked up and ignites the fight against a person who requires not an iota of sympathy or remorse we as a society have to take stock at the situation. we have to realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg , there are thousands of instances in which people suffer unjustly. there is something degrading the very quality of life in the society. one may say there is this nexus between politicians and the judicial system and the common man is helpless. but i ask why is there a nexus ? i ask why do the politicians and the police want to collude .. for serving their own corrupt, selfish ends. but why , why do we let such people in the first place ? why do we as citizens and we do call ourselves responsible allow such people to hold posts which are so crucial for the running of the goverment which impacts every single man in india. as i say there is this new CM being elected in one of the states , who has this history of corruption and a tainted reputation ? what can the people of the state expect from such a man ... how do we have a right to ask for justice when we are the ones who send them to become the chief minister. how is a man who himself has no respect for the law , has done deeds that are condonable .. how do we expect that man to treat his people right , to serve fair and right .. wont he be surrounded and surround himself with people of such nature ? we need to think and think deeper.
a quick analogy , in all the schools that i have studied and in every class i have always heard that the class representative or the class monitor is the guy who generally tops the class and is honest and sincere in his work. never do teachers pick out the guy in the class who scores the least and gives excuses / insincere in class. so when we are given the power to elect representatives for us , in real life we elect ..........................
coming back to the case i wonder , how come there is even a doubt that the guy in question is not put behind bars immediately. apparently i think the case for molestation has been proved , so why is there even a question mark on what to do with him , shouldnt he be immediately put behind bars. whats the inquiry , the special teams and the new FIRs hullabulla in all this. this again talks about the incompetence or rather the abetting of the criminals in our country. i think about his wife as a woman how does she without remorse actually support him through all this ? how come his daughter who studied in the same school not talk against her father .. no one is perfect , even if its ones mother or father or child. a crime is a crime and one needs to be unbiased.
we as a society should also realize our responsibility , what we are having right now is a quick fix solution. it happened in the jessica lal case , maybe some other case in the media in which justice was served , then ruchika ... but if we dont address the root cause it will keep happening. and the media will keep having a field day investigating the case, the people of india will be appalled and become suddenly all moral about it ... when we are the people who actually sent rathore to that post. justice needs to be served immediately , 19 years is long enough .. but we also need to serve justice to ourselves , isnt 60 years long enough ?
