Should we trust the judiciary system for justice? Those men failed!. While the entire world is fighting the pandemic four upper-class men gang-raped a 19-year-old Dalit girl from Uttar Pradesh who was battling for her life at a Delhi hospital. She was brutally injured. She was left paralyzed after her tongue was cut-off and her spinal cord was crushed. The woman died nearly two weeks after she was battling for her life.
It has always been Dalit women who face most of the most dehumanizing crimes again women. A country where institutions like caste and patriarchy are so deeply embedded in the minds of people that the voice of marginalized people are constantly suppressed. Cases of rape and murder against lower cast women are nothing new in this country and yet they go unnoticed every time because our society doesn’t favour justice for this woman.
Although the crime committed is rape we absolutely can’t alienate the issue of the cast from it. Throughout centuries, upper cast men have felt a sense of entitlement and hegemony over this lower caste people. It’s solely because of their caste status that they are able to commit such heinous crimes without being prosecuted in any way. They escape retribution because there are no consequences to privileged people in the law. They leave unscathed.
Sometimes it makes us feel worried about the kind of world we live in. We don’t hold people responsible. Instead, we just shift the blame on unnamed ghosts and the accused gets to walk free. Prittle Prattle highly condemns this downright inhuman act.
How many more marginalized women do we need to sacrifice in order to arouse society against the breeding evil that still percolates our society so deeply. When will be furious enough to break and rebuild this egregious society? You couldn’t protect her, couldn’t save her. You couldn’t even show her body to her own family on her deathbed. Dalit or not- she was first a woman and that is enough. The judiciary system needs to take a stand pronto and see to it that those monsters are punished.
Wake up before it’s too late. Assume responsibility!
