Rape Cases Walk India To Shame

I was just going by the newspaper a few months back and what I read, sent shivers down my spine.
What is happening in this country? news of a 5-year old girl being raped. I was shocked. She was just 5, an innocent little child who had just started her life, her seed of life was just nurtured into little plant-tiny buds of her life just started growing and some idiotic sex starved jerk exploited her. It is shameful even after when the whole country protested against Damini's gang rape, this brutal practice still is on full swing.
Some cases come into the eyes of public and media while some are kept as a secret. Just because people think it will humiliate the girl. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?
Why are people keeping fasts for goddesses when they just can't even respect a form of her. What would happen to that girl? Or thousands of other girls living under this horror? Everyday she would feel as If those pests are eating her soul. She will die everyday. What happened to all her dreams? Her happy life? No body would even accept her. She loses even her family. Never ever would she able to trust anyone. All she could do is,live in the dark shadows and realize what those monsters had done to her.

Damini lost her life cuz of such monsters who didn't have a control on their hormones. A 5-year old is stuck between life and death.
Another story of A teenager who was raped by 4 men and then humiliated by the police when she went for help. All the police said was *Hamari salah hai in me se ek se shaadi karlo. Nai to beizzati ho jayegi* and she committed suicide. Damn. What is this?

A girl portrays so many roles. A mother, a sister, a beloved, a wife, and still she is treated like some piece of rag.
Why aren't the accused being punishment? Why are they still free? Can there be a bigger crime than spoiling the whole life of a girl? I'm ashamed of all of this.

I still remember a candle light march organised in my city to protest against rapes and when I heard some boys over there, I felt ashamed, ashamed of our country, ashamed of mentality of people.
1st guy : Bhai Rape Vape ka to chodo. Ladkiya dekho idhar. Hayeee!! Tota hai puri.
2nd guy : Sahi me Yar. Vo blue top vali dekh. Man karta hai abhi pakad lu.

If you are actually protesting, mean it, don't just come for fun. And in the end rather than controlling themselves and ensuring safety for women, all they say is *Girls shouldn't wear short clothes, she should dress up properly*
Well no it isn't so. This is 21st century. A girl has her complete rights. But because of some people and their mentality, rape victims lead a life no less than a brutal punishment and a lot others live under those scary shadows. Every bit of me aches to see such a condition of my country. It's high time people. Start respecting women because she is the one who gave you life.
