The long wait for justice came with a shocker of an extension when the CBI closed Arushi's case citing lack of evidence. Then came the tussle between the parents and the country's most upright(anything but this) investigating agency followed by an attack on Rajesh Talwar and the Delhi public's Justice march on 30th Jan.
In all this, my take is that in a country like India, where politicians are busy firefighting for their wrong doings, where the judicial system is always looked up on with suspicion, where upholders of law are flouting it in the open, its victims like Arushi or her parents who will be left in a lurch to fend for themselves. Be it an eyewitness to such crimes or somebody reading an article such as this, will merely clench their fists till the time they say, arre yaar...kii farkh painda hai, India mein yeh sab to chalta hi rahega. But no! This has to stop.
Let there be a beginning to end this habit of "Denying Justice". Whether this is a case of homicide or honour killing, the life of the 14 year old is lost and the authorities should at least bear in mind the importance of life.
I hope and wish that better sense prevail and that the sweet child of the Talwars gets its due.
There are a billion people in India. More people than needed. So by demand and supply mechanics, the life of a person is not worth much!
ReplyDeleteIn the whole process, the attorneys must have made some serious money. The CBI definitely lavishly squandered the tax payer's money and the media got to keep the TRP news channels high.
This is what is going to happen if you or I are unjustly killed!
