WHY IS SO HYPE REGARDING NIRBHAYA’S DOCUMENTARY?


The recent made BBC Documentary, after the Nirbhaya’s rape case created so many buzzes in the country. Everywhere, from television to social networking sites  are filled with talks regarding this documented film by Leslee Udwin. According to reports, Government under the UPA rule had given the rights to BBC for the documentation of this film. BBC had also sought the permission from the officials of Tihar Jail, in order to take the interview of Ram Singh, one of the accused in Nirbhaya Rape case. This film is now ready, but the controversy over this film’s screening has now been floated on the top. Apparently, this documentary has few things which are controversial which has raised the demand to stop this film’s screeing.Going by the reports; this film has tried to showcase the point of view of the rapists that have presented their perspective in this film. There are some controversial statements, like Ram Singh telling the interviewee that a victim should let herself to the mercy of the accused. Also, he said that government should not let him hanged; as if they do then no other rapists might leave other victims to survive. They just simply are going to kill them as it raises the fear of them getting caught. This is good that the nation has been awaked by the Nirbhaya’s case. But, what happened after this incicident? Is the rape cases are getting checked? The facts are telling otherwise.

The recent incident of Badayun and the Muzaffarnagar gang rape case are some of the examples of non implementation of law. According to National Crime Records Bureau, the 2012 annual report of rape cases recorded in India was 24,293 while Delhi alone had the figure of 700.Delhi,where Nirbhaya case happened, in 2013 recorded 1,121 number of rape cases which was the highest data in last 13 years. All these data shows that even after so many protests in Delhi regarding Nirbhaya rape case, these incidents have increased tremendously in the country. In Delhi alone, the figure has reached to almost double which needs to be concerned.

In States like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal, Rape incidents have projected a highest peak. Rape cases in these prescribed states increased very fast. Madhya Pradesh recorded highest number of rape cases so far with 3,425. If you see the major cities in India, Delhi records highest number of Rape incident followed by Mumbai.

So these things are showing that we need to think broadly while taking larger picture in mind. Only, strengthen our laws and banning picture is mere not enough to correct such things. We need to think at broad level; only then our problem will be over. Our society is much cruel as these rapists are. It has now become necessity to have clear perspective about the issue. There are crimes happening against women in almost every household. About 90 percent of such incidents are generated inside one’s own family.

Our society which has been grown as male dominated is creating problems for the safety of women. Our male society developed a habit of overpowering the females of the country which is bad.  In our homes, we treat our sisters as if they are minor, which is just demeaning for those who are talking just taking a single perspective of rape incidents. Even at the workplace, we try to marginalise our women which are bad. So, that’s mentality needs to be changed before we start blaming others.

Moreover, the flaw in our judicial system also tends to guard those involved in crime and thus creating problem for our society. There are rapists who got bail easily without getting charged and there are ministers charged with rape in our parliament shouting against each other. So, that thing needs to be changed. There is a requirement to strengthen our judicial system, so that these rapists couldn’t able to get free easily.

Also, these ministers inside the parliament, they have been voted by us and they are among us. So, until and unless our decision making gets stronger we can’t able to improve. So, regarding the hype about India’s daughter screening, there is no point in banning this film. As, this is just a perspective, we can’t say it tends to create an issue. Moreover, everyone has right to present its own views. So, if Ram Singh presented his own view then it is no wrong thing .This freedom, they enjoy under article 19(1) (a) of freedom of speech and expression. So, in my view that documentary should have screened and there are other things which need to be taken care off.

सड़क का डॅान कौन ?

आजकल सड़क दुर्घटनाओं में मारे जा रहे लोगों की संख्या बढ़ती जा रही है ।एक खबर के मुताबिक भारत में अब तक तकरीबन 1,35,000 लोग सिर्फ सड़क दुर्घटना के कारण मारे जा चुके हैं ।क्या कारण है कि भारत में ऐसी स्थिती बनी हुई है ? इसका एक कारण है सड़क नियमों की अनदेखी करना जिसकी वजह से दुर्घटनाएँ हो रही हैं। आपको जहाँ- तहाँ ऐसे लोग मिल जाएंगे, जो सड़क नियमों की अनदेखी करने के लिए हमेशा तैयार रहते हैं ।उस पर पुलिस भी मामूली चलान काट कर,पूरे मस़ले को रफ़ा-दफ़ा कर देती है ।इस मामले पर तो कई जगह सुनवाई तक नहीं हुई, जो वाकई निराशाजनक है । उधर देश में जिस तेजी से चार - चकिया वाहनों की संख्या का इज़ाफा हुआ है, उससे ये साबित होता है कि भविष्य में पैदल चलने वालों को जगह कम पड़ेगी ।चाहे घर हो या न, पर गाड़ी रहना सबके लिए जरूरी है तभी तो हम बगल वाले शर्मा जी की बराबरी कर सकेंगे ।अगर हाथ देकर भी उन्हें ईशारा करो, तो वे जानबूझकर गाड़ियों की रफ्तार और बढ़ा लेते हैं । यहाँ तक कि जेबड़ा क्रॅसिंग पे भी चलने के लिए दो बार सोचना पड़ता है ।सड़क , मानों जैसे इन गाड़ियों और उनके मालिकों के लिए ही बनी है । ...
