Crime Capital

Delhi and NCR has long been infamous for crime against women. From Jessica to Arushi to Radhika, each crime againt women is a reminder of our carnal journey as a society along the path towards the brink of a catastrophe. Despite an affictitious material development, we still live in a stone age. The pigritude of law and order system, laggard judiciary, irresponsible political leadership, and passive civil society together have worsened the situation. After 64 years of independence, India is still heading a feudal mindset. From an alarmingly increasing female foeticide to skyrocketing crimes against women, Delhi, in particular, is losing its shine as a metropolitan. Nowhere in the world the crimes against women is so frequent as happens in Delhi. What makes one more disturbing is that Delhi's CM is a woman and she is in her third terms to the power in sequence and that has only become a symbolic break of glass ceiling, nothing more than that. What's more painful is that after every such crime against women whether it's a murder or rape, our CM has never bothered to spell out a politically correct statement, even though in all her consciousness she doesn't want to do, but she has never ever shirked to blame the victim, her dress code, her employment environment, her bringing up, and finally, she has taken a new stand in blaming the entire civil society in the recent Radhika Tanwar case.

I am extremely sorry, Madam CM, you have shown so much detest to your own gender community that perhaps, if not for any other achievement what you have done for Delhi, especially for your gender-specific statements you must win a Nobel. Madam CM, this is the time to act tough, passing the bucks mentality wont help anymore. Remember civility does not represent weakness, and it's not too far from this point that the civil society will join hands to transform the amputated democratic system into something new, unheard-of, radical governance process that will certainly work, and perhaps there would be no place for political leaders to bully the citizens of this country because the new world order is taking a tectonic shift.
