A battle to be fought on two fronts!

A battle to be fought on two fronts! 

- on Legal / Political front and on an Individual front

On one hand the incident represents a complete failure of police, law, and political leaders and on the other hand it is a social failure – failure of our society.

From the current movement we can assure that people have realized the importance and need of fighting the battle at legal and political level. On this front we need to fight against the Hitlerism of Govt., open ‘Gunda Raaj’ of Police force, and loss democratic rights. Hence, we will not discuss it here. 

But we must also realize at the same time that it is a social failure. What do we mean by a social failure..?

Social failure is a phenomenon where different individuals fails to do their work – parents, friends, teachers, sisters, wives, mothers, brothers, and peers.

Failure of parents to inculcate values (respecting dignity of an individual without gender/caste/social status) in their children – not referring to girls but the boys (individuals) who commit such crimes.

Failure of friends to discourage such thoughts / discussions / activities which eventually lead to such major crimes. (Here not only boys but girls can also contribute significantly – we are sure that each one of us know what we talk and encourage in our talks)

Failure of teachers to create an environment where each individual is given due respect – starting from teachers giving due respect to students (without any discrimination).

Failure of sisters / mothers / wives to raise their voice against every instance of domination, especially from males in the family/society. Raise voice and not tolerate domination from a male whether he is her brother / father / husband or son. A female doesn’t need to fight (in literal sense) with their family members but talk / explain / convince / negotiate with them to give them due respect.

Failure of brothers / peers to guide / talk / stop their peers at each and every occasion whenever they feel the need. Also, there is a failure of each male in the family/society to support females in getting their due respect. When a sister/mother/daughter is fighting for their rights it is responsibility of the brother/father/son to support her.

Failure of an individual to be a ‘human being’ – ignoring crimes / victims / incidents until they affect him/her directly.

On one hand when we continue with rally / protest asking for the rights / justice, we must also start the long fight / actions at our own houses / family / school / college / friend-circle.

As a lawyer / policeman / politician / criminal – is a brother / son / father / uncle / friend of someone in the society and after all a human being. And when they fail to do their job all of us around have failed to perform our responsibilities at some level…

Let’s fight… Let’s start with correcting our own acts first…
