The Unbeatable Youth: Protest and Peace Rally for a Fighter!

Yes the youth of Faridabad city came on
the roads to protest against the system, the administration and against
the inhumanly rape of Delhi, chanting these lines.
I
was witnessing the Protest Rally against the brutal Delhi Gang Rape,
organized by the youth of different schools of Faridabad. The rally
started sharp at 4:00p.m. and it was a pleasant surprise to see the boys
marching in huge number with the girls. The anger of the youth leapt
like uncontrolled flame. Just then someone shouted, “This is Haryana, so
we must first think of Haryana- let the Punjab people think of Punjab
and so on”. I was dumbstruck and wanted to retaliate but before I could
say anything, a boy shouted, “We are Indians and want our girls safe all
over the world”. This time my heart welled up with pride! Half the
battle against injustice was already won with the youth knowing their
responsibility.
But
then at the same time I was forced to contemplate while marching ahead
with them, ‘Where are we going wrong? Why are we breeding animals in
guise of humans? Who is responsible for it? Mental marathon is being
done by many thinkers, philosophers on this and ‘parents’ and ‘school’
are being ‘zeroed at’ as the answer for the same. It is believed that
the parents and the teachers should nurture the minds of the children in
a positive way, so we do not breed criminals. If the guardians are
abusive and are continuously torturing women at home naturally the
children will also learn all this! In India this kind of environment is
very common, as Himani Mittal of Nach Baliye of Sector 14, Faridabad
says, “I came for the Protest Rally because I somehow feel that there
are many more Damini’s who are dying and being tortured everyday”.
But it is believed that the guardians
too sometimes fail in streamlining their children. What about those who
are school dropouts- who do not listen to their parents? What about such
people? I too was little stuck up to find the answer, but today’s
Street Play against injustice gave me my answer- There are so many
N.G.O’s in India, many are run by government aid. These N.G.O’s can come
up with such plays to guide and enlighten people- such people who never
go to school. This evening I saw how masses respond to such plays and
dramas..
But
the most important thing is this that the daughters of this country
have to lead a fearless life! We have to make the administration realise
that we do not want any more of this sh**. I am sorry for this
language but it is high time the administration and police realise that
such incidents are not mere incidents. It is high time the various
political parties fighting on issues like ‘Reservation’ etc fight to
amend the constitution so the daughter of India- The Fighter Damini,
gets her justice! Justice, so that any Rapist before committing such
heinous crimes would think twice that they could be hanged for their
vile and animal play in city of humans! Or at least castrated as many of
the students this evening demanded!About the Author:
