I have no right or interest in preaching you and
neither am I a regular blogger but I think everyone has some moments in their
life which change their thinking and rest of life. GANDHI saw play of HARISH-CHANDRA and
he learnt the importance of truth and I can quote many more but that is not my
focus in this blog. I am not a wonderful wizard with words but I have witnessed
my moment of truth few weeks ago and I am writing this in very small hope that
this blog can also be moment of truth TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
What happened in DELHI
on 16th December with that BRAVE-HEART has shaken me deep inside. Though that
was not the first one in our society and sadly not the last one either but I have
never heard of brutality like this. What make me sadder is that happened in the
capital of UNION REPUBLIC OF INDIA, and not in a tribal corner of country. Yet
we are helpless in stopping this shame? This shame is happening with each
passing moment, somewhere in this society but I am not able to stop this… we
are not able to stop this. Political class has failed us, but I am sure that
next election will again be fought on basis of caste, religion and region and believe
me this thought makes me sick. What is wrong with us?
For people who are ready to tell me that blogging will not help and get
my ass moving and join civil services or politics to make this country a better
one, let me clarify that I am not a bright scholar and to be honest I am sure I
will not qualify the exam for a police constable, because to know the name of
vice president of country I have to Google it and do you really think joining
politics is still common man’s thing. Sorry to differ but you are living in
past. But does this really make me a useless citizen of this country??? If
making this country a better place means politics or government job, then what is
the use of others classes of society like me who work in shifts for 12-15 hours
to repay their education or home loan and trying to invest rest for their family..Are
we villains in the story of country’s development?
To sooth my soul and perhaps stand outside a section of social
networking generation I went to a protest and lit candles for that brave-heart
girl but believe me what I saw there is not making me feel good. Politicians
ready to politicize this for some votes and media crew hungry for a clipping
that along with some sad violin music makes them a TRP gainer. I was not there
to post pictures on facebook or twitter but to let the authorities know that
system has failed us and it’s time to audit current system but nothing happened
and I felt more helpless than ever in my life. Political class is not ready to
hear us and they think of themselves as rulers of country, not the leaders of a
democracy. So what can we do to stop this shame???
Perhaps the best thing we can do is look deep inside our self and
remember that we all have
monsters inside and an angel also, just try to tame the monster next time when we go out in society, don’t try
to make 'most' of a crowded bus or train. Just try to save this society by
remembering that BRAVE HEART in every girl...
Sad
to see so many people interested in knowing the true identity of BRAVE-HEART of
Delhi, let her be an anonymous face, so that no one starts a trust on her name
or market her death as a brand... let her be anonymous, so that we remember her
face in every girl of our society and try to stop this shame of society,
remember she was an ordinary girl with simple dreams, don’t idolize her or make
a heroine out of her to hide the impotency of ours.. We lost the right to call her our sister or daughter or even friend that
very day when we failed to protect her in our society so please don’t try to
appease your ego. Please let her be an anonymous face which reminds us of
our failure...
RIP BRAVE-HEART

Darshi, this is by far the best write up you have come up with. What happened and what will... i do not know... but im happy to see that the braveheart's death is not in vain... it has stirred up a nation's conscience and its youth... it may well be the lull before the storm. salute to the "nirbhaya" girl. May she find peace wherever she is.
By apraising ur skills I wont render ur feeling a waste.
With all respect to ur feelings I just want to say that if u really want to change the face of society then take sm pain n use ur all rights. Speak, write, protest n use ur voting power. Only blaming cant help anyone.
Keep Continue ur fight.
Bolger is a male.. N if men starts realising this crucial side of society then definitely "change" is waiting for us on d next turn.. Time shall nt mek us cold.. This incidence shuld remain in our vains.. Very well written..
