A fortnight has passed since the Delhi gang-rape incident and all the brouhaha has culminated in the death of the innocent victim in a foreign hospital and the implementation of section 144 in Delhi . Now the million dollar question staring at our country is " What now ?? " . Do we go back to our mundane lives of negligence and indifference or do we capitalize on this national momentum to actually propel our country to a new level of moral awareness ?
It is now upon us to bring about a change in our minds and to turn these thoughts into an actual physical quantifiable thing . People say dont shame the victim shame the rapists . That will only lead to the generation of a new breed of people who wont even feel remorse for their crimes & hateful acts . Admonishing a person will not convert his mind , but having a healthy " live and let live " attitude will . Punitive action against a criminal is not the best corrective action . The aim should be to nip the problem in the bud and reduce the number of such vile incidences . As is said " Prevention is better than cure " , the target should be a society where crime is at a minimal level .
It is now upon us as a society in the throes of moral change to protest against the discrepancies in our democracy and straighten out the kinks in society . Only when this happens can we as a country progress towards becoming a respectable state in the affairs of the globe . It is now our turn to stand up for our rights and prove the crown of " Ignited Minds " bestowed by Dr A P J Abdul Kalam to be worthy of our actions .
