Incredible India..!
It's the place where girls, as young as five year old gets brutally raped and the police offers 2000 rupees to the parents not to register the case. Incredible indeed.
Women is considered as lesser being by most of the people in India, hence the female feticide.And do not think it is the illiterate rural folks who are at it, its most widely done in the urban upper class . In one sense it is better, than the baby growing up and facing more atrocities on the way.
I am not saying that India is the only place where crimes of such inhuman nature occurs, what I am
saying is that India is the only place where such crimes occur and the maximum punishment that can be handed off is a lifetime sentence, 12 or so years in prison. Is so many years of free accommodation, food and paid labor going to deter the next person from committing the same crime..? I don't think so.
Punishment needs to install a sense of terror in everybody's mind, like when I was little, "I will tell this to your papa when he gets home " was all that was needed to bring out my best behaviour. I've read about the life in prison in other countries, only a born criminal can withstand that life, and generally people tend to avoid it. But over here, its better than the life outside for most of them.
India is the second populous country in the world, and main majority of its population is poor, "below poverty line". The Government on its part has passed out policies ensuring food provisions at a discounted rate from PDS outlets and the 100 days of work for everyone,but the non-poor society implementing these schemes cannot just get enough for themselves..!!
It is indeed very much difficult situation, but we have the manpower as well as the intellectual power to make changes in these situation, we only need a great leader, someone who can make use of our resources to the betterment of the country as a whole, and not just their personal life.
I do believe that such a change will come about, however late. We have identified our vices long back, and their solutions too, just the implementing part is lagging.
