India and Rape :Disturbing State of Mind!






A 23 yrs old girl was gang raped and tortured by 5 men in New Delhi this week and i'm thinking, should a country like India who claims to have so much respect for women have such barbaric things happen in the country's capital?

She was on her way home with a companion  at 9.15 pm(I mean, 9.15 isn't that late if we look at it logically) on that faithful Sunday night,and they decided to take a bus, little she know getting on that bus would changed her life forever.

After the guy had been beaten, the barbaric act went on for 45 mins in the moving bus, with the curtains drawn,no one to help the poor girl.
Raped, Beaten, Tortured, Stripped Naked, Thrown out of the bus, Left on the cold streets of Delhi ,her intestine was barely in her stomach and no one could cover the poor girl up.

Seriously,this is really disturbing. I don't know this girl from Adam, but she is someone's daughter, someone's sister. it could happen to anyone, she just entered the wrong bus at the wrong time.

 For someone like me who feels very insecure on the streets of India, this incident has increased my paranoia and i know people would say"you are a child of God, Nothing shall befall you", BUT,Abeg, they say "Man know Thyself".

Oh well! Sometimes Bad things happen to good people. No matter what the police does to the rapists or how much the government compensates her and her family, it would not bring back her lost innocence and she can never erase those 45 mins of her life .

Say No to #Rape...
