The police encounter on all 4 accused in Hyderabad lady doctor rape-murder case is
something I couldn’t appreciate while every other in the country praised a lot.
The first thing stroke my mind when I heard on the encounter was the accused
were only escaped through this act of instant death. I see death, killing or execution couldn’t be
severe than living to feel the pain and shame. I’m not against the encounter or
support it either, but this could be avoided to punish them any other ways where
they regret for their cruel act consciously. Life is precious, and one could
not compensate on it and at same time taking a life involuntarily couldn’t be
right and those culprits deserve punishment undoubtedly. But shot to dead
someone will only free them from the consequences that make them feel regret or
experience pain until they die.
The
encounter could trigger a fear in those who think of molesting women but I don’t
know how long this will sustain fear in evil minded men, when the world instantly
and constantly turn over topics. I know the violence against women and children
has come to light lot these days and this has to be uprooted from our society where
new found thoughts are replanted or a change in perception of men, what should
thrive from the homes where children are taught or practiced to treat women
with equal rights, dignity and respect. Though they deserve lot more than what
reaches our thoughts. Despite the actions taken on the accused and sending
alarm to men we need to take conscious measure in protecting ourselves at
first place before turn over the society.
We somehow knew the society we live isn’t secure – so what we’re in need of lot more security cameras – and in this condition we have to make certain of our own safety. Though they say fear is an illusion in darkness but all conditions aren’t same and what hides in darkness couldn’t be predicted. So it is better we have a torch to guide us safely and beware on every steps forward in a place (society) where it feel suspicious. I wonder what the education system teaches us rather how to protect ourselves first and tackle a suspect trying to hurt us. Why can't the institutions, workplaces guides/practices on self-defence as prior courses before they learn some technical terms, because our life is important than what we learn or earn. Children and women should be aware of the circumstances they work, study or routes commute as these are the places vulnerable for sexual maniacs to attack. Last but not least, these are things that should never let down women who had come to a place which isn’t easily to come over and men had to protect them from their own sexual.
