datia court judgment

A fast track court in Datia(MP) India has sentenced 6 persons to life imprisonment for the rape of a 26 year old Swiss woman who was gang-raped by 6 youth in presence of her husband while she was travelling by cycle from Orchha to Datia. The rape was committed in broad daylight in a village What is shocking is that none intervened or called the police! It appears that Indians seem to have lost all sense of  decency,honesty,bravery,valour and honour. We must remember that  the next victim could easily be our own kith and kin.
India traditionally has considered women's honour to be sacred. Since times immemorial men in India have laid down their lives to protect the honour of women. Ram,Krishna,Rana Pratap,Shivaji,Akbar,Guru Gobind Singh and many other great rulers in India went great lengths to ensure that no woman was harmed during their reign.
The Judiciary is today showing tremendous sensitivity in matters of gender discrimination and violence. However the need of the hour is more women police officers and judges who should investigate and adjudicate offences against women.
Women on their part should draw inspiration from warriors like Laxmibai,Jeezabai,

Chenamma,Indira Gandhi and numerous other warriors and unitedly face this growing menace. I am sure once they shrug off their timidity and cowardice men will be scared to attack them. I am of the opinion that there are enough decent men in our society even in these degenerate times who will gladly come to the rescue of any damsel in distress!
