Rebirth of India: Superior

Main text Chapter 36

After listening to Knight's narration, Shakru was speechless and said in surprise: "This is too arrogant. Do you remember their license plates and appearances?"

Knight gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't remember the license plates, but I remember the appearance of those beasts clearly!"

"That's good, I'll call the police now!" Shakru immediately took out his mobile phone and called the police station, and then called Knight and Pandi's home.

Not long after arriving at the hospital, Knight and Pandi's parents came, especially the girl Pandi's father Badri grabbed Shakru's hand and refused to let go, thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you, respected Mr. Pandit, if it weren't for you, my daughter's life would not be saved. The doctor just said that fortunately she was sent in time. If it was half an hour or even ten minutes later, my poor Pandi would have died of excessive blood loss..."

Shakru hurriedly comforted: "It's just a little effort, you don't have to be like this. The current priority is to cure Pandi's illness and catch the murderer as soon as possible!"

Badri nodded Nodding, he said, "Yes, we must catch these damn beasts quickly. By the way, Mr. Pandit, I seem to have heard you say that you have already called the police station. Why haven't these police arrived yet?"

Shakru smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know how efficient this police station is? Especially for a case like rape, it would be strange if it was fast."

This is not Shakru vilifying the police in New Delhi, because in such cases, not to mention New Delhi, even the efficiency of the police in the whole of India is not high. It can even be said that the reason why rape cases in India are so frequent is directly related to the inaction and connivance of the police.

Some people have calculated that the Indian police's filing rate for such complaints is only 19%, while the courts have only closed 2.77% of the cases, and the final conviction rate is only 0.67%. You know, there are still a large number of cases that have not been reported to the police station, and a large number of juvenile crimes are not included.

In the Indian criminal law, the sentencing provisions for rapists are not very clear, and the court has a lot of discretion. According to the local criminal law, judges can impose sentences ranging from 7 years to life imprisonment on rapists. For gang rape, rape of pregnant women or particularly serious circumstances, the offender can be sentenced to 10 years to life imprisonment. However, the relevant laws also stipulate that for all rape cases, if the court has so-called sufficient and special reasons, the final sentence for the rapist can be lower than the minimum sentence stipulated by the law. In many cases, the offender is sentenced to two to three years in prison. In the past 10 years, the conviction rate for rape is only 26%. Some Indian experts also said that the long trial time of rape cases is also a problem. It often takes 7-9 years for India to try a rape case, and there are about 40,000 rape cases in the country that are pending trial.

In the context of lax law enforcement, the tolerance of rapists in Indian society is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Many Indians believe that rape is just a personal shame issue and does not involve crime. Even if the rapist is sentenced to prison, he will not be under too much social and economic pressure after being released from prison, and it is easy to find a job again. In contrast, the victim has to bear greater pressure. In the case of rape, people tend to favor the perpetrators, and nitpick about the moral consciousness and dress of the victimized women.

It is precisely because of the extreme tolerance of society to rapists that about half of the rape victims in India can only swallow their anger in the end. Some of them accepted the compensation due to pressure, and some because the police were unwilling to file a case at all. In addition, the low status of women in India, the imbalance of the ratio of men to women, and the widening gap between the rich and the poor have also objectively played a role in fueling the flames.

After Shakru's reminder, Badri finally reacted, but then he snorted and said, "My daughter has such a thing. If their police station dares to procrastinate again, I will deal with them!"

At first, Shakru thought that Badri was just angry, but to his surprise, this Badri's energy was really great. After he made a phone call, the police not only came quickly, but also handled the case conscientiously and treated Badri politely. It can be seen that this Badri is by no means a simple person.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. After the police opened a case for investigation, they quickly found and seized the bus that committed the crime, revoked its business license and cancelled its operating qualifications; and arrested six suspects, including the bus driver and his brother, a fitness coach, and a fruit vendor.

At the same time, this incident also caused a strong response in society. ZeeTV said that the vicious case brought shame to the whole of India, and the poor security situation in the capital area deserves reflection. Students in the capital took to the streets to protest and demanded that the police bring all the criminals to justice as soon as possible. Indian women and children also held protests in New Delhi, calling for the protection of women's safety. For several consecutive days, large-scale anti-*** demonstrations were launched in many parts of India to protest against unsafe security. The local government officials said that they would take severe measures against this vicious case, and the opposition party also announced that it would conduct parliamentary inquiries into the local rule of law.

This tragedy once again aroused people's attention to the safety of women in New Delhi, and the Indian media was also reflecting on why rape cases occurred frequently in Indian metropolises. According to reports, mainstream media such as the Hindustan Times and the Times of India used a rare three-page spread to detail the case, and gave a comprehensive report on the frequent rape cases in India, especially in the capital New Delhi, and questioned the police's inaction.

As a country with a high rate of rape, such cases happen every day in India. Not to mention Indians, even foreigners have become accustomed to it. But why did this incident cause such a big uproar?

The biggest reason is that there have been too many similar cases in India, and the repressed resentment of the people has been concentrated in this incident; on the other hand, it is because the victim Pandi's father Badri and his family are powerful enough to provoke and promote the development of the whole thing.

Another very important reason is that the victim Pandi, a female college student in this case, is a high caste, and the perpetrator is a low caste such as Shudra, which naturally touches the most sensitive nerves of the high castes: you lowly guys dare to tarnish the innocence of our high caste women, how can we not use all our strength to kill you! If the victim is a low caste and the perpetrator is a high caste, then the development of the matter is estimated to be different. Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
