The appalling rape incident of a 23-year old in Delhi has put entire nation to shame. ‘#stopthisshame’ trended for all the right reasons. Here’s a glimpse into the emotions tweeple poured out:
@NotthatMP- “One rape is a tragedy, a 1000 a mere statistic. #StopThisShame”
@shantanudhankar- “No point in worshipping goddesses if you live in a society which can’t even respect and protect women #StopThisShame”
Sagarika Ghose- “Why is our system failing to protect women?Why doesn’t judiciary act?Attack after attack on women,still no action.FTN 10.30pm #stopthisshame”
@SeaGaga- “In a country where the CJI suggests marrying rapist we are confused about the concept of deterrence leave aside worded laws! #stopthisshame”
@archanavijaya- “Actions speak louder than words! Hang those B**tards! #StopThisShame”
‘#Delhi’ was another top trend for the same reason. Here are few dedicated to this hash-tag:
@RooneyKhosla- “I feel violated. In my own city. Each time I read this kind of news.Everyday when we’re harassed on the roads.Are u hearin our voice? #delhi”
@firstpostin- “Jaya Bachchan: Instead of saying that I “will try” the Home Minister should have said “I will” stop the rape cases. #Delhi #gangrape”
Preeti Shenoy- “The worst thing about rapes is even educated men ask “what was she wearing’ and ‘why was she out so late’ Deplorable. #delhi #rape”
@KhuranaPrateek- “I will be really happy if the police hang the four caught before they find the other two who they should kill in an encounter. #Delhi #Rape”
@KadambariM- “Problem really, is that #Delhi, like parts of UP & Haryana, has a culture of disrespecting women, a chauvinism scarier bcoz it is so casual.”
@SonicaSunderram- “No knights in shining armour for Indian damsels in distress. Rather, they should be walking around in armour themselves, no? #delhi.”
We at Youth Ki Awaaz sincerely wish the victim a speedy recovery. May she live to see her offenders behind bars.
All the GIRLS need to OPEN their EYES that they are not safe with even there boyfriends or any of their MALE friends. I HATE DELHI NOIDA AND WHOLE UP. MONSTERS AND RAPISTS LIVE HERE.
