The Verdict

Yesterday on 13^th September 2013 the verdict on the Delhi Gang Rape Case was given. All four accused have been given capital punishment. They are all going to die.

Every other person that I talked to, every other facebook status that I read, every other news channel that I watched, they all said the same thing.

‘Justice has been served’.

 ‘All four of them have gotten what they deserved.’

I beg to differ.

All six of them, they gave ‘hell’ an altogether new meaning. They not only raped her. They brutalized her body with other foreign objects as well. They did unimaginable things to her, the details of which are just too horrific. They made her friend watch and tortured him as well, beating the crap out of him when he tried to help her. They threw her and her friend out of the moving bus. Hoping they’d die. They didn’t. They survived. She died a couple of days later, succumbing to her injuries while her friend survived.

Is giving them death penalty for what they did really justice? I don’t think so. I respect the Court’s decision, I really do. But I think death is simple. It is easy. It just doesn’t seem enough! They will be hanged till death. In one swift motion their lives will end. No suffering at all. It just doesn’t seem right to me. 

I wish castration was legal in India, even electrocution for that matter. I wish they could be burnt alive (Yes, I am a sadist at heart). But, damn our laws.   

I am happy that the judgement was finally passed. Hope that things will change now. Hope men will think twice before touching women now.
