No Judgement, each to their own


In India a caterpillar is taught not to be a butterfly, it’s a crime!




16th December 2012, a little after 9.30 pm a young couple board a bus to go to their respective houses.
Six men brutally rape the girl, leave an inch of life in her and her friend dumping them on the road in the cold wintery night of New Delhi, India.

The girl dies succumbing to the injuries. Indian Judiciary makes a summary judgement with a verdict of death penalty to the five accused. The sixth goes to a rehabilitation camp because of his age.

One of the five accused, commit suicide in jail.
Supreme court of India put on hold the execution of two accused, Mukesh Singh and Vinay Sharma.

BBC makes a documentary – “India’s daughter” and also airs the interview of Mukesh Singh, who without remorse blames the girl for being raped.

Indian media picks up the bytes pour it on social media and the ruckus begins.

From Indian Parliament to the nukkad, all blast their anger on the documentary maker and thus the documentary is put on hold. Strange and terrible events make the Indian quiet and calm, it’s the trifles such as a documentary that irritate their nerves.

So comes the questions, pardon the pun.
If the crime is proven and summary judgement is passed by High court, agree everyone guilty also have a right to appeal.
But what’s the use of the term “summary punishment” then? or there’s no such thing....

If we the Indian are so sensitive about the truth and the pursuit of truth then let the documentary be aired.
Let’s have the interview of a man, the judiciary has put a stay on his death penalty be aired; who has no remorse for his actions.
Let all Indians for ones decide the fine line between right and rights!
