Nirbhaya’s MURDERERS – Not her “Rapists”

I’m sick of people saying “Hang Nirbhaya’s Rapist”. I mean yeah, it’s ridiculous how long the Indian state takes to carry out a sentence, but that’s not the point. No, the reason why I’m pissed off is because Nirbhaya was not just raped. She was tortured. She was murdered. She had her body parts pulled out of her.

Let’s be clear on this. These are not Nirbhaya’s rapists. They are her MURDERERS. What does it say about our society and the value we place on a woman’s life, when people choose to focus on the least horrific act done to her?

Am I saying that rape is not horrific? Of course not. I don’t even need to dwell on that issue. But everyone seems to forget the real horror she underwent. Having your guts pulled out and a rod pushed into your intestines is the REAL barbarity here.

I think this is an indictment of our society where we focus on a woman’s “honor” out of all proportion to her true suffering. Why don’t we have “Hang the torturer” rallies? In my opinion, the outrage here is entirely misdirected.

It’s obvious that whatever was done to Nirbhaya was an act of hatred. Hatred against women in general. And these animals will get what’s coming to them. But show some respect for the victim. If you want justice for her, focus on what REALLY happened. What she suffered through.

And rape – terrible as it is – was the least of it.
