Reclaim the Night

Sunaina

What would be the fate of that society, where an innocent trainee doctor, after 36 hours of hectic duty was brutally gang raped and cold blooded murdered in the hospital conference hall at the hands of beasts of our so called human society. This innocent doctor didn’t know that the night of 8th August, 2024 would come up with such a horrible, scary painful end to her most prized life. Thing to ponder here is that Sanjay Roy ,a volunteer of the disaster management department, working in the same R G Kar Hospital has not only murdered that doctor but has torn the spirit of humanity from within.
The autopsy report of the doctor has raised innumerable questions over the civilisation, we are living in and filled the heart of every parent with fear regarding the safety and life of their daughters. It is getting very hard for me to explain the situation of the parents of that doctor after going through the details of injuries found on the dead body of that doctor.
It is breathtaking that if, for a second we imagine the pain, Moumita Debnath (victim) would be receiving during attack on her body parts by the culprit.
The postmortem report confirmed that in addition to the number of injuries on her whole body, pressures were applied to her mouth and throat and she was strangled resulting in the fracture of her thyroid cartilage. In short this criminal has crossed all the limits of brutality.
The question here arises, is there any place in this entire cosmos where our female is safe? She is being molested, raped, and even killed at every juncture of her life. News paper are crammed with incidents like rape of minor girl, sexual assault of a teenager , molestation of an elderly woman and gang rape of a adolescent girl by three or four men. I will not hesitate to call them monsters, who have abridged the whole male community to the least echelon of humanity.
There are lots of other incidents which have made country like India, anxious for women. Not even strangers but neighbors and relatives are also involved in this heinous crime against naive, miserable and feeble girls, especially minors who cannot even resist but pay for being born as a girl child and also pay the price of being born as a girl child..Our country is also turning into, a country, where sexual assault is rapidly increasing.
In addition to kolkata brutal rape and murder case India has also witnessed Nirbhaya gang rape and murder, case, Shakti mills case 2013, Badaun gang rape 2014 , Unnao rape case 2017, kathua gang rape and murder case 2018, Priyanka Reddy Hyderabad case 2019.
According to National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB), report 2024 india reported 445256 cases of crime against women, these are only those cases which are registered , more than 50 % of these cases remain un registered, because people are scared of social stigma, which a girl or the family of girl has to face, after the discloser.
After going through the case history of innumerable cases of eve teasing, molestation, conjugal harassment, rape and cold blooded murder under lust by ‘tarnish men’, my heart is howling with questions and can someone answer me?

  • Where should we girls go? Is there any place in this world, where we can feel secure?
  • To be born as a girl child, is this our fault, or is to be born physically weak is our fault?
  • Why do some ‘tarnish men’ consider females as their personal property?
  • Is male ego so supreme, that on being rejected, he should react in the shameful ways of rape and murder?(5) When will this exploitation end? Why male community so revengeful towards females ?
  • Why have females been exploited at every stage of their lives?
  • Why crimes like female foeticide, dowry deaths, rape of minors are escalating day by day
  • Why are girls, who are victims, still awaiting righteousness? Who will provide them justice
  • Why male dominating society has been scratching a girl’s ego, credit, self respect and liberty from time immemorial?
  • Why she is devoid of egalitarianism and freedom of choice?(11) Can anybody imagine this world without women, if not ,then why brutality against women is raising?
  • Why blemished men are becoming vampires to women, thirsty for their blood and body?
  • Why a man always overlooks that, he has taken birth from a female’s body?
    Our society should need a profound insight of these issues. If the aggression against women keeps on escalating, then our earth would turn into hell.
