We don't need her name to mourn her, we
have all lost a daughter.
She lives through her death, just as she is
unforgettable, her sinners are
unforgivable.

We promise her, we will do everything
possible to save our daughters inside and
outside of the wombs.
This is our tribute to her, our daughter of
India.

My New Year Resolution

Is the Indian spring finally here?

With thousands of youths coming on the Indian streets, marching with placards, shouting slogans, staging protests supporting the popular demand "death penalty to the rapists", one wonders: Is the Indian spring finally here?
Although I am not sure whether we already have a definition for "Spring" in this context, I think this may not be the Spring that India needs, awaits and deserves from its youth. A great revolution can't evolve with only people on the streets. For a true change to occur, we need, besides a zealous crowd, a strong and sincere will to change. If there is a lack of sincere intention, the revolution will achieve anything but its true mission.
In last couple of years, India has witnessed massive uprising of its fervent youth and "usually dormant" middle class. One nation, two legitimate demands: a strong "anti-corruption" law and "anti-rape" law. In both these demands, the populace has been disappointed with an almost apathetic government. Consequently, the nation's youth is completely stirred. So what is the way forward? Enactment of strong law against these menaces is an absolute requirement. But my question is: Can laws solve all our ills?
In addition to an ardent demand for enacting strong laws against corruption, rape molestation, and violence against women, may I suggest another partial solution: All those, including myself, who think that - corruption is bad for the country - and that - rape is bad for women - must, at the very least, swear to themselves, "We shall not indulge in any corrupt practice and we shall not disrespect or hurt women".  And mere promise will not be enough, we shall have to live by the promise.
By practicing these two, the youth will reduce the corruption by at least 50% and sufferings of women by another 50% or more. And if these are practiced, by next 10 years, India will become a model country for the rest of the world. I believe this will incite a true Indian Spring!
Now that the unfortunate victim of  Delhi-Gang-Rape has finally succumbed to her injuries, and finally over with her struggles, this shows how India raped one more of its daughters to death! This is not first time in India that a girl has been raped to death. But can it be the last? I firmly believe, if we, the people of India, promise to ourselves that we shall not participate in such heinous crimes, her death can be the last.
I wish in this coming new year, every Indian, at least makes this resolution . And India will be happier. Happy New Year to both men and women of India and the world.
