हम चुप रहेंगे ! (Hum Chup Rahenge!) We Will Remain Silent! This is the high time we must speak. If not walk on roads, or in candle light marches, we at least should vent out our anger so that people who are ruling as must know that we can't tolerate it any more. Recently so many rape incidents has stirred the nation be it rape and murder of 8 year old in Kathua, Unnao rape where victims father was killed, Assam rape, Surat gang rape again with a minor, Siwan (Bihar ) rape of a deaf and dumb girl and there may be more which are not reported with the fear that nothing will achieved by reporting the incident. I have penned this Hindi poem which summed up our society's attitude to rape and rape incidents. लूट रहीं हैं आबरू तो लूटें, हम चुप रहेंगे! पिंघल रही है मासूम बच्चियां तो पिंघलें, हम चुप रहेंगे! Lut Rahi Hain Aabru To Lute, Hum Chup Rahenge! Pinghal Rahin Hain Massom Bachchiyan To Pinghlein, Hum Chup Rahenge! हम देखेंगे पहले की उसका धर्म क्या है, कपड़ें कैसे पहने थे, चाल-चल...

कुछ बदलेगा ?(Kuch Badlega ?) Will anything ever change? That haunts me whenever I started thinking deeper about crime against women in India and specifically in Delhi. Crime against women here are increasing day by day. Criminals are becoming so fearless that they didn't even think twice before committing a crime even in a crowded place. Our police system which acts slow on crime against women, our judicial system which hardly punish rapists, acid attackers, child molesters, etc to imbibe fear in others and our politics which is not serious about these issues while giving tickets to criminals. Few days ago a 22 year old girl stabbed in front of a dozen people in broad daylight by her stalker in Burari area of Delhi. Two other similar crimes happened in Mangolpuri and Indrapuri of Delhi where two 17 years old girls get killed. Delhi is not only the rape capital where not even a 11 months old girl is save but also a crime capital where such crime happens without any fear of law....

Tune Saha Jo Dard - A Tribute to Nirbhaya 16 December 2012 the date which witnessed the heinous crime of a gang rape of 23 year old paramedical student Jyoti Singh by five animal like men in Delhi. She as Nirbhaya (fearless) united the country in fight against sexual crimes which resulted in strengthening of rape laws but sadly her rapists even after fast track court hearing are waiting for judgement. Nothing has changed in last three years except the change in governments. Rapes are still rampant in the country and no government looked serious to deal with the issue. I wrote below poem on 29th December 2012 after her death as a tribute to her, I shared it here on this blog previously on 1st Jan. 2013. Today I feel to share it again because as a society we have failed her not because her rapists are not hanged but for the attitude of society towards the rape crimes have not changed. I added the last stanza today while re-writing this poem here. तूने सहा जो दर्द वो इन्तेहाँ ही थी, तड़...
