Rape, loot, murder is a reflection of the present state of society where corruption, alcohol abuse, arms and drug trade, money laundering, etc. is taking place in front of everyone's eyes unchallenged day in and day out. Might is Right is true now more than ever. We get what we deserve. Just a hue and cry once in a while cannot transform society. We need a major surgery - the surgery to remove the cancerous growth of CORRUPTION in all forms at all levels in society.
Corruption of the mind is what we need to attack from birth to death. We see all round degeneration in standards of public morality and civility over the last 67 years, after independence. Where has the 5,000 year proud culture, where we revere all women as 'our mothers and sisters' gone? The oath "All Indians are my brothers and sisters" is followed more in violation and thus remembered.
If parents have to pay a bribe for a child birth, for treatment in a hospital, for getting admitted in a school, for getting a job, for becoming a professional, a businessman, a politician, etc., we know what values they will imbibe in the child. Earn back quickly and in geometric proportion of what has been spent.
We should create a culture of achieving satisfaction through contribution to society and being satisfied with minimum wants. We should get away from the habit of flashing our wealth and aping materialism. We need to eschew the greed to amass wealth.
For this to happen we should make all transactions transparent to prevent people from doing things on the sly. Thn instead of blaming a few gullible people who get drunk and commit crimes, we can attack the root cause of all problems and solve it once for all. Else we will be talking of just the periphery of the problem and never come to the core.
Just ponder over and let's discuss .....

Rape in Delhi – All round corruption and lack of values could be the cause
The disgusting incident of rape in Delhi is nothing new in today's India, though the media has given wide publicity to this incident. Many such incidents have been taking place all over the country, more so amongst the women in the lower income group and many such incidents have not been reported.
Sometime back, a blind man's wife, ( who has vision ) was escorting her child from the school at 4 pm in the evening in suburb of Chennai, when four rowdies pushed her into a corner and assaulted her. Her blind husband anxious that the wife has not returned, took the help of some friends and went in search of her. He found her lying in a corner in a field totally devastated with the child crying nearby. This matter was reported in some local papers and a FIR was registered. To cut the long story short, the culprits were identified but they have gone scot-free. Obviously, those with political clout or money power can get away with any crime in today's India. The rapidly increasing widespread drinking habit is a major reason for such incidents taking place. Gandhijis advocacy of prohibition has fallen on dead ears. One wonders whether those in charge of administration who know these things have any conscience at all.
Due to the prevailing climate, number of rowdies in the country are increasing every day and police force are becoming increasingly inefficient and disinterested and the politicians in power have no sense of responsibility. The media including print and visual media as well as journals and cinemas, are also responsible for such a situation, as they highlight such incidents viewing them as sensational news and business opportunity, while ignoring several good things that are happening.
The corrupt conditions and excessive greediness to make money at any cost are creating such conditions where the law breakers have no fear of law and they think they can buy anyone.What is particularly sad is that the judiciary is also playing a role in promoting such a climate of violence, by not giving judgements in quick time and permitting the offenders to exploit the loopholes in law in the name of protecting the individual rights. Hundreds of cases can be shown where criminals and rapists have gone scot free.
Now women are the victims more in the rural areas and small towns.
It also causes concern that women too are contributing to such conditions by their mode of dress, tendency to go with strangers or the so called boy friends even in the dark hours and lack of parental control. In Chennai city last week, 7 college girl students were reported to have gone for a ride at 11 pm in the night in a car without the knowledge of the parents and they rushed back home by 4 in the morning to reach home before the parents would know. The speeding car met with an accident in which one girl died and the others were injured.
It is necessary for women to be more careful and dress themselves with dignity and avoid "free life" in the name of modern lifestyle. Of course, the media would call the suggestion as moral policing and conduct another debate !
