Every time I read something of the sort, it disturbs me. As opposed to people who just read about it like yet another story. But the story that made me cringe was the one about Aruna Shanbaug.
For the ignorant, Shanbaug, a nurse at KEM was sodomized after being strangled with a dog chain by a ward boy. The attack made her lose her speech and left her paralyzed and in a vegetative state. She was 25 at the time of the attack. Oh and just for the record, this happened 36 fuckin' years ago. She is 61 and still in a vegetative state. Pinki Virani, the author of several heart wrenching and disturbing books had written a book on Aruna too. She has now moved SC with a plea to "direct the KEM not to force feed her". Effectively, this means, Euthanasia.
I'm not writing this blog to debate on the morality of Mercy Killing. So let me just get to the point.
In all of this... where the fuck is the ward boy who left Shanbaug in this stats. Sohanlal Walmiki was jailed for 7 years for, get this, attempted murder and robbing Shanbaug's earrings. Full stop. NOT for rape. He apparently is employed in a Delhi hospital.
I'm disgusted. I cannot fathom the mass illness plaguing men in India.
And the only solution I can think of, as punishment and as a deterrent is... castration. No hanging, no life imprisonment, simply chop their weeners off. Life imprisonment and death sentences are easy ways out. Let them be subjected to pain and a life of humiliation as the women they raped were. That ought to do the trick
Oh yes, and I dare... I DARE you pseudo-intellectuals and humanitarians to give me bullcrap about the inhumanity of this, India not believing in the eye-for-an-eye thingy. I DARE you.
