Mr.President of India, the public protests in Delhi and elsewhere in the country were not only against the ghastly and brutal crime against a woman, but also against the lackadaisical attitude of the ruling class, complete lawlessness and an apathetic Governance (billion-dollar scams, remember?); with children and women from 0-90 being abused without fear of law, all that talk of growth in investment, retail, telecom (2G, 3G and 4G!) manufacturing and services, an emerging riddled-class (!) and a global-power-in-the-reckoning vying for a Permanent Seat in the United Nations Security Council (ironically, with no security for its own citizens!) remains but a SHAM! Mere claims of "being concerned" and "deeply hurt" on account of being a "father of 3 daughters" or making a scapegoat of Police constables by sacking them for not doing their job (you do?!), provides no solace to the victim or the immediate family who have been scarred for a lifetime! While most among us would go about celebrating the New Year with our friends and family while looking forward to fresh beginnings in 2013, the trauma and scars of our bretheren who have been (brutally!) abused, as well as those in their immediate family, is unimaginable! Priyadarshni Mattoo. Aruna Shanbaug. A 2-year old. A 5-year old. A 23-year old. A 42-year old. An 80-year old. Delhi. Bombay. Chennai. Kolkata. Guwahati. India. Motherland. It's anarchy in it's most Draconian avatar! By the way, in the (extremely!) private sector (Corporates, how about engaging with your esteemed consumers, however common, through CSR?), a boss MIGHT lose his job if he loses the confidence of his own people; since you and all your colleagues in the Parliament have (thoroughly!) FAILED, why not be a complete man and follow Suit?!
