The Nirbhaya episode was a dastardly and cowardly act which had shaken the collective consciousness of the entire nation. It showed utter disrespect to a living soul and what a human mind could do collectively to another fellow being. That such things are possible and humans are capable of doing such acts was a shock to most of the people. Now, that the justice has been done to the perpetrators of this crime, is a great win for the justice system of our nation.
At the same time, celebration and jubilation of this nature is unwarranted. Although the verdict (Capital punishment) will hopefully deter people in doing such acts, it must not be forgotten that it is ultimately human life with which we are dealing. Celebration of the end of life, in whatever form or for whatever reasons, is not a good idea. It is chilling to hear it on radio and television when people talk about it as if it were a cricket match victory. It speaks how much we have degenerated collectively as humans and as a nation.
We need to change the psyche of the people and the society so that there is no disrespect for the living being and no such acts are repeated ever again.
