Twenty sixth January 2014 dawned, and sun
unfolded its affectionate wings to embrace every being in the national capital
of Delhi,deprived of its warmth for the past few days.
Flipping through the pages of a national
daily,in the back drop of the fun and frolic of the republic day parade, my
eyes ceased at a headline in the editorial..I felt as if the commemoration was
ambiguous, sprinkled and immersed in plentiful instances of the fragmentation
of the above mentioned tenets.
It
talked about self proclaimed justice delivering associations , in remote villages of a state.
A girl given the punishment of being married to a man ,almost twice her age,
and the reason? her father was caught eveteasing the daughter of a landlord. Since
the father couldn’t afford the monetary penalty, the onus fell on the daughter
to bear upon her, the severity. Who were these people who promulgated this
justice? Why a daughter is seeked to exhibit upon herself the punishment
rendered as a remedial measure to the wrong done by her father?
