The sooner the realization is, the better it is for the country.

Like your country, here also in India, there are professional protesters who are either paid ones or have personal gains in attending the protests. But the recent protests all over the country for the gang rape in Delhi was quite different from the so called protests organized by the political parties to gain their political gains. It was a spontaneous protest by common people who came on the streets with slogans and placards in hands demanding for severe punishment of the culprits. No political party was allowed to get access into this non- political mass protest movement of common people, though some parties tried a lot to infiltrate into it. The reason behind the spontaneous protest by common people was that they could easily identify themselves and their families with the unfortunate victim and her family. Common people have no faith in the political parties which do not care to think for the welfare of common people, on the contrary, only think for their own personal or political gains. This old trick played by the political parties is now an open secret to all. Each and every time after such a brutal act of rape the political leaders shed crocodile tears for the victim condemning the rape and demand for a stern action against the rapist but at the same time, afford shelter to the rapist to the contrary. So, it is now time to change their mentality, if they fail to do so and do not call a spade a spade, the biggest democracy in the world may be at stake. The outrage was also the result of an erosion of faith in the justice delivery system. Law is perceived as impotent in the face of grave injustice. The justice delivery system is so slow that it often arouses suspicion about its existence. So both the government and the political parties should take a lesson from it and act accordingly; otherwise, it might be too late to try for the desired rectification in the near future.
