Thank you both! :D

I've found this subject to be the trickiest of problems the society faces. On one hand, you have people who rape and murder and on the other you have the objective of reforming them. Locking them up in prisons where they just vacation on the taxpayers' money seems kind of ridiculous to me. Finishing them off seems too cruel. What I know is that our current justice system is slow, incompetent and basically useless. I know the judges are overworked, I know that argument... but that argument is now old. It's time we found a solution to that. While Raj Thackeray roams free for all the violence he instigates, a labourer is conveniently thrown in jail for sleeping on the street. People don't report rapes, thefts because they know the police and judges are hand-in-glove with the criminals. Capital Punishment can wait. We need to cleanse the system first.

I don't know why all the hate is being directed at the author. But then, even you readers are are entitled to your opinion. Let's all just keep it sane here... no personal attacks. If you really don't like what you read, don't waste your time... just don't comment. Criticism is welcome but lets all be civilized.

The very first line says "...my opinion".

They do nothing. Most of the crowd is of the hostelers from Punjab University. Guys there are usually drunk... they'll pick fights on petty issues and the cops do nothing. Not only are the cops against the timings, they initially wanted the Municipal Corporation which runs the food street to depute private security guards. It was only after the MC refused and declared that it's the duty of the police to provide security at public places did the police have no choice but to permanently depute their PCR there. I find it really sick that women in even cities like Chandigarh are treated this way. I've been here for more than 20 years now... the situation keeps getting worse. The crowd from interior Punjab... sons of bureaucrats, ministers from UT, Punjab, Haryana... kids of cops... everyone feels Chandigarh is their own city and they can pretty much do anything and get away with it. The drawback of living in a small city... everyone knows everyone!

The culture in Gurgaon is radically different... Chandigarh is still medieval. A girl standing with a bunch of guys is loose and one wearing a skirt is definitely a whore - it's that bad. The beauty is all cosmetic. The standard of living is indeed high as compared to the rest of the nation but the exposure here is zero. The people still have their own weird notions and they live in this bubble that Chandigarh is superior. They don't look beyond that. How can I say all this? Because like I said before, I've lived here my entire life.

The cops stationed there do nothing. A woman was molested and pulled out of her car while everyone watched. It's safe till it's 11PM. After that, if you're a girl, you're at your own risk.

Issue fixed.

Just a little tweak to your thinking mechanism changes the perspective entirely!

The right path is the path you believe in, in my opinion. The path you choose may depend upon your situation, the environment, the circumstances and a variety of other factors. What may seem good to us, might be actually foolish in that situation. As they say, "Jis tan laage, us tan jaane"... Every human has a basic sense of ethics and morality in him. It depends upon us how we perceive those ethics and rules and how we implement them in our decisions. These are situations in which either way you end up doing something wrong. We judge what is best based upon our own priorities.

Well, thank you so much! The excruciating pain after getting my face screwed up by seemingly harmless strands of thread made me realize what all women do for us men!
