The rapists
of the Delhi gang rape have been convicted and it is the rope for them. It has brought closure for many,. But I am troubled by the many posts I am seeing in the social media. Are they rejoicing? Let us
not rejoice. Nor celebrate. A mother now has the burden of a son who has
been sent to the gallows. A sister
probably is now shedding a tear for a brother lost forever. A father wondering what wrong he did to beget
a son like this. At best, let us let of
a sigh….. a sigh that justice worked. And let us wonder what, going ahead we
should do that we have no rape…….

Hello Sir,
I understand your rationale behind saying, "Let us not rejoice". The joy that people exude is for the feeling that finally justice did prevail. Finally, those that were found guilty were punished. It is more about the resurrection of their faith in the system rather than death for someone. The euphoria is about the fact that those involved in a crime so brutal, so shameful, were given what they deserved. Yes, they are somebody's children too, but then the celebration is keeping in mind, that they had the courage to commit a crime as heinous as this.
Somerset Maugham had written that we are all "creatures of circumstance".
