Death to four: medals for millions

The Delhi gangrape caught attention from all parts of the country, social media was flooded with virtual conferences and forums. The participation of youth on this case was indeed a commendable one. An initiative was taken up by a section of students on social media titled, Nirbhaya- Keeping it alive.

The page said out to all their visitors and followers, “She fought a battle with valour but became a lone fighter and that made her Nirbhaya, for she endured a grey crime. But Nirbhaya was never a brave girl who fought to survive; she was a soul that was abused, a crown of misery was placed on her, which became too much for her to tolerate. She embodied subjugation whether at the hand of rapists, or at the hands of a well-meaning society which became despicable. Yes we became despicable, and we forget very easily.
