Sexual assault of a lady in a moving Bus in Delhi

Suddenly I have observed that since the captioned incident occurred in Delhi, be it a print media or electronic media news of rape and sexual assault is being reported from all the nook and corner of the country. All the News Papers are full of such reports. Not only that even the 24*7 News Channels are full of such news. Are we not feeling ashamed after reading or watching these news items. Are we living in a society called a civilised one.

 I was trying to understand why suddenly there is flood of such news in the News Papers and the Electronic Media. There can be two reasons of it.

First: In reality such incidents have increased. If it is so, shame on us and the police of our country. Are we living in a civilized society. Is it the land where Ram, Krishna, Budhha, Mahavir, Vivekanand was born. All their teachings have gone waste. What culture we have imbibed. Are we not supposed to allow the ladies of our country to live with dignity and pride. What right we have got to insult them. What our police are doing? Should they not be punished for failing in their duties? Why they have not been able to give them adequate security? Why the criminals are not afraid of law of our country? 

Second: The incidents were happening earlier also but the same were not being reported. Now suddenly the print and electronic media have become hyper active and are reporting many incidents. If it is so, shame on the media as why they were not reporting such cases earlier and why suddenly they have started reporting. It reflects that they are not interested in public at large but they are interested only in increasing their circulation and the TRP.
