Protests go all over India on today, a week after the gang-rape as the victim fights for her life in the ICU. The protesters marched to the President’s House but no solid response has come from any national leader so far. And the media is providing saturation coverage. Update: The victim died in a Singapore hospital on Saturday, 22nd December, of injuries suffered in the attack.
The male reproductive organ is meant to make love, not war. It contains the most potent and the most powerful human energy of sex. So when this energy goes berserk, all hell breaks loose. Or, rape. This is happening with sickening regularity in India especially in Delhi.
The latest gang-rape of a 23-year old medical student by six barbarians who violated her, injured her, stripped her naked and dumped her with her male friend on the roadside from a moving bus has stunned everyone.
Why is this happening to Indian women? Because the society represses sex. Osho said,
In my commune it is absolutely impossible that anybody should rape. Why? It is always ‘agreed’ sex by mutual attraction.”
When men cannot have sex with women by mutual agreement, they have it by brute force. Why can’t they have sex out of love and romance? Because society forbids them unless they get married. And even after marriage, when they go with another woman, it is against the law. The priests and the politicians have devised these laws to dominate the common people.
So the basic solution is to let people express and not suppress sex. With ‘live-ins’ among the educated, this is starting, but it has a long way to go with the masses. Meanwhile, the sexually suppressed and depraved go on teasing, groping, assaulting and raping women. Now enough is enough for women. This gang rape has triggered massive public outrage in rallies over many days all over India demanding increased police patrols, improved public transport, installing CCTV cameras and fast track justice. But how would punishment, even capital punishment, as many suggest, make a change?
India has to finally look at its attitude on sex!
