Into that heaven of freedom

What have people become?

That was my reaction seven years ago when Jyoti Singh was raped brutally and left to die a traumatic death. There was outrage. And then the usual legal process. One of those animals is out on the streets today, leading a normal life because of the legal process.

Maybe that explains the cheering today when policemen bypassed the legal process and carried on the execution themselves.

What does that say about our country? Our systems? 

This was a crime the police could have prevented. That would have been cause to cheer.

This was a crime which shouldn't have happened in a civil society. That would be the day to cheer.

But you know what? Even though I am scared of a state where the people who should be keeping us safe become killers, for this one time, I am glad. I hope it sends a message to animals like these. The police has showed it can hunt down the criminals and even kill them in cold blood. They should be able to stop them so that no woman has to go through this in the country again. That would be worth cheering indeed.
