I find myself frustrated by people craving for capital punishment when all evidence points to its uselessness as an effective deterrent. I hope some sociologists and psychologists will study and help us understand why so many men in India are exhibiting such repulsive behaviour. Obviously, there is a lot that is wrong with our society. What should we fix first and who will do it?
A friend was suggesting a couple of months ago that the increase in the rape incidents in Haryana may be a direct consequence of mothers and fathers aborting the girl children and leading to a shameful ratio of girls to boys.
However, the protests in Delhi may result in one minor irritant being reduced. Hopefully, we will see a reduction in the security for the VIP's. Ideally, all MP's or MLA's showing off their cars with a light on top trailed by gun wielding police should lose elections. But I suspect that most people are not as angered by such vulgar display power and ownership of the public infrastructure as I am.
