Victimology moves the other way round. It looks for the punishment of the convict from the point of view of the victim i.e. is the punishment sufficient to properly compensate for the act? Even Supreme Court, in one of its judgments, has said that the punishment should be proportional to the act done.
We just move by the word of the book. If 2 months are there, we would be taking 2 months, without even putting both of them in a balance and finding out if it is just.
Then we have the people who are against death sentence. May I ask them why ?? Probably because you have not lost any dear one of yours yet. May you never get to lose any one of yours but you need to feel by being in the shoes of the people who have !!!! These shitty Human Right buggers always come up for the human rights of the convict. May I ask them if there is no human right of the deceased or if there is no human right of his mother, father, wife, children. With each death, there is not one but many more slow deaths which happen as a Side Effect !!!
Get real guys. We need to be stringent with these people. Have you ever thought why arabian countries have lesser crime ?? It is because there are strict towards the wrong doers. Stop crying Barbarism. See the practical success. I am not saying that absorb them as it is. Absorb the spirit i.e. being stricter in your laws. For the rape cases, for example, we have the maximum punishment of 10 years, which is again less but even that we seldom see. Most of the time, the convict gets a 7 year term. Imagine, someone commits a rape at the age of 23, gets a 7 year term and is out at the age of 30. Do you think he has lost something? He is still capable enough to have a new life. But can the victim of rape get a new life ? What have you given Her ??!!?? A life long stigma, a slow death. India is not as broad minded as western countries and you know that !!! Has any proposal of the government ever come out for the rehabilitation of the rape victims? No. It may be argued that by doing that you may seem like separating them from society but any counselling sessions or anything which can dampen the thought of that horrifying incident? Has anything been done by you?
Like I said in my FB status that only way to get things done is throw someone of these people in the situation. I remember that, earlier, the statements of the rape or molestation victims were recorded in Open Court subjecting the victim to immense shame and humiliation. It was only after the daughter of a Judge was molested that they took a decision of recording them behind closed walls. Why ? Your daughter has a respect, other's daughter doesn't ?
There was a proposal for the death penalty for rape. But that proposal seems to have died its own death, probably because the politicians don't want to dig a ditch for their own selves. I am not pointing the finger at the politicians in person (though you never know). I am talking about the goons they harbor. If such law comes up, they may be in hot waters. Like I always maintain, politicians never think of the nation.
Machiavelli was the father of politics. He did say that to gain the power, every single move is justified for politics is meant to gain and hold the power. But for the betterment of the nation. Just getting the power and misusing it all the time is not going to do you any good, you politicians !!!!
If this will be the state of affairs, after sometime, use of the word "Politician" for someone would be perfect ground to bring a suit of defamation against someone. I so wish it happens !!!
