We all know that Delhi is the rape capital, Mumbai is the crime capital and India is one country which has its own standing in terms of economy, crime and war. But, still we don’t know why the hell crime exists, rape happens and history is made.
One of my close friends rightly said that we punish the culprits but do we really understand as to what made him/her do the crime or rape. Rape not always happen because of lust and frustration but sometimes because the person doesn’t want any kind of retaliation from the victim which forces the person to do rape of children with an average age of 5-7 years. Crime (apart from rape) on the other hand has lot many reasons which range from illiteracy, dying need for money to killing a person for money (known as “supari”).
What we need to do as a society, and I guess ministers can play a helping hand in this, is to identity the root cause and deal with it in a way so that we sustain a healthy environment for the future. Identifying root cause is a major challenge but I believe we will get a breather once we go to jails and talk to people (so called criminals) over there and understand their plight. This will help us focus on the areas which should be dealt with first. The results will not come instantly but steadily and slowly.
I believe that as citizens of India, we should look around and identify the areas which need to be addressed. Talking doesn’t lead to results but action does. I myself has been a witness to it. Just to site an example, the place where I live has ample parking space but due to some unplanned work done by government agencies, 6 months back, now there are pits in that area which have drastically squeezed the parking space which lead to an argument between 2 gentlemen. In this case, the root cause of the argument is not the parking space but the pits which have not been closed for over six months. Now, I am trying to get them closed by pulling in some laborers and by doing it I might diminish the arguments.
I strongly believe that by doing small things we can and we should help not only our society but our country.
Filed under: Society
choices, yes it about choices we make!
and one more thing, if we look at the overall evolution of crime, i would believe that it emerges from need, gets into habit, moves to profession, and then to lifestyle and eventually you are stuck in it, you have nothing else to do.
lines from a song i m listening these days all the time:
When you want more than you have, you think you need…
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place…
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.
nice though man … you expressed the feelings all the way…
heya!!!!very nice thoughts n jotted down brilliantly….actually i believe d same!!! Dese days v all r nt even scared of bomblasts n rape attempts..its like ne other news 4 us….gud job dun ankit!!!
yup, its like same old story again and again in the newspapers and each passing day the average age of the girls being raped dips by a year….
We need to do something about it.
Hi all,
First of all I would like to congratulate the person who started this topic about crime!!
And how do someone like us general public know what crime is and people like us, I do not think that we have seen the face of crime yet!!! I am absolutely sure it will as disgusting as anything…
Now some crimes from PAST: WHY did Jack the Ripper British Serial Killer, kill all those people… may be just for fun or a crime was done on his part and to avenge that he tok down all those innocent people. Now it is law to protect yourself when your life is in danger right!!! Jack the ripper did not kill all those people in nessecity but in rage and yes there was lot of Injustice done on him part. So the question is was Ripper the criminal or the people who did a act of crime on him.
So we are no one to judge if some one has done crime or not, who knows on whom the crime has done on….THINK
Priyam, the thing you talked about doesn’t arise out of need but happens because of some mental illness. I am not at all saying that do not punish the criminals, they should be for right reasons but, at the same time, we should identify as to what made them criminals so that we can make some efforts to stop some people from becoming criminals.
If a person has commit a crime, no matter of what magnitude, he is a criminal and should be punished.
Absolutely they should be punished, but what I am saying is that not guilty unless proven and in addition to that we are no person to judge the crime and not the criminal as we do not know under what circumstances the person commited the crime.
And as far as taking some steps is concerned yes we should do it, stopping the muggers from raping innocent children…and there is only one way…do you know what happned in Bihar…we should do the samein Delhi too.
Exactly, we should try to get hold of the circumstances and try to eradicate the same.
The general people punishing the criminals, like the way happened in Bihar, is not the way things should go around. We should make some harsh moves to punish people so that it should send shivers across the whole country.
I would be writing a lot about topics with similar concerns when i start blogging!!
Anyways, good work Ankit. I believe this blog started in the right direction but now things are getting a BIT (and just a bit) haywire.Do you guys think that lynching or mobocracy (whatever you want to call it) will help in eradicating the problem.If you ask me the same question, you will hear a big ‘NO’ .
Right now lets talk about two kind of acts.One in which people are involved in robberies, murders, etc and another in which a lame situation causes person to take extreme action.
The first ONE:
Start thinking friends..do you think these robberies, murders, violence of any other kind happens because the people committing it really enjoys it?Think of a guy who is has a family of 5-6 to feed and no way to earn his bread and butter.He will try to work out quite a few options and just for the sake of his ‘responsibility’ to feed his family, he will do things which we term as heinous, unlawful, ugly act.I believe everything of this sort, can be quoted with a hackneyed and though valid expression:”pet bharne ke liye aadmi kya kya nahi karta”.Give all these guys a direction to carry their life forward and not a place to live or food to eat and things will change drastically.
“Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.” Very good quote…isn’t it..
Second kind of ACT:
There is so much of stress involved in our lives, that even fights for parking spaces have ended up in decreasing the population in good numbers! A person kills three guys because his father was insulted by those three! These acts take place because we all live in such a world where the stress levels are on the verge of blasting our head.Even a small needling by anyone on any lame thing now just opens the cap of ready-to-spill-lava-volcano in our head and in the fit of anger/uncontrolled emotion, the action taken by the person are of extreme nature.
Lets not talk about eradicating the crime..lets talk about problems and issues which cause these crimes.Lets not kill the symptoms of the disease and hear ways to cure THE DISEASE.
Enough thoughts from my side and thanks for bearing and reading patiently my what-came-in-my-head-got-on-the-blog thoughts…Ankit..keep blogging..maybe i get inspired and start ASAP
Mayur, I don’t think you need to start blogging. By writing this comment – an article in itself – you have already started it.
Like I said earlier, the problems and the issues can be well understood by talking to the people who have faced it as there should be no assumptions, then, we will be able to come with a solution or ways to cure to that problem.
Let’s get out of our comfort area and go places which need us. Doctors during their internship go around rural areas to cure people. They don’t go there and give them medicines like the way a doctor does in a clinic. They first go and have a survey as to how the people live in those areas, the problems faced by them, and then they suggest them ways to make that area disease free. They do cure them once by giving them medicines but then doctor have done their bit by telling them ways not to get ill thereafter.

And my comments are on the way …!
This is the first time I am reading any of these blogs n attempting to leave a comment.
Much a-do has already been made i can see, about how to curb crime n what not! Pretty much my thoughts are already there on the page…still…
Priyam, life is not fair to everybody, true. But that does not mean that EVERY crime committed has it roots in the psyche of the criminal coz of “sum injustice done unto him/her in d past”…!!! If that was the case, everybody who walks the face of this earth would become a looter, murderer, rapist, arsonist…wot not!
I agree, sum victimisers are themselves sumtimes victims if fate n circumstances…but such is not always the case, And when its not, I believe just punishment is justified.
Mayur, in which category do we put those hit n run cases which involve kids of rich big guns (as the crime-committer of course!!
) ….that occur more often than not due to their negligence or drunken driving n poor hapless road dwellers get killed? Its neither due to their having no money (lord knows they hv more than they can handle…which is y such incidents actually take place!!)…nor i hope (!!!) due to “stress” in their lives (all those credit cards, late nite partying, booze et al… cannot be DAT stressful now, can it?)
ah well…. jus to make it clear…was not badgering anybody’s opinion out here… just wrote down my thoughtsabout ur thoughts… i hope in d nicest possible way i could!
hope it makes for a further healthy discussion… cheers u guys! doing a gud job over here!
