Garv say kaho ki hum nastik hain..

While strong dignified protests are being registered by the young throughout India, unfortunate news of rapes of girls and women are still pouring in from various parts of the country. We have been told that there is a God. But is there a God? We have been told that God is omniscient, omni-present and omni-potent. Is the God really omnisciient,omni-present and omni-potent? The innocent get pain and suffering and are told that this is the result of their negative karmas of previous birth and that the good behavior of this life would be rewarded in the next life. But the crooked are flourishing, protests the innocent good person. Oh, that is because they did good karmas in their last life. But they are leading a bad amoral life, feebly protests the innocent good person. Oh, dont you worry, they would be punished for their bad karmas of the present life in their next life. Would a fair, just and kind God do this? No. The pain being inflicted on the innocent in this world shows that there is no God. There is no God, let alone a God who punishes the wicked and rewards the good. God's 'Heavenly Penal Code'has failed as much as our Indian Penal Code in saving women from rape and dishonour. So let us keep God out of this. Garv say kaho ki ham nastik hain! (i) Let action be taken to set up fast track courts and the pending one lakh cases be disposed off within six months- by 30.6.2013. (ii) Introduce compusory physical castration and whipping, besides strong sentence for those convicted of rape. I am aware that my outburst is more a result of anguish than considered logical thinking...
