Whipping:
Our lawmakers are requested to seriously consider re-introduction of the Indian Whipping Act for the offences rape/molestation and eve-teasing (Remember that the British ruled us by freely using the provisions of this dreaded Act). The Indian Penal Code can be suitably amended. There should be provision of a mandatory minimum of 12 lashes to be given in a public place for proven offences of rape/molestation and say ten for eve-teasing.
Physical Castration:
Make castration of the offenders found guilty by courts mandatory, and I am not suggesting chemical castration. I would recommend such offenders be physically castrated. Do you know the difference between a raging bull and a calm ox? Physical castration. So physically castrate the rapists weather they are 17 years or 74 years old!
Photos of castrated rapists on TV:
Follow this up by showing photos of the castrated offenders faces on the TV.
Set up 500 special courts:
So in the meantime let Government set up 500 special courts to try the existing pendency of one lakh rape cases under the existing laws of the land. Hearing should be on a day to day basis and cases finished within 180 days. Imagine one lakh rapists (if proven guilty) getting stiff sentences within the next six months.
Data base of rapists in public domain:
Government had announced that it will prepare a data base along with photographs of those convicted of rape. One wonders what is the present status of such a preparation. One also hopes that such a data base would be in the public domain. And, imagine again, one lakh names and photos being added to this data base .
Tell me what would you prefer to see in India - women being raped/molested/teased in public or the offenders of such crimes being whipped in public, and castrated, following the due process of law? Now don't tell be that whipping in public would be uncivilised, barbaric and primitive as if raping, molestation and eve- teasing are less uncivilised, heinous and barbaric crimes!
