Why is it nearly impossible to prosecute monsters, cold-blooded killers and gang-rapists if they happen to wear khaki dresses supplied by the government and their salary is paid by the people, including the victims and their parents and their near and dear ones? Why do they get “different” treatment and trial even in cases of rape and murder? Why? What kind of an organizations’ morale goes down if rape allegations are pursued in normal courts or if alleged rapists in Khaki are treated as alleged rapists without Khaki? What is this morale made up of? If shielding gang-rapists is integral keeping up certain morales, that morale needs to be smashed – for our collective security and sanity. What kind of woman-hating, impunity-promoting culture have we built that all that I have said can be dismissed by the simple, empty tag called “anti-national”. And why does “anti-national” immediately bring in silence. Isnt that silence anti-women, anti-humanity? Are women who are allegedly raped and killed not part of the nation? And attacks on them are not anti-national? How would you characterize a trci-colour force whose members allegedly molest or rape every year, year after year? A case of few bad apples? Would you characterize any other armed group – Islamist, separatist or whatever – with such a track record in the same bad apple way? Is there no poison-tree in this tri-colour garden? There are no nirbhayas. There are “nirbhays”. When they wear Khaki clothes, they are even more “nirbhay”..
