The actions taken by the police in Hyderabad were not appropriate for a democratic system. This case could have been resolved through the judicial system, and such cases should be handled within a specific timeline. While the accused could be publicly hanged, it should be done democratically. Lynching and encounters are not solutions to any problem. The government should enact stricter laws to protect girls in the country.
After the Nirbhaya case in 2012, we did not learn any lessons. Thousands of rape cases have occurred since then, and hundreds of fast-track courts were established, but have we seen any results? A big NO. We must review our past actions to make our country safer for girls. I see no signs of progress. It is really disappointing that the world now sees India as the "Rape Capital." There is no single city where girls can walk alone safely at night. There are many questions to answer, but the biggest one is, who will provide the answers?

Our social structure is unbalanced, and there are many insecurities in society. We—people, society, the nation, religion, corporations, media, government, democracy, and the judiciary system—are all responsible for this environment. It has been 72 years since we gained independence, but do you think we have truly achieved freedom? A big NO again. At that time, we were slaves to the British; now, we are slaves to these democratic bandits. One of them once said, "Boys will be boys; they make mistakes in their youth." We are slaves to a male-dominant mentality that suggests men can do anything.
We are also slaves to a judiciary system that takes decades to decide whether the accused is guilty or not. We are slaves to thoughts planted by media houses that don't understand the seriousness of the matter and view every news story as just a way to boost their ratings. Families are responsible for this too, as they dictate what girls should wear, where they can go, how to sit, and how to stand. Yet, they fail to teach their sons how to behave, manners, the value of girls, and that they are actually equal. They don't teach them what should matter and what should not. Society is also responsible, as it always brings in aspects of religion and caste into these crimes.

Our society is lagging in moral values. This era should be about teaching everyone lessons and making everyone civilized. Moral values and proper sex education must be integrated into the education system from the root level. People need to learn how to behave with girls and women. We often place girls on a pedestal, calling them goddesses, yet our actions do not reflect that respect. Don't give them divine titles—just treat them like human beings. That would be a great start.
We can't solve this problem with candle marches alone. No one can solve this problem by themselves. We, the people, the government, society, and the judiciary system all need to come together to address this issue. We are late, but much can still be changed if we start today. If we don't work to solve this, future generations and Bharat Mata will never forgive us. We have the chance to rise and do something. As someone wisely said, "All's well that ends well." We must create an environment for the upcoming generation where they can live without these problems.
