&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The true worth of a modern nation lies in its treatment of women and children. Sadly, India still has a long way to go before it can measure up to such standards. The spate of recent rapes in Haryana of at least 15 women, including dalit teenage girls, has renewed focus on the inefficacy of the law and order machinery. In place of a policy of zero tolerance towards those who commit such crimes, we have a situation of zero political will.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Consider some outrageous outbursts emanating from political leaders. According to the august Dharamvir Goyat, Congress spokesperson in Haryana, 90 per cent of rapes are the result of consensual sex. A day later state education minister Geeta Bhukkal saw behind rapes not consensual sex, but a conspiracy against the Haryana government. This is a new excuse seemingly put abroad by the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, when Mamata Banerjee described a rape case as being fabricated to malign her government. What we are being asked to believe is that the real victims in cases of sexual assault, sometimes followed by murder or suicide, are the respective state governments!
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Now consider the horrific reality of some of these cases. On October 7, a 16-year-old dalit girl set herself on fire after being gangraped. Reportedly, a cop stood guard while the culprits committed the crime inside the house. If a cop can be assigned to be on watch, or recorded evidence freely circulated through MMS clips - as happened in a similar case last month - it suggests a high degree of confidence on the part of perpetrators that the law will not catch up with them.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The growing visibility of women in public spaces, and their increasing assertion of rights, may have triggered a patriarchal backlash - which is in turn encouraged by the lack of visible action or indeed of articulation by the political class. An all-out effort must be made to bring up the conviction rate for rape. Proper prosecution and strict legal action will prove an important deterrent. At the same time special cells and fast track courts must be set up to deal with gender based crimes. Law enforcers must be trained and sensitized to deal with victims of sexual crimes. The law has to be implemented relentlessly so that offenders face the full force of justice.

Sadly, India still has a long way to go before it can measure up to such standards. The spate of recent rapes in Haryana of at least 15 women, including dalit teenage girls, has renewed focus on the inefficacy of the law and order machinery. In place of a policy of zero tolerance towards those who commit such crimes, we have a situation of zero political will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Consider some outrageous outbursts emanating from political leaders. According to the august Dharamvir Goyat, Congress spokesperson in Haryana, 90 per cent of rapes are the result of consensual sex. A day later state education minister Geeta Bhukkal saw behind rapes not consensual sex, but a conspiracy against the Haryana government. This is a new excuse seemingly put abroad by the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, when Mamata Banerjee described a rape case as being fabricated to malign her government. What we are being asked to believe is that the real victims in cases of sexual assault, sometimes followed by murder or suicide, are the respective state governments!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Now consider the horrific reality of some of these cases. On October 7, a 16-year-old dalit girl set herself on fire after being gangraped. Reportedly, a cop stood guard while the culprits committed the crime inside the house. If a cop can be assigned to be on watch, or recorded evidence freely circulated through MMS clips - as happened in a similar case last month - it suggests a high degree of confidence on the part of perpetrators that the law will not catch up with them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The growing visibility of women in public spaces, and their increasing assertion of rights, may have triggered a patriarchal backlash - which is in turn encouraged by the lack of visible action or indeed of articulation by the political class. An all-out effort must be made to bring up the conviction rate for rape. Proper prosecution and strict legal action will prove an important deterrent. At the same time special cells and fast track courts must be set up to deal with gender based crimes. Law enforcers must be trained and sensitized to deal with victims of sexual crimes. The law has to be implemented relentlessly so that offenders face the full force of justice.&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The true worth of a modern nation lies in its treatment of women and children. Sadly, India still has a long way to go before it can measure up to such standards. The spate of recent rapes in Haryana of at least 15 women, including dalit teenage girls, has renewed focus on the inefficacy of the law and order machinery. In place of a policy of zero tolerance towards those who commit such crimes, we have a situation of zero political will.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Consider some outrageous outbursts emanating from political leaders. According to the august Dharamvir Goyat, Congress spokesperson in Haryana, 90 per cent of rapes are the result of consensual sex. A day later state education minister Geeta Bhukkal saw behind rapes not consensual sex, but a conspiracy against the Haryana government. This is a new excuse seemingly put abroad by the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, when Mamata Banerjee described a rape case as being fabricated to malign her government. What we are being asked to believe is that the real victims in cases of sexual assault, sometimes followed by murder or suicide, are the respective state governments!
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Now consider the horrific reality of some of these cases. On October 7, a 16-year-old dalit girl set herself on fire after being gangraped. Reportedly, a cop stood guard while the culprits committed the crime inside the house. If a cop can be assigned to be on watch, or recorded evidence freely circulated through MMS clips - as happened in a similar case last month - it suggests a high degree of confidence on the part of perpetrators that the law will not catch up with them.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The growing visibility of women in public spaces, and their increasing assertion of rights, may have triggered a patriarchal backlash - which is in turn encouraged by the lack of visible action or indeed of articulation by the political class. An all-out effort must be made to bring up the conviction rate for rape. Proper prosecution and strict legal action will prove an important deterrent.

The recent spate of Haryana rapes shows up the callousness of politicians and law enforcers

-The Times of India The true worth of a modern nation lies in its treatment of women and children. Sadly, India still has a long way to go before it can measure up to such standards. The spate of recent rapes in Haryana of at least 15 women, including dalit teenage girls, has renewed focus on the inefficacy of the law and order machinery. In place of a policy of zero tolerance towards those who commit such crimes, we have a situation of zero political will. Consider some outrageous outbursts emanating from political leaders. According to the august Dharamvir Goyat, Congress spokesperson in Haryana, 90 per cent of rapes are the result of consensual sex. A day later state education minister Geeta Bhukkal saw behind rapes not consensual sex, but a conspiracy against the Haryana government. This is a new excuse seemingly put abroad by the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, when Mamata Banerjee described a rape case as being fabricated to malign her government. What we are being asked to believe is that the real victims in cases of sexual assault, sometimes followed by murder or suicide, are the respective state governments! Now consider the horrific reality of some of these cases. On October 7, a 16-year-old dalit girl set herself on fire after being gangraped. Reportedly, a cop stood guard while the culprits committed the crime inside the house. If a cop can be assigned to be on watch, or recorded evidence freely circulated through MMS clips - as happened in a similar case last month - it suggests a high degree of confidence on the part of perpetrators that the law will not catch up with them. The growing visibility of women in public spaces, and their increasing assertion of rights, may have triggered a patriarchal backlash - which is in turn encouraged by the lack of visible action or indeed of articulation by the political class. An all-out effort must be made to bring up the conviction rate for rape. Proper prosecution and strict legal action will prove an important deterrent. At the same time special cells and fast track courts must be set up to deal with gender based crimes. Law enforcers must be trained and sensitized to deal with victims of sexual crimes. The law has to be implemented relentlessly so that offenders face the full force of justice.
