The curious case of Ruchika

All of us are now familiar and synonymous with one name and that is Ruchika. Her suicide and the case is now the talk of the media. Most of the people want the case to reopen and to enquire the whole case and the role of inspector rathore again. Lets leave this case alone. Its not just an one off incident. There are thousands of incidents like this which happens in our neighborhood almost daily. Fortunately this case has been struck in the vicious eye of media which has quadrupled and multiplied this case with most of the channels allotting a particular slot daily for the big fight and debates about the case. From the neutral perspective there are numerous things to ponder... What is media's role in the reopening of the case..? What if the cop is totally innocent (which is improbable as the present scenario but its not impossible)..? what will the media do after a week..? (will there be a follow through for a year if the fresh case is dragged till then ??) What is the fate of ordinary people who feel the wrath of people with power..?

As i thought of these numerous questions they all lead and merge to a single point which is the abuse of power.. The abuse of power is not new.. every politician is abusing is power (although there are exceptions in some cases).. every government authority is abusing and exploiting his power.. the case of ruchika is just the visible tip of the iceberg.. what about the thousands of victims who have had the same experience or worse and have faded into oblivion due to the lack of exposure and support..? there seem to be no answer for these types of questions..

It is also interesting how people debate about the abuse and exploitation of power while they themselves have done that in various smaller degrees.. the same men and women who keep sending sms messages which are displayed in those news channels would have surely abused and bribed in their lives a lot. If you cant change the system.? why complain about it and shout un necessarily..? Is there any meaning in requesting a reopening of the case..? Do they have any idea how much tax payer's money has been spent in these cases..? How many thousands of necessary problems and cases regarding them are bypassed...? do the common man even care truly about these exploitations..? the answer is a sharp and blatant 'no' !!

Whatever we see, whatever we may talk, whatever we argue, we are still the part of the same system and we more than anybody seem to be liking the system and that's why we don't do anything to change the same. The abuse of power which is usual in most of the cases being stalled at supreme court and the other smaller courts can be quashed using the same abuse of power. What if the cop bribes a news channel and it changes the whole plot that he is innocent..? The people will in fact start thinking he is innocent.? Do anybody care about the 1000 crore scam of the former Jharkand CM now..? people seem to have a very low memory power and media doesn't care for accuracy the way they care for trp and circulation.

So, instead of crying over spilled milk we can try to be strong enough from now on.. moving forward each and every person should ensure that he/she must not abuse his power and exploit his responsibility. Only then these things will stop and there will be no need for shouting and lighting candles and those crappy tweets, debates and sms messages.
