It was July 12,2008 when I sat down to write a blog about Arushi Talwar murder case. I vividly remember, I was heavily drunk with anger and frustration over the incompetency of our Police and those stupid media houses.
It’s been 8 years since, EIGHT YEARS. I can’t believe this putrid case lies just there. And there's been a book and now a movie. I quivered initially at the thought of a movie. I mean, come on, do we really want to see a movie which we know doesn't have a climax? But Arushi has been in my thoughts for a long time now and i wanted to see what the film makers had to say this time around.
I knew everything from the start, all the evidence, all those conspiracy theories, everything. But it still was a gripping watch. Unfortunately, it brought with it all those emotions back. I forget as to what happened in these eight years. Have we given justice to Arushi yet? How is this ccountry so silent ? I know, this is just one of the many cases. I know people tell me there are thousands of Arushi's who haven't got their justice yet.
I guess, in India, we are all in an eternal state of Coma. We will do the right thing and believe in its legal system. Always.
We will let go of a rapist who just happens to be a 17 and half year old poor little juvenile. He is such a child. Period.
Justice will be given. Say, 20 years?
I used to be a patriot. I think I still am. I dare say a wrong thing about my country, ah I have sinned. Well, those were the days. I don’t know if growing up has given me a perspective that I wasn’t exposed to as a child or my country has actually changed or the people in it. Why can’t we find solutions to any problems? Or is it that difficult? We are flourishing, India is marching ahead but are we? Too many questions and too few answers.
Not every country is perfect, they say. Yeah, I agree.
Meanwhile, Arushi is wondering about her Justice… Its high time… she ponders…
