Death of the 16 December Rape Victim is not due to the spread of gangrene and multi-organ failure but due to the gangrenous India and its systems

Just returned from a 6 km long peaceful protest carried out by JNU community - From Ganga Dhaba to the bust stop where The  rape victim boarded the bus, and back to Ganga dhaba. Have the following thoughts about death:

Our society is full of utterly dirty, dreadful gangrenous toxic; the politico-bureaucratic class is the produce of this very toxic; the toxic is deeply entrenched in their minds. Its takes the death of a victim of heinous, horrendous and barbarous crime to talk about this toxic, but nothing happens once the matter dies down. I believe it is not the death of a victim, but the death of free India, if at all India is a free nation; it is not the gangrene that spread to her body, it is the gangrene that is festering in the body of India; it is not the multiple organs failure of the victim, but the multiple organ failure of the Indian system, be it the colonial police, judiciary, bureaucracy, railways and road transport, politics, governance or any other system, it is the failure of these systems where ugly, dirty and gangrenous toxic has alarmingly spread and still festering. I also believe that there is a strata of people in our society across all walks of life who have the conscience and sensitivity as to what needs to be done to this gangrenous toxic; and this is the time to wake up, and kill and remove the gangrenous sections of our systems for once and all, and transplant it with better mechanisms and systems where every citizen men, women, old and young live a dignified life.! Therefore, there is a need for a national campaign and continue the struggle for a better system!
