Marching
with candles along with the massive crowd seems to be much easier than to go
out of our way, give our precious time, answer all the police and hospital
enquiries, spoil our clothes, do all the running around and ultimately what we
earn is “Getting into trouble for life” and this is the sole reason people stay
miles away from getting into difficult cases because even the police are
corrupted. You will not even realize when your act of kindness backfires and
becomes a cause of YOUR distress, here breeds the policy of “Safe Play” which
has always been in vogue for ages together.
The apprehensions people harbor in their hearts needs to be catered first and healed. There are many, in fact most of them who want to help the helpless but they restrict themselves owing to the pragmatism of the harassment post assistance. Candle Marches have now become an event to show the country’s support and concern for the people who cry for justice in this fraudulent place, who look upon innocents as the culprits and the culprits are on eternal parole. As a matter of fact, it is because of the strong joint support from the fellow countrymen – the perpetrators of Jessica Lal and Nirbhaya case were crucified.

Had
there been no Candle March, had there been no public agitation, had there been
no pressure on the moral monitors, had there been no human chains formed, had
there been no pressure on the politicians, had there been no demands on the law
enforcers, I am sure things would have been absolutely different at present.
Where
there is goodness, there is evil,
Where
there is darkness, there is light,
Where
there is doubt, there is faith
Everyone
cannot be present everywhere so these marches work as platforms to express our
sensitivity, our respect, our oneness, our moral support to the victim and the
family. This support indeed gives a lot of strength, boosting and courage to
fight for justice.
Of
course, I wouldn’t deny that there are plenty of phony enthusiasts who merely
take pictures, show off on the social media circle, are public attention
seekers, want to market themselves and especially their organizations / movies
/ products etc. But this big wide world cannot be devoid of such hypocrites and
criminals, who believe in that if they fake it, they will make it. A lot of
them do but you know what you are and there is no escape to it.
India,
boasts of a democratic country though the democracy is not judiciously or
wisely or completely utilized. Many keep shut fearing the society insults,
losing honour and are more bothered about their self image.
I
would quote Michael Jackson here,
“Heal
the World,
Make it a better place,
For you and for me and for the entire human race”.
Make it a better place,
For you and for me and for the entire human race”.

People conveniently ignore a girl in distress or an accident victim on the road, but would enthusiastically march with candles in hand for a cause. Why? #Doublefaceofsociety
