How Indian judiciary has failed to serve justice to rape victims

India is the largest democracy in the world with a population of 1.3 billion people. Democracy is a rule of people but the judiciary system of the world’s largest democracy has failed to serve justice to rape victims in our country. Can we really call this democracy when millions of people are lighting candles, protesting for justice and it is not served to them despite having all the proof?

The Indian Judiciary has been lagging in serving justice to the oppressed. Years ago Nirbhaya rape case was ruling over news channels and newspapers, the story of how brutally nirbhaya was raped and killed is heinous. We were ashamed to not protect our daughter from those monsters but even after the pleas from every Indian asking to hang the rapists, justice was prolonged for years. Nirbhaya died in 2012 and after 8 years of continuous struggle on 20 march 2020, the rapists were hanged to death. The case that shook the entire country took 8 years for the Indian judiciary to conclude despite having all the evidence. What do we call India, a rule of People?

Nirbhaya is not the only victim but there are thousands of others who have not received justice yet. It’s no secret that women in India are not safe. Rape is the fourth most common crime in our country with 88 cases daily on average according to 2019 reports of NCRB. The reason behind that is rapists do not fear the punishment, They believe they can do what they wish and they will manage to find a way out of the police case, which in many cases they do get out without punishments.

Rape is forcing yourself on someone sexually, it does not matter who the victim is. It can be a male or female, married or single. Rape is rape but the Indian judiciary does not believe the same as in India martial rape is not illegal. Once the Chhattisgarh high court said, “ Since the complainant is the legally wedded wife of the accused, any sexual act will not be considered as raped even if it was by force or against her will.”

Madhya Pradesh High Court once served justice to a victim by asking her to tie Rakhi to a molester. Bombay High Court says “groped a child without removing her clothes” it cannot be considered as a sexual assault as there was no skin-to-skin contact. Whereas Karnataka high court granted bail to the accused of rape, criminal intimidation, and cheating by saying “ It is unbecoming of Indian women”  to go to sleep after she is ravished. 

This is the reason why many women do not file a complaint and many times Indians take the matter into their hands. Such absurd statements degrade the value of the justice system in India. We should stop calling India “ world’s Largest democracy” when the rulers do not get justice themselves.

Before the T20 World Cup, Yuzvendra Chahal said, “Pakistan has a good squad, however…”

Before the T20 World Cup, Yuzvendra Chahal said, “Pakistan has a good squad, however…”

Team India has already started preparing for the T20 World Cup, which starts on October 16, after finishing the T20 International matches against South Africa. The Men in Blue played a warm-up game against Western Australia and will play one more game before opening their campaign on October 23 against Pakistan in Melbourne.

The same thing was done by Team India in the last competition, which resulted in a difficult 10-wicket loss for the Men in Blue to Babar Azam and his team. Although Pakistan boasts of an equally outstanding line-up group, the fans are expecting for a change in fate with a new captain and coach.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who will participate in his maiden T20 World Cup match, discussed the contest and noted that having already faced Pakistan, he won’t feel much pressure. The spinner said in an exclusive interview with Dainik Jagran that when you’ve faced a specific opponent before, you don’t worry as much the second time around.

Prior to the match versus Pakistan, the media and internet have created a lot of excitement. However, for those of us who play cricket, this is just another game, and the pressure increases if we feel it. I use the internet pretty frequently, but I don’t allow myself to be disturbed by what is said online.

He also praised Pakistan as a strong squad, but he added that the team’s primary emphasis is on its performance. “Pakistan is a good team, but the only thing that matters is how we play. Everything depends on how you play on game day, therefore that is the most crucial factor, he continued.

Team India’s total in the match against Pakistan last year was 151/7 after 20 overs. With the exception of Virat Kohli, the Pakistani pace attack, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, destroyed the top order. In response, Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan successfully defended the goal with 13 extra balls. Since then, India and Pakistan have faced off twice, with each team earning a victory. This time around, it’s still unclear if Afridi would participate in the competition.

As the anticipation for the T20 World Cup builds, Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal shared his thoughts on Pakistan’s team, sparking conversations among fans and cricket enthusiasts. Speaking candidly in an interview, Chahal acknowledged Pakistan’s strong squad, saying, “Pakistan has a good squad, however, the game depends on how you perform on the day.”

Chahal emphasized that while talent and team composition matter, cricket is unpredictable, and key matches often hinge on who handles pressure better. He noted that Pakistan has several match-winners, but consistency and execution will play a crucial role in their campaign. “It’s not just about individual brilliance,” he said, “but how the entire team comes together in crunch situations.”

The spinner also spoke about India’s preparations for the tournament, highlighting the team’s focus on building momentum and working on strategies tailored to different opponents. He expressed confidence in India’s squad, saying they have a balanced team capable of adapting to varying conditions. “We’ve learned from past games and are working to minimize errors,” he added.

Chahal’s remarks reflect the mutual respect between cricketing nations while acknowledging the high stakes of the World Cup. His level-headed approach underscores the importance of staying focused amidst the hype surrounding marquee clashes like India vs. Pakistan. Fans eagerly await the electrifying encounters ahead, hoping for thrilling performances and Rizwan successfully defended the goal to unforgettable moments.
