It is perhaps easier for you to argue that 'media is being used for personal score settling' by women but the conviction is real right? The molestation was real right, even if Aradhana or someone from Ruchika's side is lying about the step mother? How does that take away from the issue of molestation or sexual harassment? That is the issue, not anything else in this context.<br /><br />Secondly, even though you are a lawyer, I don't think you understand the method/social processes that go behind making laws. Making of laws/amendments should be mostly preceded by social movements triggered/fed by such events. Sadly, our country scores poorly on account of laws and social movements, both! <br />So there seems no harm, as far as I am concerned, in utilising Rathore’s conviction, however less, as a case study to learn from and Aradhana's guts to speak out, as inspiration to get vocal ourselves. <br />To my mind, what is personal is also political. <br />Obviously you are free to have your view on this, fair enough.Shawetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433511943542741714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582862648991075916.post-3369087112310230522010-07-07T14:35:13.512+05:302010-07-07T14:35:13.512+05:30Completely understand but my concern is what if th...Completely understand but my concern is what if this is personal grudge being settled taking help of the media! That's the larger issue I am concerned with. But anyway thanks for reading and best of luck with your endeavor. There is not a doubt in my mind that women need to be protected and the law of the land needs to be geared for that. Hopefully people will not use such accusations for settling scores which happens often also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582862648991075916.post-58127457017763210912010-07-07T13:52:04.180+05:302010-07-07T13:52:04.180+05:30Thanks for the comment.

Whatever the specifics of Ruchika's case might be, I am trying to relate it with a larger, general reality of lakhs of girls and women of this country. The conviction means a lot to many people. That is the spirit with which I look at this case.Shawetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433511943542741714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582862648991075916.post-65273037015788600602010-07-07T11:51:02.810+05:302010-07-07T11:51:02.810+05:30Maybe you should read this! http://citizenjournali...Maybe you should read this! http://citizenjournalist1234.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Even if you check today's Indian Express you will see how Aradhana, Her Father and Ruchika's own father have lied about Ruchika's stepmother who CBI Have questioned.
