Unnao Braveheart- Glory In Death

Rating: 5.0


Unnao victim dead
words can't express her courage
cops faces now red
gender conflict, center stage
the world is watching in rage

half burnt lady ran
and on verge of death she called
an ambulance van;
to kill her, culprits had.gall
by her death, country appalled

cops are bound by law
to protect women victims
but use flaws in laws
to follow culprits dictum
now what is left to, tom-tom?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In Unnao, UP, India, an young lady was sexually assaulted in 2018. She lodged a complaint and two men were arrested. Later the men got bail from the High Court on the condition that they will not interefere with evidence or with the complainant. As the brave young lady was proceeding towards court, she was caught by five men and set on fire. She ran on the road and called an ambulance.But she succumbed a little later. The police seemed to be more keen in protecting the criminals, in-spite of receiving complaints of threat they posed to the victim and her family.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Rajnish Manga 08 December 2019

It's a pity that we live with this system. In Hyderabad, the police kills the rapists in an encounter and the public, by and large, hails it whereas in Unnao, protesting public was lathi-charged with no outcry in mainstream media because the state is run by BJP and the rapists belong to upper caste. Cops.... use flaws in laws to follow culprits dictum...
