From last few days the rape of a girl in UP hogged the headlines in the newspapers of India. How can a man be so sinister as to rape a 19 year old girl? How can one possibly think of quenching one’s lust using the innocent body? The materialism which has kept in our lives has denuded us of all moral values and now the entities left of our world are the ever-busy individuals living in an ever bulging concrete jungle.
One has a right to say that it is a crime against humanity. There can never ever be any mercy for a rapist. A rapist deserves the strictest possible punishment. The punishment should serve as a deterrent for the entire society. The rape in general should be punished in such a way that the general public sees as something totally unpardonable.
The scene in the metropolitan cities of India is very bad when it comes to the security of women.
All of a sudden people in calibrate whispers are asking each other the silent questions: what is wrong with us? What is wrong with our education system? What is wrong with our moral education?

On the other hand Kashmiri’s have been safeguarding and providing exemplary hospitality and safety to tourists from around the world. Thanks to Almighty, Kashmir is considered to be the safest place. Despite most of the European countries and the US posting adverse travel advisories on Kashmir, the region continues to be a safe destination for tourists.
A few days ago, a National Crime Record Bureau report reveals that no case of crime against foreigners emerged in J&K during 2016, 2017 and 2018. “There was no case of violence, sexual assault, rape, forgery, theft and cheating reported from Jammu and Kashmir against the foreigners who visited the region in these years,” it says.
The UP incident has sent shivers down the spines of every conscious citizen across the world. All we can say is, let our daughters walk our streets safe and secure.
