Abhijit Mukherjee symbolises the perverted,chauvinistic mindset of the male authority with outdated stereotypes of women. In an unguarded moment his real misogynist self was exposed by him. Many politicians, bureaucrats, police officials, public figures, and even some judges have strong sexist bias. They are thus complicit in the increasing number of crimes against women as there is a widespread belief among men that they can get away with sexual harassment or rape of girls and women. FIRs are either not registered or registered reluctantly,investigation is shoddy and unscientific,rape victims and families are often pressurised to withdraw charges,trial is endless,and the quantum of punishment,in many instances, is far from adequate. Otherwise,what is the excuse for a low conviction rate of around 22% during 2009--2011 (source:NCRB ).
The report of the National Commission for Women recommending financial assistance and rehabilitation services to rape victims is gathering dust. The spontaneous protests by the students and the youth of the country after the shocking Delhi gang-rape is an apolitical movement for gender justice and fairness in the social system of India. Instead of seizing the opportunity, the government mishandled it,and is now trying to discredit and defame the movement. History will never forgive the ruling class. Abhijit Mukherjee, MP and son of the Indian President, compared in his ignorance or arrogance with the Arab Spring referring to the movement as PINK REVOLUTION by " dented and painted pretty women". Is he prophetic? What happened in Egypt and to President Mubarack could happen to the short-sighted Delhi rulers in 2014.
