Skeptic zones

Two things happened last week in the second highest per capita income state of Haryana. Also, the state of fast growing SEZs. Where, only 86.7 girls survive, expected to attain womanhood for a hundred men.
Sarita, an ordinary woman from Rohtak, raped by two police constables, died in the office of DGP at Panchkula. She had consumed poison before meeting the DGP. She told the DGP what she had done, as, she had no hope of receiving justice from the system. Five hours were spent before her death and interview with the DGP. Nothing was done. Perhaps, her word was not important enough for attention.
Her mother too was raped and murdered, twenty years back. This forced her father to leave his ancestral village.
The Chief Minister released the logo and motto of the first women’s university in the state, BPS Mahila Vishwavidyalaya at Khanpur Kalan. ‘Empowering women with Education’, the motto was prominently displayed on the logo.
Sarita tried all that an educated, so called empowered woman could have done to get heard, despite her modest educational background.
The same day chief secretary, Dharam Veer, addressing a press conference asked the scribes to change the topic when they pestered him with queries on Sarita’s suicide. He wanted to talk about success story of SEZ.
