I am relieved that the God of Lesser beings took mercy on this little Angel and took her away. This place was not for her. This place is not for vulnerable little girls. This place is not worthy of little girls. It is a land where Goddesses are worshiped but little girls unwanted from the day they are born. It is a land that has become inured to the plight of girls who continue to be used and abused, their silent and helping cries falling on deaf ears. It is a land where victims are made treated as culprits in subtle and insidious ways.
Today's front page headline describes how the young mother raped by seven spends her days at the police station without being questioned. "I have to go there daily, sit around. People stare at me, but that's all right. They give me tea. In the evening, I have to sign a register and then I can go. Why don't they ask me anything?" she quietly states. Why is she treated with such insensitivity? Why are all women who have been hurt treated in such uncaring and cruel ways. How long will it take for things to change. I have no answers and cannot believe in miracles.
Farewell baby Falak. You deserve a better place. Please forgive us for all the pain and hurt our callous world sent your way,
Rest in peace.
