Posting Rapist Address and Picture on a website, how good or bad it is?

I might sound taking side of rapist but just couldn’t find much use of this scheme. It looked like government will lick it’s own spit in few months or may be in couple of years. This proposed solution might just not solve any purpose but just open another can of worms.

 
 
Here are my 2 cents, why do I think that this solution should not be implemented and should be given proper thought rather than rushing and jumping our guns.
 
When would Delhi police post a picture of some person?
  1. As soon as case is registered against some one – I don’t think so. Because then some psycho women can use this as a weapon to sort out their personal grudges.
  2. When some one is convicted and given a sentence ? Most probably yes. If we have already given a prison sentence then why do we need his picture on website. Are we saying that even after completing his prison, he will not be changed and will still be involved in wrong doings. Then, Our justice system is too lenient and should bring amendments to fix that. On the other hand, if we believe our justice system and believe that guy will be changed at the end of his punishment and not going to involve in wrong doing then why do we need his picture on Delhi police website. This will just take away his chances to correct himself and will push back towards crime and will give more reasons to indulge in wrong activities.
 
I am almost sure that as soon as one of these ex culprit kills himself out of embarrassment, Human rights and NGO will take out their swords against this and government will have  no option but to revert this back. I see more drawbacks in this solution then positives.
 
I think, the main cause is people’s mentality. Men are treating women as an object and feeling that they can get away with anything to everything in this country or their blind belief on our slow paced justice system. That’s why 90% of such cases are not even reported in this country.
 
I guess we need to focus on these areas rather coming up with an stupid idea like the one mentioned above. We need to change course curriculum, we need to empower the women of our country. Probably having a separate court, which is continuously working on such cases and bringing down the tenor to months if not days. Every quick judgement will destroy confidence of these rapists. Proper support to girl/women and careful handling of such cases. We have to have proper mechanism to add these victims to main stream once again, these things will boost girl and her families confidence to come out in open an report such cases.
 
One can ask why government is coming up with this?
They just want to show us ( Indians) that they are serious and want to do something for mango people like me. So that we can sit at our home and stop protesting and stop scrutinizing their each and every action.
 
I will take this as an opportunity to address our beloved prime minister  Dr Manmohan singh. Please start  taking us ( people of India) a bit serious. Please don’t consider us foolish and stop acting as one of those by yourself. India has people from IITs, IIMs and AIMS, they do understand what you and your government is doing. The time has gone, when leaders were able to say whatever they want and later get rid of that. Today’s India is more educated and knows what they want. This is high time, when you start delivering or make room for some one else who can take care of Indian.
