Whenever I see men talking about rape incidents analytically and giving it a political angle, I'm always stunned by the audacity. The only reason you can talk about it "logically" is because the chances of this happening to you are slim, or negligible compared to an average woman. Because you know you won't be subjected to the same violence and game of power control. Because unlike women, your mind doesn't draw a parallel to every single time you felt unsafe. Because you don't hear "be safe and aware of your surroundings" from your families every single day.
All the self proclaimed "straightforward" and "blunt" men who call women "too emotional" and "crazy" for reacting as we do, as if reading these cases happening daily in multiple numbers doesn't give you enough trauma. It's frightening.
How am I supposed to trust any guy I come across my workplace, or city? This incident in Kolkata was just one highlighted amongst thousands of cases buried in files, half of them go unreported due to family pressure and public image. The actual numbers are way more horrifying and grotesque.
How am I supposed to trust any man I come across? Because what are the odds?
This 'meet new people, make friends, have fun, create memories' philosophy is irrelevant because women live in constant fear.
This fight or flight mode affects our nervous system.
This affects our emotional intelligence.
This affects our health.
This affects our Lifestyle.
But please, do go on and enlighten me how I'm exaggerating, overreacting and should calm down.
NOTE: THIS POST HAS INFO SOLELY BASED ON MY OWN RESEARCH, SOURCES FROM THE NEWS AND INTERNET SO CREDS OF SS TO THE OWNERS. if you have any other information regarding this case, please please do feel free to reblog this and share them, as i can't compile everything in one post due to the case being an ongoing one. I would appreciate if you could read all of it, I tried to keep it short and compact and easy enough for everyone to understand. Of course, I have to keep a few names and specific political parties and critism out of this for obvious reasons of this post being taken down, but trust me, karma is real.
Do tell me if I lack anything, will try my best to add it or make another post about it. WE WANT JUSTICE.
01 TAKE HER NAME, DON'T FORGET HER
Dr. Moumita Debnath, a junior female doctor, a 2nd year PGT at R G KAR medical college and hospital was gang r4ped and m4rdered in the college seminar hall, while she was in a 36 hr shift, in 9th of August, 2024, Kolkata.
R G KAR, a reputed college and hospital, only allowing the top of brains to enter its premises, has now lost it's name to this heinous crime. Moumita debnath's perpetrators live to this day and the college authorities are yet to pay any heed. Why?
That poor girl was bleeding from her eyes, vagina, with disfigured limbs and broken collarbones, bite marks, broken pelvic girdle and hyoid bone several other signs of struggle and violence ( attached report below ) Even her legs were forcefully coaxed apart, that her bones were broken. 150 gms of sperm was have been discovered from her body, when a male individual can only transfer a maximum of 15 gms. Can you imagine her pain? What did she do to deserve this pain and suffering, this heinous crime against her? Can you imagine how her parents must have felt to hear the news?
Oh, I forgot. This absolute blood boiling, gut wrenching and demonic of an act was immediately announced as a "SU3CIDE" upon initial FIR, and to her parents, by authorities. Can't you see? How they tried to coarctate the matter by calling it a su3cide?
How can a girl with extreme signs of violence and r4pe on her body, with little to no clothes, broken limbs, bleeding eyes, commit a su4cide? THIS IS A BLOT ON THE AUTHORITIES WHO ARE CLEARING VIEWING THIS MATTER AS A JOKE no girl in that condition can commit a su3cide, do you really think people are THAT DUMB?? that we won't notice you trying to cover up this case??
02 TAMPER THE EVIDENCE, HIDE THE CRIMINAL
Dr. Moumita Debnath's body was cremated without her parents' approval/permission. They were kept waiting for 3 fucking hours. As if to get rid of her body as soon as they can with minimal autopsy, before CBI could even start investigation.
As soon as this case was handed over from WBPD ( west bengal police department ) to CBI ( central bereau of intelligence ) mobs have barged in and LITERALLY DAMAGED THE WALLS BESIDE THE SEMINAR HALL ( the crime scene ) inside the college premises. And for what? Come on we know it all, for removal of some obvious evidence.
On 14th august, during the middle of the night which was during the ‘RAAT DOKHOLE MEYERA’ ( girls reclaim the night ) rally, in RG KAR, mobs yet again managed to infiltrate the college premises to cause damage again, this time targeting specific cctv cameras as well. They also vandalised public property and vehicles in a "profesional" way. — “MBBS student Anupam Roy, an eyewitness to the mob attack, said the mob's act was deliberate with the clandestine motive of ending their agitation.” — from Hindustan Times.
They even CAUSED HARM TO THE WASHROOMS OF THE FLOOR WHERE EVIDENCE COULD'VE BEEN FOUND. The motive of the mob is obvious— to tamper the evidence in order to protect the perpetrators.
03. POLITICS BEFORE BASIC LAW & ORDER?
Political parties are busy blaming each other and throwing dirt on names, meanwhile also trying to hide the perpetrators and start protests against opposition parties. Is your political position and meaningless arguments more valuable than a girl's life which been lost so brutally? Can we not keep politics aside, just for a moment and try to bring the girl justice? These thick skinned selfish monsters don't feel the pain of her parents, the emotions of helpless women and the crime they're commiting themselves.
They are slowly shifting away from the main matter of bringing her justice, trying to coarctate is slowly by heavy politics. Well the public is not dumb, we can see it all and understand how our CM doesn't even care about this situation.
SHAME ON YOU, the authorities, you're are only hope in this city in this state and you're acting this way?! Do you not have spines? Is money and votes everything to you? How low is too low and why is it the west bengal government?
They even have an accused suspect in custody ( Sanjoy Roy ) whom everybody is calling a scapegoat, which he possibly could be regarding the governments recent inactivities towards the situation. They are even giving out orders to resist rallies and protests, such a fucking disgrace, cause then vandalism and tampering of evidence is right but not raising your voice against it?
04. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE?
This year marks the 77th independent year for India, but are we really? Women are not safe at night walking along the streets their own ancestors fought for, women are not safe in their own workplace working shifts, women are not safe in public transport, in their homes, neighbourhood, schools, colleges, NOWHERE ARE WE ALLOWED TO HAVE A PEACEFUL BREATHE. But for how long? It's been 12 years since we witnessed a similar, horrible and atrocious crime as NIRBHAYA, only for it to happen again. This shows how weak, corrupted, and unjust Indian judiciary system has become, and as an Indian myself, it ashames me deeply to admit this. We are failing as a society, still not being able to create a safe environment for our women.
But time has come now to raise our voice and fists together against this oppressive, corrupt government and snatch our own freedom ourselves. DONT YOU EVER FORGET ABOUT HER, TAKE AND HER NAME AND PROMISE YOURSELF TO BRING HER JUSTICE. If we forget and give up, god knows how many others will die like this without any justice. Justice is ours and we will have it, there is no point of being 'independent' if we have to do candle marches every other day, mourn for our women every other day, be scared of letting our daughter out every other day.
This is time, we rise up as one.
We want the actual criminals to be punished a hundred times more cruelly than Dr. Moumita Debnath was k!lied.
WE WANT JUSTICE. BRUTAL PUNISHMENT TO THE CRIMINALS.
ALL EYES ON RG KAR. ALL EYES ON DOCTORS. JUSTICE FOR MOUMITA DEBNATH.
posting a story on instagram won't make a difference. we need to change how we view women. Often, crimes against women get attention only after the victim is killed and only if society thinks she was "respectable." Social media and the news might briefly focus on the crime, but it rarely leads to real change. People quickly call for harsh punishments like "hang the rapists" but this just becomes a hot topic for news and then disappears into thin air without any true action upon those rapists.
Ask yourself: Are we truly making a difference, or are we merely engaging in performative activism? the reality is that posting on social media doesn't challenge the deeply rooted societal norms that allow such violence to persist.
Research shows that rape is not about arousal but about power and control. Some men feel a sense of superiority, viewing themselves as protectors and women as inferior, weak and pathetic beings. We need to introspect and understand that both men and women are equal. Nobody is superior. Think about how often we excuse inappropriate behavior towards women as "boys being boys." How frequently do we ignore patriarchal comments or actions from our friends and not even hold them accountable for their actions? how often do we judge women based on their appearance rather than their abilities? how frequently do we disrespect a woman for having multiple partners or being sexually active?
we live in a society that objectifies women as sexual objects and normalizes rape within marriage as if it's just a part of marriage. We are the same society that sensationalizes a woman's (tripti) sensuality rather than her other movies. We applaud when a woman from a particular community is raped, and we elect ministers or parties led by those with histories of sexual violence. it high time to realize that rapists are not born, but they are made by the members of our society. Rape culture is embedded in our day to day lives, and outrage after a horrific incident alone will not eradicate this culture. Rape is the result of a long history of patriarchy.
so, when you ask, "how could they have raped her so brutally? how did they not shiver? are they even human?" remember that we are all part of the system that allows this violence. it's up to us to address and change this culture.
I'm seeing so many petty men commenting "what about false rape cases?" "What about the guy who was killed in xyz?" "What about men?" Under posts discussing the rape culture in India and talking about women's issue. I find it funny because that's the only place you'll ever see them talking about male issues. Under a post discussing women ailments.
If the only time men are talking about their problems when women's problems are being addressed, you don't want justice. You simply want attention. You're weak, insecure and pathetic.
"Not all men rape like not all drivers drive drunk. "
But Drunk driving ads are Targeted towards all drivers. Even those who drive sober.
When you come across a snake, you try to get rid of it, regardless of the fact that there are so many non-poisonous species.
The message goes to all. But men? Oh no! How sad that every man is seen as a potential rapist and threat to a woman's security ! How can we ever generalize them? Right?
We all know that "not all men". But just enough men that EVERY SINGLE woman has faced some sort of harassment in her life by a man. INCLUDING MYSELF.
A society when these heinous crimes are dominated by men, it's a man's duty to prove "not all men" . And a man should do it by calling other men out. As a man it's your responsibility to correct people around you for their sexism. Stop the victim blaming. Calling yourself a nice guy and crying about how your "feelings are hurt because everyone is posting about how they're scared of men" WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE RAPE CASES HAPPENING EVERYDAY. Stop whining.
Before you say "not all men," answer this: Are you actively holding the predatory men in your life accountable and supporting survivors? No? Then you're part of the problem.
The rape culture starts from catcalling, unsolicited dick pics, slut shaming, boys group chats, taking non consensual photos, stalking, leering. Are you calling men around yourself out who do this? No? Then stop saying not all men.
whoever jokes , and laughs abt the dr Moumita incident , and whoever disrespect her should rot in hell alongside with her r@pists . i dont get why ppl find anything funny abt it , it's a serious and heart breaking topic . no one should make light of it .
