Shornur train disaster

My last post was about mistakes committed due to unawareness over the situations. But recently we had come across a series of news, one of which had been shocking enough to shake the faith of mankind.
A lady, the backbone of a family was brutally murdered. As I have heard, first the person got into the train, got hold on her, pushed her out of the moving train, smashed her head on the train and then raped her. She died days later.
Points to be noted are crucial. One, that the man was handicapped, shows that trusts can not be attained even from people with lesser body parts. Two, people didn't respond. Yeah, they were scared of the one hand man.
What had happened here? In my words, nothing more than cruelty and selfishness has happened here. The man, who was once a part of the Mumbai gangsters, took full courage to destroy a lady in the cruelest manner ever heard in the history of mankind. What is further more shocking is the ill-response shown by her fellow travelers, who later said, "We couldn't do anything." They could at least push him away, or stop the train by simply pulling the chain.
The sense of rightness has disappeared from the people of this nation. No one is willing to help one another. I feel ashamed to call myself a man, for a man would never do such a cruelty to women. And yet, we have fully grown man, ready to do anything to get anything he wants. Such a man should be hanged by all means.
But then, what good will it do now? The girl is dead. The family is destroyed. The government offers money. Many will cry in front of the cameras. News to speak about for a week and then no one will even remember such a thing happened. Scandals which are new will always be born. People today like scandals more.
Justice has to be made. It is not by acting just for this lady. The inefficiency of Indian railways, security and even the Indian political scenario is clear after this. And so, it is hereby a necessity for the welfare, safety, goodness and progress of a better nation, that the government and people themselves should take strong steps ahead.
People can keep themselves safe and act well. People should learn that all are one.
The government should get more care ion the security systems for the transports; let it be train, plane or even bus.
People like this man should be hanged publicly, so that no other men raise their hand against a woman as such. Women are not bags of entertainments, but mothers, sisters, goddesses of the society.
Let us hold hands together for this lady. Let us raise our voice for justice. For what justice be made today will be for everyone tomorrow.
