Fast Tracking justice....

Few months back a Japanese tourist was raped in Pushkar and there was hue and cry about this incident...a fast track court was set up and today the verdict was announced...7 yrs RI....this is great news and i am glad justice has won...but this raised several questions??

every day several women get raped in our country...why isnt anyone taking notice of all this and fast tracking justice here??

was this done becos she was a foreign national??

there is more to this than that meets the eye! Rajasthan, the state where it happened depends on tourism a lot for its revenue....since april 3 foreign tourists have been raped in the state...the state was under tremendous pressure to act not only from the concerned foreign embassies of the victims but also from the various service industries (hotels, travels etc etc) to do something to save face....

this is indeed a telling tale of how money and market forces seem to always work even when it comes to such ghastly incidents! welcome to kalyug!

Our courts seem to deliver verdict fast whenever media highlights the story or makes a fuzz about it...
